Little reminder that if you need a book cover designed (or an interior or a whole book inside-and-out) I'd love to work with you! Check out my website, www.davidwojo.com, to check out my portfolio (and why not read a few of my poems while you're there?).

Check-in from a typesetter for a vanity press: thought this interior was done, but at the zero hour an author sent a corrections form because they want to add...::checks notes::...712 commas.

Being a freelancer is fun because you give a client 3 ways to pay you, but then they suggest a 4th way. Do you Venmo? Do you Cash? Do you Bill? Do you Spoinkle? Splash? MoneyMoney? $UM? SmartCash? PayNow?

Bygone era of no author websites so when you read something in a litmag you liked you at least had a few places to find more work by that person?

Greying Ghost apparently has "limited quantities" of my amazing chapbook available so maybe you should pick up a copy ($7.50?!) just in case no one ever publishes the full-length version?

I love a good list in a poem.

Oof - MS rejection for KIELBASA (my MS of ekphrastic prose poems written after 1960s-80s Polish animated shorts). Onward!

I bought my blu-ray player in 2010 and remember being so excited about it (immediately watched 2001: A Space Odyssey). It died last night, and it's wild that 15 years later it's difficult to find a new blu-ray player in stores cause of how much tech has changed...

Our anniversary strawberry crunch cake! We initially bonded over baking, so we decided to spend the majority of Sunday in the kitchen baking and it’s one of our best cakes yet. 🎂🎂🎂

Seriously. 81/19 was $5.79./lb and 4 days later it was $7.99. Are there really people out there who think things are better now than a year ago?

I read an interview recently where Olyphant was saying they knew that season 3 was their last season, but being the early days of streaming shows, they thought "yeah, well, let's see about that" and ended it in a cliffhanger thinking that would get them a 4th season.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.
