I keep wanting to take a photo of myself and the book with fake blood everywhere but keep putting it off. As such I forgot to note that this episode is out. It eased a ton of my anxieties about talking about work like this. John is a legend.
I got to talk with everyone's favorite independent literature podcaster again, now almost a year out from the release of MASSIVE, we talked about Joe's insights and the general response to the book.

In the new episode of Writing The Rapids @divinetailor.bsky.social and I talk exclusively about Horses. Not really, but wouldn’t it be funny if we did?

The kid had a hard time falling asleep last night. Spent about an hour with her talking and reading books. And while it was a challenge, it’s always so wonderful to watch her face as she goes from squeezing her eyes shut trying to sleep to relaxing as sleep does finally come.
