Look of a writer bartender who couldn't sleep last night (or the night before) and has 50k words and (may have finally) figured out the structure on this draft of the novel. Writing hasn't been as linear as I'd like it to be, but it's great to be putting words back on the page again.

Happy Dia de los Muertos to all those who celebrate. And a gentle reminder that one of the most targeted groups in our current regime/country/whatever, are Latines. Last week, the paper wrote about the dearth of Latine events in NO this year some due to lack of funding, some due to fear of targeting

Have you caught yourself thinking that you really hate that you missed the book launch for Charras last month? Or that you haven't gotten your copy of Charras? Or that you wish there was an event on the one month and one day anniversary of that book launch?

Do I know any good book reviewers (or people who know good book reviewers), who have interest in reviewing a Mexican novel translated for the first time? One about unions, labor organizing, activism, true crime, the power of the people?
