Yay! The missing box of Velveteen books has been found!
Anti-yay! The box has been found, but all the books are gone!

...fuck everything.
So obviously those books won't be going on sale, and @borderlands_sf is going to have to wait for their full volume three re-stock. Also, if you're going to be at a con with me in the next few months, feel free to ping me via the website contact form...
...about buying a set from me directly. I can carry two per con (Worldcon is already spoken for), and need to hand-sell three to five in order to balance out the loss of this box (still trying to break even on the initial stock purchase).
Cons where I can hand-carry books:

Capricon
ECCC
Technically Superstars Writing Conference if you contact me NOW
(This would mean getting the books for cover price--so I believe $80 for the set of three, might be $85, might be $75, I'm in my pajamas and can't check--but without the cost of shipping.)

I'm awake and that's awful.
To make it clear for those not in my time zone: I'm awake at 3am, and that's what's awful about it.
In about :45, Mom and I will get into the car and begin creeping down the iced-over hill between us and the highway. If we reach the bottom, I go to Denver. If we end up in a ditch, I don't.

The best career advice I ever received--not writing advice, of which I have received roughly a metric shitton, but "how to survive as a working writer" advice--came from Todd McCaffrey the first time we met at a con.
I was a brand-new baby writer with stars in my eyes and ARCs (not even finished copies) of ROSEMARY AND RUE in my hot little hands. I gave him one to give to his mother (HE DID IT!!!) and asked if there was anything he wished he'd known.
"Yes," he said, with all the gravity of someone who'd been around long enough to have regrets. "Don't quit your day job until you're sure you can survive off of your royalties."

This is basajo, the nicest of the blue cheeses.

I will now eat it. With my face.
Basajo is aged in wine barrels, and topped with crushed sweet wine grapes.
It's good on its own, or with fruit and chicken.

short thread on books I have read, starting with sometime late 2017...
1. The Asshole Survival Guide. @work_matters's sequel to his blockbuster bestseller, "The No Asshole Rule". A depressing read when you realize how toxic some workplaces can be.
2."Black Money and Tax Havens", by Prof @rvaidya2000 - a short, breezy window into the world of black money. Again, a somewhat depressing read when you realize how weak the intent and how inconsequential the efforts into rooting out black money have been.
#books #ReviewInATweet
3. "Aadhaar: A Biometric History of India's 12-digit Revolution", by @ShankkarAiyar
Perhaps the first comprehensive account of Aadhaar's birth & its midwives. Insightful a/c into how the world's largest & most intrusive, privacy-destroying scheme came to life.

Cursed -Jikook Spooktober au where Jungkook gets hurt easily and Jimin, his over protective boyfriend, gets revenge by placing curses on those who hurt him but one of the curses rebounds onto Jimin and he has to keep it a secret from his bunny
TW: mention of death and possession and possibly blood depending on how the storyline goes. CONTINUE READING AT YOUR OWN RISK!
BEFORE THE STORY STARTS: there will be polls scattered throughout the story. Most will have a good choice and a bad one and others may be simple things like who the next character you want is.

1/ I’m very passionate about #books. Every opportunity I get I try to buy some more books for my #antilibrary. However, over the last year, I have changed how I read books. I’d like to share the short story and process in the following thread:
2/ Story: I felt like I was stagnating. I read a lot but I didn’t think I read well. I’d forget almost all of what I read besides a few key points in a fairly short period of time. Being in fields that require consistent learning, I felt I needed to change my approach.
3/ I also researched retainment of learning and found the Ebbinghaus Curve otherwise known as the Forgetting Curve: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgettin…

A partir de este momento, @adiplotti se pone a leer en compañía de Grimlock.
Obsérvese como Grimlock mira el libro con desconfianza.
Previously, on Tr*nscrepuscul*ar:

Recordemos que el libro anterior terminó cuando el Alguacil, ese semipersonaje que funcionaba como un títere del autor dentro de la ficción, se unió al títere vivo simbiótico conocido como el trapo.
