I came to NY to write/catsit for six days, and it's a thousand degrees and this apartment only has one AC unit in the bedroom and they're asking us to not use electricity between 2-10pm and there's a threat of blackouts. In case anyone wonders why funded residencies would be nice for moms.

The key to success is to do the opposite of what you tell your students to do. Casting a wide net with this little story. Flinging it into the sky and the nearest volcano. I'm aging out of submitting, I think.

I often don't have the space to take on new writing clients. I've grabbed many of your emails to share with writers who reach out to me. But I'm now looking for someone who loves, and focuses on, fantasy/sci-fi. I'm the wrong editor for this writer! Are you an editor who loves this genre?
Sat my ass down to revise this gd book and promptly wrote an entirely new chapter.
