"...I write almost by feel, like stacking up objects on a table, stepping back to assess how they look and feel in relation to each other, moving things around." Jennifer Wortman interviews Amy Stuber about Sad Grownups (Stillhouse Press). ➡️therumpus.net/2024/09/30/amy…

All I really know about the reading debate is I've never once regretted putting my phone away and reading a book (or for that matter *actually* watching a movie)

Seems relevant that on day there's chatter about kids no longer reading whole novels in school, we witness a debate in which commentators repeatedly assert that a man is obviously "intelligent" for lying with polish. If that's the definition, no need for critical reading skills.

Live now! To every time there is a season. Which is just a snotty way of saying, chill, you're fine. This is how it goes. Thank you Richard Mirabella🦌 for having a drink in the woods with me! Links etc in all the usual and expected places. #writing #writingpodcast #creativity

Me, even if I used AI: ""Write a novel about ... um ... something.""

It has arrived!! Amy Stuber 's brilliant collection of stories, SAD GROWNUPS. 🥹❤️

something feels off in the culture

Michelle Sanchez The Shit About Writing Podcast Yes!! I remember being in college and talking to my dear friend Richard Mirabella🦌 about how I couldn’t wait to find his book on the shelf in a bookshop and now it’s happened. I am so so proud of him. I want to hold him up high and shout to everyone. Look! Look! He is amazing!

BOOM!!!! November is coming! Vote out the GOP!

"Most of my best memories involve music..." Amy Stuber shared a playlist for her story collection Sad Grownups at David Gutowski largeheartedboy.com/2024/10/07/amy… Stillhouse Press

I do think this is an essential thing the AI bros will never understand

Woah, Han Kang!

some of you writers have it SO EASY. you can write AND you’re hot. some of us are only hot

It's weird that I forgot to mention Evie Wyld, and especially All The Birds, Singing, when people asked about books I thought about while writing my own. Anyway, she has a new book out!!!

Coming out can be a process, sometimes taking years or decades or a whole lifetime. Sometimes it's not safe to come out. Wherever you are in your journey, I wish you love, ease & self-acceptance 💗#NationalComingOutDay
