Reminder that it’s not just the big elections that matter! For example, our town is voting on whether or not to increase the local library budget (heck yes!). Make sure you get out there and vote today!

…to let me know that they’ve decided to cancel interviews for the role (???) 😒

I have a Masters and 15 years of experience. This is one of very few responses I’ve had to 40+ job applications. I’m tired, y’all.

If you’re wondering what job searching is like right now– I applied for a job back in July. Got an interview. Nailed it. Went into hiring process. Then radio silence for 3 months. Last week, they asked me to come in for another interview (?) set for tomorrow. Today they emailed…

Looking for a Halloween read? Look no further!

Steeped in indigenous horror and told from the perspective of the monsters themselves, SEVEN LEGENDARY MONSTERS explores the duality of good and evil, the weight of curses, and the enduring power of sacrifice.

That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually.

The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

Saeed Jones @theferocity.bsky.social · 16d

In terms of process, I enjoy writing but revising????? Oh, that’s my real kink. A second or third draft???? A fourth???? Making tweaks on my desktop AND my phone???? *moans* I’m a WHORE for revision.

A sincere thank you to everyone who marched yesterday 🙏🏽

After I was threatened at the last protest, I decided to sit this one out for my own safety. But y’all showed up for me and everyone else who couldn’t be there 🙌🏽

Keep that momentum going! ✊🏽

I’m trying to figure that out! I will definitely take time during the job search to write/ finish my books. I also enrolled in a course to get my professional translator license. So we shall see what comes next.

No one talks about the grief of losing a job you love. And yet, so many of us are dealing with that right now. Sending love to those who don’t know how to feel about what comes next.
