Thinking today about how much I enjoyed @rlmaizes.bsky.social's A COMPLETE FICTION. The novel is set in and around the publishing biz and is charmingly wry while also having important things to say about the ethics of storytelling.

Delighted to have my end-of-year piece over @lilithmagazine.bsky.social included. Thx for reading and sharing @americanstudier.bsky.social

Applauding the writers who didn’t publish a goddamn thing this year because they’re being patient with their work. Those are the writers I admire and aspire to be more like.

My accomplishments this year: I published a book without losing my shit. Okay, maybe I lost some of my shit. Fine, I lost all of my shit and published a book. That’s how it is sometimes! And I’ll find my shit. Or I won’t. Who can say?

Boulder author R.L. Maizes skewers cancel culture, social media, and sisterhood in new novel “A Complete Fiction” trib.al/kNUGPIg

I wasn't sure that this book would enter the world. To make it happen, I had to be all things people hate women to be. Assertive (aggressive, pushy). Persistent (whiny, complainy). Ambitious, hungry (greedy, unsatisfied). (A regular bitch.) Onward. I have more writing to do and more people to annoy.
