Book promotion can be so daunting. This is a brilliant post by @katemckean.bsky.social. 'Long gone are the days of the writer who just writes the book and the publisher who publishes and promotes it. Mad about it? Blame media consolidation!!!!' www.agentsandbooks.com/what-if-your...

This judge is so tired 😂

I went to bed last night jealous of myself that I got to lay there for 7 hours and do nothing.

I succeeded in a small task. The light over my stove was halogen and got SO HOT the inside of the microwave above it was warm inside if we left it on too long. After several visits to hardware stores, I found an LED equivalent. I am a genius, a maverick, a hero.

What if you're too scared to send out your query letter? www.agentsandbooks.com/what-if-your...

i say this to my students a lot and am always surprised when they find it discouraging rather than exciting. no one cares as much as you do whether you write that book! you can write it however you want!
