Unsolicited writing advice, no. 12: However good your work is, there will be people who hate it. This is an inescapable part of having readers. Live with it. Accept it. And know that for every person who doesn’t like your work, there may be another whose life has been changed by something you wrote.

Throwback to when The Nightmare Box and Other Stories scored a spot on NPR's best books of 2024 list. I agree with Alex Brown in their review: the title story of this collection is a masterpiece. A brilliant tale of dark magic, radical history, and moral reckoning. apps.npr.org/best-books/#...

Periodic reminder:Substack profits off Nazi pages bc they don't want to be "in the censorship business,"but they also won't host adult content,so they ARE in the "censorship business." They just think Nazis are better than pornographers. This is why I will never give Substack a single shiny nickel.
