at some point did you think you were dreaming?
one writer's workshop ended with two guys anonymously writing mean notes on my manuscript but it was easy to figure out who - I didn't write for a year but it felt oh-so-good when I later did a two-book, six-figure deal with the manuscript they dissed

Got chickens, planted vegetables. Expecting belt-tightening.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Makes me grateful to be happily partnered.

All four!

NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️

Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home.

Ethics aside, those were creepy as heck

The mom from "Humans" is on "Rivals" and it nearly drove me mad trying to figure out what I knew her from until I got it.

It is SO good

I loved this show SO MUCH!

Had my cataract surgery today and have never in my life felt so much like a trussed turkey on an assembly line (doc & anesthesiologist were lovely but everyone had perfected the pretend-we-care routine). Made me nostalgic for my retinal surgery.

I love things like doing laundry because the machines are doing all the work and I can pretend I am working.

I LOVED that book as a young teen

Just stop using Google.
DuckDuckGo is great.

I switched to DuckDuckGo - no more Google. For multiple reasons.

I misread this as KING OF FISHES and now I kind of want to read that book ...

Seems as if it was her own kid.

If you don't already own a copy of THE BIG REWIND or NEGATIVE GIRL (or haven't left a glowing review!) now would be a really, really good time to do so.

I could use the boost, financially and mentally.

Anyone on Medicaid can see that already - such limited health care that the goal does seem to be to have us exit the earth as expeditiously as possible.

Yes yes yes! Note that this book is hard to find (Amazon may have a few copies left, but no other bookseller seems to) but ebooks and the recorded version are available.

In short:
* there is very little the author can do on social media to sell books
* the Good News Firehose is just as detrimental as the Bad News Firehose
* taking a walk >opening your feed
* if publishing is hard for you right now, you're not alone
* keep writing; we need your stories 14/14

I've had to walk out of movie for the same reason. Blaringly loud, even with ear plugs.
PS I ask for - and get - my money back.

I remember more details than that - I was a writer before becoming an editor, remember! - but I am not spilling them here!
A group of us were exchanging "odd school lunch" stories ... mine was having to bring a large white turnip in my lunch.

Think 'cult.' It's the same sort of thing. Some will believe until they die, never mind mountains of evidence to the contrary or even their own mistreatment.

Always remember the story of your mother and how she would take you out for school lunch.
