So, does that mean that until you open the book it is in fact both read and unread? 🤔😜

tired wave at Masto

Whirlwind November. Don't know if I am coming or going. Got an article publication, an article acceptance (with minor revisions), and another article revisions required but prior to peer review. This on top of everything else + two medical appointments due. I'll clock in more regularly in December when I expect I will want to be more sloth-like. Wish me luck! 😬

ps: is also in do-or-die mode. Publication by December or bust!

I’m feeling like I’m hitting a wall right now with. It getting any early reviews for my upcoming book. Ok it’s more than no arc reviews. I’m not even getting emails back from multiple dozens of people I’ve reached out to. Many of whom have previously shown interest in my work and/or have reviewed a previous book. Long story short, if you’re a and currently accepting new please let me know @bookstodon

That little moment of joy when you look over the TOC proof a journal sent you and see you'll be in the same issue as someone whose work you love :) @writingcommunity

In case you're wondering when is coming out, I'm wondering too. 😕

I'm barely keeping my head above water here. I'm doing all I can to ensure I avoid the exit policy owing to no grants and no publications. But I'm informed it's if it's three years in a row. So hopefully next year will be okay given how much submitting I'm doing right now. At least admin (both my centre and Faculty) are really sympathetic and supportive of me and my health condition/disability situation.

It's the hardcoded rules that are 🙃 -- they've completely mechanised and gamefied work evals. Which makes it hard to concentrate on bringing out my debut novel -- but I tell myself it also counts as a publication for the system. At 0.05 marks. 🙃

On Writing: A Memoir Of The Craft - Stephen King - 2000 (pdfhost.io)

In the early nineties (it might have been 1992, but it’s hard to remember when you’re having a good time) I joined a rock-and-roll band composed mostly of writers. The Rock Bottom Remainders were the brainchild of Kathi Kamen Goldmark, a book publicist and musician from San Francisco. The group included Dave Barry on lead...
