I went looking for Nicholas Cage and found the @IntlSpyMuseum. MISSION FAIL.
But also: I rode a Lime scooter around the capitol singing the National Anthem, stars and stripe jacket flapping in the breeze, doing this second job, so also, mission accomplished. @USNatArchives

You're owed nothing in the publishing world—zilch. You could write an amazing book that nobody wants.
The brutality of the industry cleanses that inner monster telling you "I deserve this." That leads only to misery.
Instead, just do what you love, and get better at it.
Write
The final point I made in this past weekend's @scbwi presentation, and one I think I make in a lot of presentations, tbh, is this: You have no idea how close you are to achieving your goal, but if you give up now, you'll never get there. Keep going.
This. Was a blast.

Not kidding, I came face-to-butt with a skunk last night in my chicken coop. Didn't spray me, just annoyed at my intrusion on his makeshift home.
But also: 190th book? Behold this. Behold it. Congrats Dan!!!!!!!!!!!!
