I got the best rejection of my life from a small press for my novella. Nothing but praise and assurances that it’s a great book, wrong press. I wish I had rejections like that every time! But it’s put me in a tough spot. (1/2)

My cat likes my new sleeping pad for bikepacking. I have a Durston tent and poles on order to replace the Amazon tent I’ve been using. I justify these purchases by telling myself that if I ever have to bug out, I will be comfortable.

Have six stories pending in the slush pile, a fantasy map commission heading to the second round, seeking an editor for my sequel still, and grinding away on drafts of two novellas. My biggest hope is that all the short stories and novellas find their home this year

On average, the stories I accept have amassed 6 rejections before they're submitted to FF. (A surprising (to me) number of these were sent to FF as their first or second stop, which I appreciate, but chase that big money, folks!) Lines up pretty close to the average in the Grinder's thread! 2/

In honor of the 4th of July, I’m going to take a minute to talk about how I found and participated in my first protest. It’s probably not the best way to do it, but it did work over and over and over again. 🧵

I’m going on vacation. I should buy some books. It’s my niece’s first birthday. I should buy her some books… and get some for me. I’m passing through a city on my way to vacation for lunch. I should visit the bookstore. I’m on vacation. I should visit this bookstore. There’s another bookstore—

I’m relieved to announce that I have finally wrapped up the ninth draft of my sequel and sent the manuscript off to my editor. I think I could keep chipping away at things to improve, but I feel like I’ve taken it as far as I can go on my own and need a fresh set of eyes on it.

I bought some vintage dishware to make slip casts of their bodies, make approximations of how much clay to use while hand building, and also have an idea of how large the copied forms should be. Breaking out the high school geometry notes to measure radius, height, and angle 📐 #pottery #handbuilding
