Hello. I'm relaunching the newsletter. I'd love it if y'all subscribed. All the content will be free, but there's a paid tier where I'll do monthly Q+As and stuff.
Turns out, after all this time, publishing is still hard.

you ever crack open a book, read the first page, and it's so good you close it because you know in order to read the rest you need to be in a space free of distractions, uninterrupted, for at least six to twelve hours?
what's the last book you read that did that to you?

Finally listened to Season 17, Episode 51 of @WritingExcuses and @dongwon spoke a deep truth.
"Sometimes, when we’re working, we’re taking things out of the tank and forget to put things back in the tank."
Thanks for the reminder.

With this, the Road to PALISADE comes to an end. As a reminder, these arcs get brand new intros for the main feed release--and this is a pretty big one for PARTIZAN fans. And also: There's a new outro in the final 7~ minutes that sets the stage for what's next.

art friends! I am trying to recall the name/artist of a famous painting and google is... not helping.
it's a large painting, abstract, blue with a white pattern almost like river rocks. it's hanging in a major contemporary art museum in a stairwell. MOMA or LACMA?

Shout out to and all of . Having on as host has given a new voice to the show and I really appreciate having that new lens. We mostly only hear about that side of the fence from other writers. It’s a nice perspective to have access to.
