The Digest: Happy fourth anniversary to this newsletter

I celebrated by giving my novel liposuction. (April 15, 2025)

I run loads of laundry and clean Q’s apartment on Tuesdays and Fridays, and last Tuesday, I carried my laptop in my bag. The bag is too heavy. It tweaks my shoulders. It reminds me I’m near (...at) an age for back pain. Or, worse, an age where I talk about back pain.

My novel-in-progress, Dream Big, Inc., had neared the 300-page mark. I’ve never written 300 pages of anything before.

Seeing my excessive word count makes me feel like Adam Scott in Severance …

…but when I finally have to read these thousands of words, I’ll discover I was Adam Scott in Parks and Rec the whole time.
