One of the first people I ever worked for in publishing used "McMuffin" in this context with a completely straight face. I kept it together, but I have never forgotten that moment. It should have been a sign that it was perhaps not the right fit. Hahahaha.

Ah yes, perhaps the most beloved literary trope of all: the classic McMuffin

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

Dear NYT Connections, That was rude.

Once we figure out this whole "publishers trying to take all the money from the anthropic settlement" nonsense, we should probably circle back on all those copyrights that weren't filed but should have been filed contractually.

My brilliant aunt @lydiahamessley.bsky.social is a Dolly Parton scholar who spent the last week being interviewed about Dolly's music and legacy. Wanted to share one of the many interviews she did last week in the middle of the night from her vacation in Europe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPDV...

Dolly Parton: ‘The Whole Country Is In Mourning For Her’

YouTube video by Times Radio

Dolly Parton asked about trans rights: "I just want everybody to be treated good... I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That’s who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton."

The Dollywood Foundation is genuinely life changing for thousands of people, the Imagination Library is a huge achievement, her support of communities after the fires in the Smokey Mountains was incredible, her funding helping to produce the Moderna COVID vaccine cannot be understated.

My whole phone has popped off with notifications about Dolly Parton. She was unlike any other performer of her era. Rest in peace, Dolly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW2T...

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

NYC editors! I'm briefly visiting the city 9/8-9/10 for a client launch event and would love to meet up in person while I'm in town! Let's chat! Hit me up and we'll get something on the calendar!

My debut picture book, with gorgeous illustrations by Claudia Navarro, is six years old today! I wrote DANCE LIKE A LEAF for the extraordinary person who inspired me to be an author, my Grandma Jeanne ❤️ #kidlit #bookbirthday #booksky

So in love with the cover of @madeleinegunhart.bsky.social's WHEN DEATH CAME TO HONEYBLOOM. Especially proud because this was the first adult deal I did as an agent and now you can't stop me!

I genuinely can’t articulate how lucky I feel to have Raff and Essa brought to life *so* beautifully by such talented folks! I think I’ll be in awe of this cover forever. I want to eat it like sorbet!!! #covereveal #booksky #romantasy #cozyfantasy

WHEN DEATH CAME TO HONEYBLOOM, my debut cozy fantasy novel about a culler sent to wipe out a small town who must resist being charmed by the ways of mortal life (and a frustrating, handsome wizard) is now available for preorder! It’s sweet, funny, whimsical, and a lil’ spicy 😉. I hope you love it!

Just an FYI. Plymouth Van Lines is the worst. Doubled our move estimate two days before the move after we put down our deposit. Tried to double it again when they arrived. And now despite picking up our stuff in CA on 7/28, they likely won’t drop off in Nebraska until late next week. I hate this.

Now I’m really in Nebraska.

At long last, I can publicly shout about my brilliant husband’s new position as the Johnny Carson Assistant Professor of Storytelling in Emerging Media Arts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. (Pretty cool title!) We begin our family road trip to Nebraska this weekend. Goodbye, California!
