The lowercase cursive m is so badass. You start it and just keep swooping and swooping and swooping. I enjoy it every goddamn time.

If I ever taught a seminar on narrative voice I think I'd start it off by making everyone read Junie B. Jones. Going through the whole series with my daughter these days and they're making a lot of other ( grownup) stuff I'm reading seem kinda boring.

In every novel I've written, there's always been a point where I'm like, "I think this should actually be a sorta of a half-comic book, half-fairy tale thing" and I get pretty excited about that and eventually give it up and write a regular novel.

The first act of the Corbomite Maneuver's got some of the best Kirk/Bones dialogue out there. I think that's one of the first episodes in TOS where it really seems like two real people taking to each other.

Losing a nephew and a dear friend to cancer in the past year has sent an important message into my life. I want to share it with you. You don't have the time you think you have. Do the thing.
