For further context, I’ll abide a fair amount of tedium/corniness for a decent twist

I’ve made it this far without watching The Good Place but unfortunately I do know how season 1 ends. Is it still worth it? (I’m about three episodes in and so far find it somewhat tedious but have heard many good things)

I almost forgot the print edition was coming today! So thrilled

One thing about this that I find comforting is that it is incredibly, incredibly obvious when this is the case!!

I know why they have to ask! And usually instead of saying that I tell them (enthusiastically and optimistically) about the novel I wish I were working on!

I’ve been doing podcast interviews and the last question is always “Are you working on anything new?” Welp, I’m doing this podcast on my lunch break from my day job instead of eating lunch because it’s the only kid-free, work-free time I have all day, does it seem like I’m working on anything new 😩

Oh my gosh this is so cool!! You are going to narrate it beautifully

Shannon Sanders @shanders.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

One should not fret too much about being reviewed, of course, but I do think it’s ok to celebrate the triumph of being closely read and understood. I’m super tickled 🥰

Shannon Sanders @shanders.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

I think about this every day. I have been hearing from a few readers a day in the wake of publication. Every so often someone mentions they read my first book back in 2024 or something, and it makes me wonder who else isn’t telling me that!

Ok but can we talk about this? How would you respond?

Shannon Sanders @shanders.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Not naming names, but someone who lives in the same house as me just complained that he accidentally overheard a spoiler for the end of the book I finished writing two years ago, numerous finished copies of which have been stacked all around said house for more than seven months now 🙃

No advice but this sounds so exciting and cool!

Shannon Sanders @shanders.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

There is a whole spectrum of reading from *closely reading and savoring each word* to *flipping through like a flipbook and remembering nothing*, and I assume most readers could tackle 600 pages in a day and fall…somewhere on that spectrum. Who knows what the person you overheard did!

Shannon Sanders @shanders.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

One thing you can set your watch to as a working mom is that if anyone ever bothers to say “Hey, are you doing ok? You seem like you have too much on your plate” it is GUARANTEED it’s because they need you to be more available to *them*

Shannon Sanders @shanders.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I need you to please tell me which one (also hey I had no idea you were still here)
