Reading new work that I dearly love from the absolutely stunning SAND 28 in Berlin yesterday evening @ Lettrétage

Very cool when people randomly reach out to say they are enjoying something you wrote. Don't be afraid to tell people you enjoy their work, I promise, we don't know. We hope.

You can find SILICONE GOD on B&N www.barnesandnoble.com/w/silicone-g...

Gentle reminder that you should absolutely tell creators of things that you like that you liked their thing. Maybe even make a thread about their thing and the things you liked. It means so much on an emotional level *and* its a great way to get more people to buy the thing :3
