Family cookbooks, filled with handwritten notes, sometimes held together with rubber bands, tell the story of generations of homemakers. They are irreplaceable treasures.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

It’s so weird spending 5 years working on something in service to others and then it’s out in the world and you have to spend all your time being like “hey will you buy this and read it bc it’s the biggest thing I’ve ever done and I would hate for it to go to waste” 😂

If you're an author being published by small and tiny presses, please shamelessly promote your work, however much your temperament might militate against it. I've seen many wonderful authors at this level so quickly forgotten when they die, you deserve all the readers you can get while you're alive.

I want a Christmas movie where someone goes back to their home town, meets their ex says, wow, bullet dodged. Now I remember what I hated it here and ho back with renewed love for the partner they were about to dump.

Community isn’t something you show up to consume. It requires you to contribute, collaborate, and commit-create.
If you want community, you have to be community.
