I cannot overstate how revelatory I found Liz Moore being willing to talk about her regrets over the way she wrote the fat character in her second novel. To see a writer at this level acknowledge harm caused. Plus her thoughts on plot changed everything for me open.substack.com/pub/emmacopl...?

Question for the parental pals: is there a best/better time of year as a mom/parent to leave your kid for a week for a writing retreat? Or times to avoid? I’m guessing not summer…

I am the only person on the planet I guess who thinks Severance the TV show is…not good? I just don’t understand it’s appeal! Feels so cold and lifeless to me with poorly developed characters

Here are my favorite reads of 2024. I would also include the Kafka I read this year, but I'll probably make a post just about that sickly little complainer soon. I read so many knockouts this year. It was such a comfort. I love books. Thank you to all these fabulous writers.
