If an article includes the name “Miss Tootsie,” I am so in. That it’s about Texas barbecue—and quotes Calvin Trillin on his journey there, all the better. I wonder if my Fort Worth cousins have been to these fine establishments... www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Fab time! Musicians are fun folks to hang with--especially when they are family too. In this case, "show of love" has a double meaning. See you soon, sweet fam! @mast-timconley.bsky.social

I'm spending the winter writing a passion project. It's a historical thriller (P.S. Not of this era, below). I don't know if it will ever see the light of day, but it will have everything I love: flawed characters, dark turns, lots of twists, and a satisfying ending. I know you'll love it too.

Director Jon M. Chu: "Despite people saying, 'Oh, you don't belong here," just be proud that you kept going." Even after 42 novels, I have imposter syndrome. I force myself to remember what I control: my author's voice, the spark of the story, how I shape it—and whether I complete it.

best clickbait: paintings, ergo auctions for the paintings of my favorite authors. René Magritte is one. (I just wrote one of his works into a novel I'm pitching) This one went for 120+mil! From the article, looks like he's in great company. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/a...
