For my kids 18th, we take them to a city with friends and let them explore. Yesterday, spent the day in NYC with my daughter while my son roamed with his boys.

Happy inaugural #mswl day to all who are #writing and #querying! I’m a literary agent looking for adult fiction and nonfiction. You’ll find my full #mswl profile here, www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/la..., and below is a snapshot of what I'd love to represent this year.

5th Book of the Year: This is Strategy by Seth Godin
So, I must confess, I'm a Godin-ite. I've read every book he's written. This one felt like a summary of his ideas in a lot of ways. It reads like a daily devotional. I'd recommend reading it slow, a few passages a day.
4th Book of the year: Solar Lottery by Philip K Dick
It was amazing. It's a huge epic with all the PKD futurist weird bits. I love how PKD does world building. He doesn't explain anything until he absolutely has to and then only in context of a scene. And even though its sci-fi, its all dialogue.
@tomholbrook.bsky.social and put a new discussion. We are joined this time by writing coach Daniel David Wallace. The three of us had an amazing time talking about Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4-O...

My 15 year old and I just listened to "untitled" by Kendrick which was released in 2014. That's a weird sentence. Some things about this world are cool. And the album is amazing open.spotify.com/album/0kL3TY...

Now that the weather has turned, I went back to walking Baltimore while Riggs is in dance. Fantastic stroll to MICA today. Baltimore is beautiful.

Neural experiment. Secret island.
Billionaire Ashlynn wanted empathy, not murder. Now her brain’s hijacked. Only Dr. Fields—the man she’s falling for—can help. But is he savior or villain?

Screenshot of a comment from the clock app. Comment reads, “I’d rather get hit by a bus than read a single word of that.” Response to said comment reads, “Cute, thanks for interacting, hope your fyp is filled with all the rainbow love as far as the thumb will scroll.”
When people send you hate on your posts, respond so the algorithms think they should see more. 😈😈👿
Here’s hoping this person’s feed is full of queer content forever and ever 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

"I've Been to the Mountain Top" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC6q...
Dr. King gives a final word as Moses looking into a promise land he will not see. (Every time I listen it makes me cry. Literally crying right now thinking about it.)
