Recently heard this story narrated on TAL, and I had to look it up. It's easily one of the best stories I've read this year. www.mit.edu/people/dpoli...

December will always feel summery to me, a Nairobian, despite what the dreary British weather might be trying to throw up

'Game of Thrones' has the same issue so much hackneyed fantasy, comic, and sci-fi storytelling has with female rage: A woman, having acquired power, is "too unstable" to responsibly weild that power and must be put down. By a man.

Publisher: Do you want to put an LLM clause in the copyright statement?
Me: Definitely. How specific can we get?

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.

I actually quite liked the Invisible life of Addie LaRue, though I demand justice for Luc. The thing I found interesting was how in 300 years, she only visits a handful of countries in Western Europe and the US. It's the world tour version of cursed immortals.
