Since we’re talking about how much billionaires suck again, here’s a reminder that your local indie bookstore deserves your business this holiday season. They have gift cards and are happy to mail stuff out. Same goes for @bookshop-org.bsky.social. Buy books. Give books. Support bookstores.

My favorite tip on writing high-stakes dialogue comes from my playwriting teacher: take two monologues (or long chunks if it’s a book) from each character & have them alternate speaking. In real life, people speak over each other/don’t listen all the time, so it’s a fun framework to experiment with
