I often fear I will not pass the “I am not a robot” test on websites. I mean are those taxis, or just cars? Crosswalks or just streets?

Part of every publishing course/internship/apprenticeship should be the exercise of writing something, pouring your whole being into it, sending it out to publishers of various sorts, and waiting in patient terror to see what happens. Keeps us honest.

One day I looked out my office window in New Haven and just happened to see Marilynne Robinson walking along slowly, going nowhere, headed tilted up, communing with the sky. Each time I grab for my phone while walking, I think of how far I fall short of Marilynne Robinson.

One of the earliest (1200’s) recorded accounts of inter-religious dialogue: “When it was all over, the Nestorians and Saracens alike sang in loud voices, while the tuins [Buddhists] remained silent; and after that everyone drank heavily.”pic.twitter.com/OU8shlYcqf

I’ve long wanted to acquire/read a book called How To Write. But instead of talking about commas etc it would narrate the strange, terrible, inspiring, superstitious, destructive, mundane things authors do to get themselves to write. Examples please, from your life, or others.

David Bentley Hart’s op-ed on hell in
@nytimes based on his@yalepress book generated so much interest that they’ve published a series of letters in response. On fiery domains, sunny universalism, and our darkest inclinations.https://nyti.ms/2tJeaP8Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
It seems a conversation worth having, given its pervasiveness and the demands of social media on authors’ lives? I realize the wind is blowing in another direction... but what do those winds leave behind? Some editors may have very different thoughts here.

Editor’s observation: An author’s Twitter presence and their book sales (crude metrics both, of any human worth) seem to have no correlation. If anything, from where I stand, it’s an inverse correlation. You can’t serve two masters?
