Brother, what

Love this translation. Teach it every year in my higher-level lit class.

I love this poem every time I see it

Cheering at the curtain call for Phantom of the Opera. Turned around—everyone else was filming. The irony of honoring live art through a screen 🎭

Welcome!

As a teacher, I can't help but look at the state of the US and think I could've taught The Crucible a little better.

Ah, I see. So, it's less to do with popularity and more with how quickly they move through the writing, agenting, and publication process versus novels. Thanks for the read!

I have this exact list. Being able to do an honest autopsy on your writing and lucidly catolog what's killing it is one of the hardest but most useful skills.

All yours 🦋

I think too many people look at writing advice as a daily multi-vitamin to become a better writer rather than a prescription for an exact problem you've already identified in your work.

I would have guessed YA to hold a much larger portion of the pie. Any thoughts as to why not?

Please make one 🙏

One Pace is nice if you're interested in checking out a thoughtfully edited One Piece.

And some of the worst bosses are waiting to fuck you up right out of the gate.

I feel seen. Why do we do this?

Nailed the Ghibli vibes

Ghibli, Writing, and DnD!

I second the Animal Kingdom Lodge. I've also heard good things about Disney's Art of Animation Resort.

Congrats on your book release! Going to check it out.

Ignoring that low-stakes seems baked into the definition now, do you think there could be such a thing as high-stakes cozy fantasy? I'm thinking something in the vein of Ghibli.

Oh cool! As a high school English teacher, I'd love to write for a show like #AbbottElementary someday.

Horchata chai latte sounds heavenly. How have I not tried that combination...

Congrats! That's a huge achievement.

That's an incredible amount of words! And I thought my 40,000 since September was a lot.

Thanks for this!

Is that average for you? Also, curious how much of it you end up keeping after editing?

Beautiful cover! @mathiasball.bsky.social

It's wonderful how much genuine interaction there is, too! And less toxic is a plus 💚

I always like getting those subscription boxes for someone, especially if I live with them. They forget month to month, and you get to be surprised with them!

I expect many think they are bothering agents by sending so many updates, especially if they haven't received anything back about their initial query. Is it still fine to send a query, an update about an offer, and then a third update about a decision all before an initial response?
