Thank you Sir, I will get to that email in a couple of hours I hope. Right now I am having my coffee ritual.
Unless you're one of those people who needs complete control, most authors that I know just go with squarespace. Even authors who know how to code. Like authors who have computer science degrees they just have squarespace author websites. Blake Butler went to MIT and he ostensibly started one of the first early 2000s experimental literary blogs called HTML giant. His personal website is a squarespace website. They're relatively cheap. They're easy. They merged with Google domains so you can just park all your domains there as well. So unless you're running your own server or you really really like WordPress. That's my personal suggestion.. but I used to make squarespace sites for money so you know there's that as well.
I am glad to hear you are getting you and yours out. Did you check the "culture" tab? We were trying to get you up there along with the "fiction" tab.
I'm excited for my guest post dropping on Thaddeous Thomas' pub championing a writer on Saturday (a little bit of theater in there, as I can't help myself).
Thank you for the story shout-out. The Donners died mad too.
Oh my God thank you. It was the place that I had the best feelings about after viewing. Ironically, on the day that I saw like six or seven apartments in one day and fried my brain it was also the first. Go figure.
We will be moving in Lord willing and the creek don't rise on March 21st. And as they say now comes the hard part.
Well okay. The hardest part is overbilled like now comes that grind where you have to take your entire life cut parts of it down. Cut parts of it off and wrap it in honeycomb waffle wrapping paper which is apparently the go-to item of choice for packing to move all of your breakables, + have them stuffed into a truck and driven about 10 minutes away.
Actually that's a vast overstatement. I'm moving 5 minutes away from my house. To say that we were lucky is a vast overstatement. So thank you. It's still looking pretty gnarly in here but at least there's a goal and hope and I can conceive of a future now.
Oscar should be published somewhere in print and paid. Now there are subs actually a lot of authors on here I would say that about. But in specific he has a very whole voice that I believe would be very sellable on the market like yesterday. I'm excited for a bunch of stuff I'm working on too and hell now. I'm excited for your zine.
You know what I love about you. You know exactly when to drop a single word comment, which means that you understand brevity much better than me. But I know exactly how excited you can get when you talk, which is the funny part. So every time I see one of your one word comments. I take it out of a snippet of larger commentary running through my brain and set it aside like a sample and then I just play it.
And with that mixed accent you have, cuz you sound like you are from New York, Detroit and Mississippi all at the same, and since everyone in my household has heard your voice because of back atcha etc etc. I can tell you everyone picked those exact three places out as being your accent. Which I thought was pretty cool. it's actually a really nice thing to wake up to in the morning.
This post is amazing in four different ways, bravo. So glad the new place is good, and I hope the move goes smoothly.
Just a quick update on my/our project - I’ve decided to push crowdfunding to June so I can give it my best shot. Sent you an email with basic details, but the key thing is that I don’t need the chapter one revision urgently. Feel free to set it aside and tackle other work, I’m busy trying to wrangle an author website into existence anyways.
You exhaust me. But in a good way. I’m exhausted anyway, but your exhaustion is exhilarating. Things are bubbling. I even have plans, and I’m not the best planner when it comes to writing. I plan the crap out of the rest of my life. I write every day, but I don’t plan. This feels… different.
No shade for a missed week. Life has thrown stuff at you. Sometimes you need to just take a moment.
Thanks for sharing this

ugh I feel ya, I'm in the process of moving after some landlord dust ups as well. godspeed my friend
Godspeed to you too. May the odds ever be in our favor? I guess.
I’m excited for a project I’m working on with three other authors — a zine. It’s gonna be great. Also, thanks for putting me on to Oscar — good stuff.

Thank you very much. But taking moments is against my religion. I've taken 39 years.
