I got up early & wrote 750 words of my article on working with @jodipicoult.bsky.social on her book, By Any Other Name. it feels good to be writing again. maybe the brain zaps are working.
![I read an early draft of By Any Other Name while at the beach with my family. I remember the moment I first encountered Shakespeare in the text. I was not happy: “This [man] was slighter, with a receding hairline and a weak chin badly camouflaged by a dark beard” (144). Emilia immediately remembers reading one of his very bad plays as Hunsdon’s companion. At the bar, Shakespeare claims, “I, too, will write for the stage” and Emilia thinks “Badly” (144). When reading this exchange, I thought: “Jodi, you don’t have to be so mean about it.” Quickly, though, I realized that this is exactly the sentiment built by Shakespeareans Picoult wanted to poke at—the belief that Shakespeare is a god beyond reproach.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yikxwunznk25qg42ugbzwfz4/bafkreigejypznwjlne3z2ow2sxlxo5e4bnzyibrbsrst6px7q2uvsspctu)

I had multiple readers this week tell me they burned my books.
