not an original thought but bears repeating: half of writing is just being allowed time to sit on your ass uninterrupted and think about things really hard until you puzzle them out, which doesn't look or feel like work at all. but it is!

Collaged photos. A man leans on a white rock retaining wall, his fly suggestively open. His upper body is a silhouette cutout of another image, ghostly and sensual. Within the cutout is part of a bare torso and arm, also leaning against the rock.

I’m gonna say it: Breadloaf and now Bouchercon superspreader events should be a big wake-up call for the writing community.

Are we going to continue infecting one another without regard for our health or the health of others?

Or are we going to demand community care?

Five More Litmags to Read If you’re a literature lover, you’ll find something to enjoy in these five recently released issues.

From time to time, I post a quick roundup of recently published lit mags.

It isn't always easy to find out about new releases, so I’m always happy to be clued in, if you know of any.

I started drafting an outline for my first graphic novel last summer, and I finished writing the first draft yesterday. I’m super excited to start editing this story. My younger self would be happy to know I’ve returned to my love of graphic storytelling.

This is your evergreen reminder that you can support your writer friends (even if you're not into the kind of books they write) by asking your local public library to purchase their books. I can't speak for all writers, but I love libraries & love having my books in them!
