Over a decade ago- I wrote “Surviving Antarctica” about a group of kids who reenacted the deadly but heroic Robert F. Scott expedition on reality TV for the successor to the Dept. of Education, the Department of Entertainment. Seems like the below announcement comes from the world of my book.

I’m rereading the Traveler. It holds up. Any other John Twelve Hawks fans out there?

For a book I’m writing with a canine narrator, I asked Copilot- “would a dog think that the yoga pose ‘downward dog’ is well named?” I love playing with AI.

I’m about to measure my microplastic level—a Xmas gift. Bryan Johnson has managed to monetize his well-publicized science experiment on himself.

Gorgeous day. My cold is almost gone. I’m loving the new world I’m building on paper. On Twitter- I used to try to be clever and get likes- (I rarely succeeded.)Here I just want to be myself. Happy holidays all!

Another thing that makes me feel optimistic- the incredible imaginations of the set and costume designers for the Magic Flute at the Metropolitan Opera.

Things I’m optimistic about:
Hopefully the Senate will change hands in 2 years- so it’s only two years (not four) of nearly absolute power . The worlds I’m building in my writing. A new hobby!

Cormac McCarthy’s Secret Muse Breaks Her Silence After Half a Century - Vanity Fair

Zoo lights in Houston is amazing!

How can I use AI to format my middle grade novel?

Now that I am no longer scrolling Apple News- I’m looking for a new hobby. I’m not detail oriented enough to bake or birdwatch. I tried and didn’t like gardening or mahjong. Thoughts?

Love your writing. I’m excited to read your upcoming book!

I’m so excited to be on BlueSky. I set my preferences for writing, movies, art and no politics.
