It’s been a rough few days, but I’m back to talk about agents being people, too, still addressing ADD and productivity (I’m seriously considering writing a LARPing a responsible human blog series), and how to handle an editor who doesn’t use Track Changes. (Wha?)

I’ve had a few bad days and am still dedicated to streaming on time, so I talk about what’s making me mad (because it does affect my creative pursuits.) I bet Terry Gross doesn’t bring her angst to her show…

By the way, the Murverse newsletter is no more. I kinda did a rage-quit this morning.

It’s never one thing, it’s a cascade of suck, constant mayhem
And I knew today was gonna go from bad to goddamn

I’m not a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes stories, but Doyle did one thing Christie didn’t: he made a brilliant sleuth and then gave him an antagonist just as smart.
