How am I just seeing this now? Anyway, I have heard it’s nerdy to post these, but I am not ashamed to say I’ve waited my whole writing life to have a PM deal report. I guess the word is officially out about this weird book coming out in September. Thanks so much to @santafewritersproject!

Great response to people who don’t read fiction

(from The Assistant by Bernard Malamud)

He asked her what book she was reading.
"The Idiot. Do you know it?"
"No. What's it about?"
"It's a novel."
"I'd rather read the truth," he said.
"It is the truth."

Childhood is the state of the soul inhabited by something to which no answer is ever given. It is led in its undertakings by an arrogant loyalty to this unknown guest to which it feels itself hostage.

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · May 7

A digital illustration in a colored pencil style. A drawing of a Polaroid SX-70, a foldable instant camera that some would say is one of the best cameras ever in history. It is silver and black with patches of brown fake leather on some of the body panels. It is unfolded into its characteristic mass of unlikely angles. The camera is set against a background rectangle filled with the colors filled with the colors of the Polaroid packaging rainbow. A photo is protruding from the camera and has developed to reveal only white letters on black reading ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’.
