cats and new mexico weather

A discussion of rain barrels and winterizing, snow storms, and sweetening coffee. Then, more on point, how exposing your work to others too soon can result in shaken baby syndrome. Also, wonderful reviews on THE FATE OF THE TALA!

The review I mention is here (https://www.readingreality.net/2020/02/review-the-fate-of-the-tala-by-jeffe-kennedy/).

A bit about how the publishing industry can be weird: release dates, author copies, and being orphaned when an editor leaves. Also musings on whether angst is necessary for creativity and what choosing the happy means.

For those interested, here's Peter Senftleben's freelance editing website.

Talking today about inspiration and how it never feels like a person or visitor to me. Also progress on THE FATE OF THE TALA, and how drafting requires kicking the voices out of the room. Oh, and about The Boys!

Revisiting my (surprisingly) long career, with thoughts on art, audience, and "making it." Oh, and being multi-genre. Also dishing on Big Little Lies and Juliet, Naked. 

The quote I reference is: "When one's young one doesn't feel a part of it yet, the human condition; one does things because they are not for good; everything is a rehearsal. To be repeated ad lib, to be put right when the curtain goes up in earnest. One day you know that the curtain was up all the time. That was the performance." ~Sybille Bedford, from Walking on Alligators: a Book of Meditations for Writers, by Susan Shaughnessy

Thoughts today on giving yourself vacation days, and also how not actually writing can still be working on the book. A bit about water rights in the West, too, which is all part of what we offer here, along with cats and New Mexico weather. Some updates on my schedule heading to Los Angeles this week, and Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 4 spoilers after the 14 minute mark.
