Just watched SORCERER the 1977 Friedkin film released the week after STAR WARS for the 1st time. Hot DAMN. The storytelling and tension is *master class*. I want to read and write 50 essays about the craft. Brilliant.

I’ve been on bed rest following a big surgery and my story being published this week with the incredible Milk Candy Review has lifted my spirits dramatically! 💗

In today's Two Questions interview, we talk to the charming Janice Leadingham about her beautiful story:

Fast forward 10-20 years (assuming no apocalypse 😂) where will skilled knowledge workers come from? Corporations are eliminating entry level jobs and the cost of education is infeasible. Capitalism is a gold fish, only seeing immediate profit/loss and not long term consequences.

Discourse-neutral point: entry level jobs that seem low skilled can be the only feasible onramp to GAIN skills and advance. They may also be the only option to make a living. So, if we eliminate “easy” writing, editing etc jobs we need new onramps or we undermine the future. 🤷‍♂️

Are you a publisher or author that would like to see your AWESOME BOOKS in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association Nebula Conference 2024 book bags this June??? I am excited to coordinate those bags with the sponsorship team! Here’s a link with more:

I just heard this story was chosen for Best Small Fictions and I keep waiting for an email to tell me that it was an accident. Just in case it is really real, thank you so much Meagan Lucas for seeing something in this love letter to Appalachia ! ❤️
