I have remained more or less normally functional from 6:30 am to nearly 11 pm, managed to conquer an unusual amount of my to do list, with only my usual amount of caffeine Still got it Now SPLAT

Every once in a while, just to make sure I can still do it, I see if I still have the ability to function semi-normally on 3 hours of sleep, like the newborn days (Not really but that maybe sounds better than “I stayed up until nearly 3 am reading bc wtf is self-control”)

The first of the month surge is always a fraught time for first readers. You go from "manageable, manageable, manageable" to "slow down, I'm drowning!" in a flash. But seriously, keep the submissions coming! We're pleased with how this year has gone. It's a lot of work, but work we love.

Ever wanted to get into sports but there's so much lore? Or not enough lesbians? Or you just wanted to get in on the ground floor of something? Women's Professional Baseball, y'all. It's a thing that I need to keep happening, and for that to happen, y'all ALSO need to watch it

Just an FYI, donate to Paige if you can. She ran a great, grassroots campaign with no big donors, and paid the final cost for all her staff on her credit cards, which she now needs to pay off. Her progressive views have my support and I hope she runs again. www.gofundme.com/f/paige-loud

How long does it take to emerge as a writer? From what are we emerging? It’s dark in here, and I’m starting to feel stuck.

The kids are at camp and I have the house to myself with nowhere to be for the first time since at least June 2nd I’m relaxing in places I forgot could relax… Now to go email an agent about a book 🤞🏻
