Also, if Ted Chiang spoke to me I would probably pass out. You look remarkably composed!

Wait... he used AI to "prove" that his shitty fake query got no action and that somehow means agents don't read? This is the stupidest thing in the world.

Do not give up your ability to reason.
Do not give away your need to struggle.
Do not atrophy your capacity to decide.
Do not confuse efficiency for goodness.
Do not monochrome the colors of your voice.
Do not devalue your body.
Do not hand over your mind.
Do not make a machine a god.

Something I love about older women is how they are relentlessly and adorably on theme. Is it fall? She's going with the pumpkin sweatshirt. Home team playing on TV tonight? Packers pin is on and prominent. Valentine's Day? You best believe she's wearing pink and red.

The novel I am currently querying grapples with these ideas. I wrote most of it on a typewriter. #amquerying

Y'all have no idea how much self-control it is taking to not let my Jurassic Park meme game to eke out onto the Bluesky account. But do rest assured, I am having a Jurassic July.

I dare you to write a piece with a structure inspired by nature. Snail shell template. Fiddlehead template. Birch bark template. Wasp nest template.

In 2019, I was forever changed by hearing the luminous Andrea Gibson perform in a little theater in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Rest in peace, bright bright soul. ✨️

I absolutely love this. There is huge value in the chaotic happenstance of ideas and literary voice as one part life experience, two parts brazen human confidence. I hope you'll watch for my literary query that responds intentionally to the pervasive knell of AI. It will not take us! :)
