Of all the illnesses going around this winter Mono was not the one I thought I would get. But you know I am was always old school cool.

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

Realizing your cat is having the time of their life playing with a huge (and luckily dead) cockroach is not how I like starting my day…

On Trying (and Really Failing) to Design My Own Book Cover Book covers are famously tough. Before my book The Bond King was published, I’d read award-winning book designer Na Kim’s account of designing for Jeffrey Eugenides’ book, describing it as a multi-…

This article is funny and well-written! Thank you for appreciating your cover designers!

It also means you are more frustrated when you make dinner plans two months ago on the one day you and your friend are both available, only for them to bail at the last minute because they have ten other events that week and are burned out.

I am far from perfect at it but I find that I am more present at the things I do go to. When you have 3+ plans in a weekend you can’t be mentally there for all of them.

Something I have been working on for the past year is slowing down and being very intentional about how I spend my time and leaving breathing space to reset and recharge. Even if it means saying no to something and missing out.

One of the most frustrating things about living in NYC is every single person in your life is that friend who over books themselves all the time. This includes myself.

Twitter was never my main social media format. I keep trying to switch to Bluesky but the way it works still feels weird to me. I need to get off Meta though.

I just heard about this! So scary!

Well… here we are now and it’s horrible.

It was shocking and hurt hearing the rumors as I started working my way up in publishing. Nothing concrete. All second/third/fourth hand knowledge. Look out for the missing step. “Keep your young female publicists and editorial assistants from being alone with him.”

I so admired this man in college. I met him at a talk about Mirror Mask when it came out. I remember being so star struck I could barely squeak out my request for him to sign my sketch book. “Dream Dangerously,” he wrote. I cherished that signature, hung it on my wall.

There Is No Safe Word How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

I wish I could say I am surprised.

One moment you are gathering materials to construct an eyeball monster and instead find yourself googling Mycenaean Linear B….

I relate to this so hard but with visual art.

Thank you! I am still being awesome. I hope you are also still being awesome!

The car trunk. The land where chores and errands go to live out of place and out of mind. A schrodinger's box unfinished intentions. Never to be brought out of limbo of uncompleted shame. Only merely shuffled back and forth from car to home and back again.

For the record I probably think about the Roman Empire every week.

I have made it here. To the place. Doing the thing.
