I know we’re still thinking about year two but I’m already dreaming about print

We are only $10 away from $6k CA!!! My brain is taking very strongly to Watch Number Go Up as a second monitor activity

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

I’m not dead. I sleep sometimes. Sleep comes very close to death, everyone knows that. The dead walk in dreams, everyone knows that. They come to you alive, and they say things. They walk out of death into the dreams.

Good morning, friends! We are ✨SO CLOSE✨ to hitting that 5k benchmark; let's do it today! Many excellent goodies available, and two sold-out reward tiers have been made available again!

”We want to keep bringing you cozy, slice of life fantasy, & to hold on to the sentiment of no plot, just vibes. We want to keep reading your stories about comfort & connection, perseverance, & the healing power of cooking.” Lovely words from managing editor @loukoren.bsky.social. Keep T&F alive!

I got sucked into a research rabbit hole during this morning’s writing session, and started worrying that I was spending too much writing time on research. But I’ve realized I really value how much learning my writing practice brings into my life. Now I’m out of school, it’s my biggest source of it

Speaking of @augursociety.bsky.social, they're currently running a Kickstarter to support another fabulous year of Tales & Feathers. Consider helping them out if you can!

Love @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social's art of @aijiang.bsky.social's new book! What a sweet gesture 📚🌊☁️

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

And in later years he strove long to learn what can be learned, in silence, from the eyes of animals, the flight of birds, the great slow gestures of trees.

He was appalled by the examination system, when it was explained to him, he could not imagine a greater deterrent to the natural wish to learn than this pattern of cramming in information and disgorging it on demand.

The shot of dopamine whenever I spot a new one is unparalleled

Well, uh, this would be a great day to sell about 35 issues. 🫠 books2read.com/u/bPPjMj

A record year for dam removals reconnects US rivers, reconnecting over 7,900 km of rivers. Many of the structures were obsolete or unsafe, and their removal is already restoring fish migration routes, reducing flood risks, and reviving ecosystems. American Rivers buff.ly/LwcNbjh #ShareGoodNewsToo

Glorian Shieldheart I would ride into battle for you

Maybe my agent loves the new novel. Maybe she hates it. Maybe we sell it. Maybe we don’t. There’s a thousand other maybes, and I don’t control any of them. What I control is the work, so I worked a bit on the next one yesterday. Always be writing the next one.

It begins!
