The very first publisher I worked for, a couple of years before I started there, published MR DARCY TAKES A WIFE and somewhere in boxes of books I still have a ARC for Darcy and Elizabeth. And if you live in Chicago, go and visit Goblin Market!

I paused my podcast to read the comments and Quoted posts wrt S&S no longer requiring blurbs. Having spent over half my life in books (selling and pubbing) blurbs I'm torn on the decision and there are a lot of good /interesting thoughts. This thread hits on a lot of my feelings too

I am cleaning up the bird app some tonight and I have absolutely had tears more than once -- almost 2 decades of my life have been chronicled there, and change can be a good thing and all that, but honestly in this moment, it kinda blows. But here we go.

One thing I try to remember in really chaotic times is that it’s always possible I will be forced, not on my own timetable, into a new chapter of my life. But that has happened before, and it has not always been bad.

I wasn't posting over at other site as much, and to be honest I will probably still be over there and go down completely with the ship but I'll be over here as well and hopefully posting more. Just kinda reviving this now/here with no plans yet
