    It's officially February 1st! Thus begins Black History Month. Except every month should be Black History Month. If you aren't Black, you should think about & be grateful for the many contributions Black inventors, thinkers, and creators have made to the world.

    I think about how thrilled my student was to read TRISTAN STRONG PUNCHES A HOLE IN THE SKY, and then how thrilled my son's 4th grade teacher was reading the same book. My student is Jamaican-Chinese and my son's teacher is Black. They're hungry for more.

    Writer: I desperately want to finish my book. More than anything. More than I want coffee, or sleep, or love and affection Person: shouldn’t you be working on it then? Writer, pausing while reorganizing their refrigerator: how dare you

    OK, after Flatiron's & B&N's fiascos, it's time to back a positive POC project. "Where the Veil is Thin" is an antho. I'm in: I wrote a Spanish CYOA-style story-game for it! The TOC is brimming w/ POC! Let's support a small publisher doing the real work.

    1. Capitalize the B in Black outside Black History Month 2. You could have had new covers designed for novels written by Black authors, all limited edition, bringing light and attention to oft-overlooked books, but you chose not to go that route. I wonder why.

    other famous 2-act operas: don giovanni, faust, norma, die zauberflote, and - i will argue this A LOT because of this giant break in the middle - carmen.

    i remember the joy of writing a novella with the dramatic structure of Tosca in mind. so i'll think a lot about cosi while i finish revisions on this. what's next? (i want a der rosenkavalier, but that's an opera in 3.)

    i thought music wouldn't be informing how i wrote this, but i was wrong. i'm thrilled, really. i love writing with opera in mind.

    i love the dual-act structure because i've been around opera for so much of my life. one of my favorites, cosi fan tutte, is an opera in 2. and i realized, after looking at the structure for 2-act plays, that this novel is that: in 2 acts, with a huge mid-point break.

    more specifically, structure was an issue until i capitulated and went whole hog for the 2-act structure, which was what i was doing originally. now it's tighter than a bull's ass at fly time. fuck yeah.
