Don’t know how many of you will see this, but I urge you to find another SM home. I get that folks need to check for breaking news, weather. I haven’t closed my account. But realize: you aren’t immune to propaganda on here. Yes, you. And me! Time spent here= radicalization

Being a writer is rather like being a medieval merchant. You dispatch your manuscript, and it will be a year and more before you know the outcome. Will your argosy bring home riches? Disappear without trace? Return, but in disarray? One thing is certain, pirates will attack …

If Oscar Wilde was around these days he wouldn’t be exhausted from a day of putting in/taking out commas (or the other way around), he would be shattered from trying to keep up posting on eleventy billion different social media platforms.

This happened to a friend of mine called Fergus, whose flatmate spent months secretly photographing himself dressed up in Ferg’s clothes, sitting in his favoured positions, reading his favourite books etc. for a massive collage project called "Being Fergus"

When I was in college, I started collecting Anchor and Doubleday paperbacks that Edward Gorey designed. It was an incredibly cheap little used bookstore treasure hunt to always be on. I'm going to thread a few of my favorites in honor of Anchor.
