Unexpected rabbit care duties.

Got my Q3/Q4 royalties report from a publisher. I'd like to hawk a novel of mine that I think deserves to be read more cause it's weird. Buy GRASSHANDS! I get 10% of every sale b/c I'm stupid & don't know how to negotiate contracts. But forget that for a moment and just bask in the slimy writing.

Great warmth in the Publishing For Minnesota auction, raising already over $40k. Lots of bids in for Event Horizon. Auction ends tomorrow, Friday 11:45pm EST. To bid on Event Horizon: www.32auctions.com/organization... General auction: www.32auctions.com/publishingfo...

My high school Alma Mater did a little write up on my book in their newsletter. Nice of them to spread the word. Just saying that my book makes excellent snow day reading if you feel like being in your feelings.

Do you want to build a snowman? No, actually. (My failed attempt/I got bored real quick, lol).

Obligatory birbs on snow picture. 🪶

trying to save up some $$$ for stuff I can't talk about right now, so last night I went thru most of my rare books and listed them on ebay, if anyone was interested! (will probably do the same for movies at a later date.) browse here: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_...

I'm struggling with whether to shill books on social media while the world is burning down. Taking a little bit of solace in working on a project about resistance against racist fascists. Here's a bit of the cover.

Thinking about Jane Austen re-read from a couple of years ago. Trying to decide a new one for this year. Moby Dick is already on the list as a classic I haven't read before. But I am thinking either Flannery O'Connor or Dostoevsky for their oeuvre. 🤔
