Sometimes you want to get something off your chest and sometimes you just don’t mind #cats

The immediate AI comments on posts about reading and writing are (ironic, obtuse, soulless, misdirected, but let’s just go with) depressing.

Why, it could be… Greece lightning! 🇬🇷⚡️🏺#amreading #books

Zone 15 smashed it—or at least de-trashed it—in the PLG Brooklyn “Clean for Halloween” community clean-up! 🎃 🗑️ 🧤

Thrilled to be on the legendary and generous Dru Ann Love’s blog today, answering all the big questions! It was less a white-hot spotlight shining in my eyes than a lovely antique lamp on the end table, and that was fine with me! #readingcommunity #books drusbookmusing.com/word-with…

There was a vintage books pop-up at the coffee place this morning (My twin Kryptonites! Who was behind this pop-up, Lex Luthor?!) and I went deep purple 📚 #books #readingcommunity #Didion

Not how I expected it to start

Just 3 writing days this month & doubtful there will be more. It was 7 in Sept. and 10 in August. Part of that is just the vagaries of freelancing & part is the press of marketing/publicity/etc. as the launch approaches. I feel like a juggler juggling jugglers! #writingcommunity

You try a lot when you’ve got a book coming out. You send a lot of cold emails 🥶 But I have 2 emails sitting in my drafts folder that are either OUTSIDE-THE-BOX but worth a shot OR just TERRIBLE ideas. Possibly nuts. And yet they’re right there, 1 click away… #writingcommunity

About once a launch I attempt to teach myself Canva—anyhoo, The Birder Murder, out 12/1 from @crookedlanebks! #writingcommunity #authorlife #readingcommunity

Joe Junior, still going strong just off Union Square. Walked past and had to stop in for a cheeseburger deluxe. As good today as it was 20 years ago. Oh the stories these great old NYC diners could tell about us & we could tell about them—the days and nights and early mornings!

Sunday. Writing done. Just winging it.

First writing day this month. 829 words to fumble/find/squirm my way back into this manuscript! #WritingCommmunity #amwriting(finally)

Four players on bye, one on PUP. It is next man up this week for my #fantasyfootball team, Puka Round & Find Out!
