What I learned at work today: there is a town in Illinois called Odin. And @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com didn't include it in American Gods. An opportunity of some sort missed in some way. #reading

The Great Gatsby. An excellent example of what the cool kids are calling "a complex platonic friend dynamic." Writer buddies, check it out. Agents want this sort of dynamic. #writing

I'm not sure I want to finish Catch-22, the Richard Heller book. Is the ending worth it? Or has he made his point by the halfway mark? #books

Such a cool way to think about giving critiques (written for writers, but applies to all aspects of life, I think!), from Oliver Blakemore (@oliverstoryteller.bsky.social) on the @rmfwriters.bsky.social blog: rmfw.org/positive-fee... #IAmRMFW #writingcommunity

This is what I'm listening to today. I love a good genre-blend. This is more of a genre bar fight, between EDM and metal. But I think they'll make up in the end. open.spotify.com/album/6WxzOI...

Listening to this today too. It's time-traveling German metal. Feels like it's put together by Germans who were alive a thousand years ago and still are. #metal open.spotify.com/album/76B0t3...

This book described badly: and lo, a symphony of errors attacked the event management committee! And thereupon a battle raged over legal terms! Really fun book. It both celebrates and lampoons the best of high fantasy. Worth the headspace. #dianawynnejones #fantasybook #bookreview #whattoread

Listening to this today. Delivers on the cover art. It sounds like a choir of big-bearded monks collaborating with a black metal band with a Nazgul for a lead singer. Worth the headspace. open.spotify.com/track/7pY4iC...

Listening to this today. It's sort of like the band set out to make fun of metal, put a lot of energy into making that work, and forgot about the making fun of it part. open.spotify.com/album/3yo5jI...

This book described badly: how to get your stubborn boyfriend to visit the doctor. Definitely worth the headspace. Natasha Pulley is a good writer. #natashapulley @natashapulley.bsky.social #fantasy #bookreview #stories #beautifulbooks #whattoread #historicalfiction
