I wrote about the best 2 nights of my whole dumb life, working with Prince, and being part of Warren Ellis's school of revelry via tangible emblems for Paste Magazine. Thanks Hurley Winkler for the first draft help and matt for their enthusiasm!

“It all started with an email to my boss, Zooey Deschanel. Prince said he loved ‘New Girl’ and wanted to be on it. We were sure it was a prank.”

Ohhhhh my god you only refer to movies as 'films'? should we tell everyone? Should we throw a party? should we invite hal hartley

Absolutely loving this series about the finances of writers from Dirt and Literary Hub. The more transparency about financial issues, the better it is for all of us! With shared knowledge we have more realistic expectations, are better positioned to negotiate, etc.

Can’t wait to chat with the Heretics Club tomorrow night about being a first time author! Sign up here to join us: buff.ly/49EyLSr

Just remembered I insomnia-bought this incredible set at 3am last night

Sometimes I forget about the Radar Brothers, and that's on me.

One of the best things about living in New York is seeing preschoolers out for a field trip, all wearing high-vis vests and connected to each other with a rope, just a little cuteness caterpillar chatting in their squeaky little voices 🥹

Still catching up on emails and DMs from December, how does anyone ever stay on top of this

Book mail in fraternal twin mailers from Kristen Felicetti and danielle chelosky!

I am happy for, but also don't relate to, people who have cute little quiet mornings. Do you not wake up screaming from a night terror, covered in sweat, and then find fraud alert messages from your bank on your phone?

'Funny how a life in the eyes of others can be distilled down to such a limited number of details.'

Still reeling over the excerpt from Shelby Hinte's upcoming novel HOWLING WOMEN! (Coming from LEFTOVER Books next year)

i should know

Watched as my 90something year old neighbor slowly made it to the sidewalk using his walker, put on his eclipse glasses, looked up, and gasped 'Oh! Oh! Oh, it's so beautiful!' 😭😭😭

When I say you’re not ready for this utter genius and hilarity from D.T. Robbins House of Vlad Press!!! So fucking funny, so moving, such an incredible ride. Congrats, DT!!!

Was surprised by how many people I know traveling to view the eclipse, then realized they’re all poets

This is the way! Thank god for Bud Smith.

I've never actually met or interacted with my literary nemesis, btw. I just think they're unnecessarily exclusionary and mean. 😇
