I just left a phone message with my Democratic Senator, urging him to stand behind Kamala Harris for president and to oppose any effort to choose a different candidate. Please, Dem folks, do the same.

All my friends here who write SFF, you know about the Speculative Literature Foundation grants, don't you? Right now, they are accepting proposals for "diverse writers" and "diverse worlds" grants of $500 each, but there are also grants for older writers and working class writers, and a travel grant.

Writer's block today is literal. There is a cat standing in front of the computer monitor, blocking me from seeing what I am doing. Her body is blocking the keyboard. If I move her, she returns in a few minutes. If I put her out of the room, she cries at the door. Sigh.

A photo from my walk sometime last week. #SilentSunday

My next door neighbor just drove up with his car full of shopping bags from the mall. It's really true that men don't shop until the last minute, isn't it?

Since my post was apparently wrong, I deleted it.

@peachfront @notTheAudience @herhandsmyhands

Whoops. My bad. Thank you for correcting me.

@peachfront @notTheAudience @herhandsmyhands

Okay. But it's my understanding that for the 70% royalty rate you must sell only on Amazon. Am I wrong about that?

@notTheAudience @herhandsmyhands

To get the 70% rate you must only sell your books on Amazon. If you list them for sale somewhere else, the rate is 35%. My royalty rate has not changed, and I wonder if the authors who have seen changes are selling their books on another site (or Amazon thinks they are).
