This is the final days of Hugo voting. I would be honored if you voted for me for Best Fan Writer. Not because of what happened in Chengdu, but because I think my oeuvre & output make me worthy. I also think our team's work at @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social is worthy. www.patreon.com/posts/2024-h...

Hey wow as someone with a stutter y’all are not kind At all Do you know what happens when you have the kind of stutter where you swap words? Your brain makes an association in a split second and you go “no, not that”, especially when nervous, and it just blorts out of your mouth.

I love Joyce Chng's writing and even in sadness and loss, this one is really compelling - it felt like a storyteller's invitation to let go into a story, release some anger together, and then carry on. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Writers: Challenge the agreement/contract that your publishers present you with. They'll start off saying this is our contract, take it or leave it, but it's negotiable. Every contract is. 'Boilerplate' means this is where you start, not where you finish. And learn what 'subsidiary rights' means.
