I saw a play tonight that was a β€œrevision” of a play from the 1920s, set in the 1920s, and all the music was Radiohead, except one Nirvana song at intermission. I’m not complaining! I’m just confused.

Smartphones, Dumbphones, and Delusions of Platform-Building β€œI don’t actually need my smartphone to write, but do I need it in order to be seen as a writer?”

"Sales of my book have been fine, maybe even good if you take into account that nonfiction sales are dire... But I don’t think anything I did on social media had anything to do with those sales.

Spotlight on mac is so dumb. I search the name of a client to find one of her over a dozen contracts in my files to reference. The second entry in the search results is a link to web results for a relief pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. Like wtaf.

Are Authors Wasting Agents' Time? A Q&A Weekend Edition

My thoughts here: www.agentsandbooks.com/are-authors-...

I got an interesting question in my inbox: A freelance editor said they often work with writers who they think won't have a chance getting an agent w/ their query/manuscript. Should that freelance editor tell those writers so they don't waste the agent's time, and thus freeing up the query logjam?

Holy shit, I just got my very first royalty payment. After close to 2 years, THE Z WORD has earned out its advance. I'm so thrilled and proud. Thank you to everyone who read, bought, borrowed, reviewed, or recommended my queer zombie apocalypse book. I love you all!
