After finishing several intense rounds of edits with my fantastic editor, I think all the words in my book are now set! 😬 But working with an editor as brilliant as Jess was so awe-inspiring and quite humbling (like really, how many “just”s does one book need, Eric?!)

Oof, just finished this gem of a collection by the lovely and brilliant @writesloud.bsky.social 🔥 So good! (Obsessed with the story “One to Ten”! 🤯)

BOOK MAIL! 📚📬 So excited for HOW TO BE UNMOTHERED by @camilleuadams.bsky.social!! 💫

Finished ALL FOURS by Miranda July. Wow, so good! July brilliantly peels back each layer of skin of this character until all we are left with is this raw, messy truth. And we find that authenticity this real is so perverse and admirable in all the ways it should be.
