Remember that you are a living library of stories, and so you are more than just *one* story. Keep writing.

Influential Books: Dandelion Wine. While I love many books by Ray Bradbury, this one is my favorite.

Hey! If you'd like to read more of my ramblings about writing and art and life, I have a Patreon. And it DOES have a free option, because I'm not one of those people who only gives access if you pay. There are some cool perks if you do decide to invest, though! https://www.patreon.com/c/jendiagammon

Also I’m on LinkedIn too 😬 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jendia-gammon-232879281?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app

@cstross I'm in.

So @pluralistic has a really great thread on why Bluesky is NOT an ideal long-term social media home that addresses my concerns as well. Worth a read.

I have *one more* book deal to announce very soon, a standalone unrelated to those I've talked about. Not sure when that gets announced, but it'll be a trippy read.

Made my revisions for my donated short story, "The Dewdrop Bot and the Honey Fae," for the WNC Charity Anthology titled From Appalachia With Love: Sci-Fi Anthology. I really enjoyed writing this magical realism sci-fi and fantasy tale set high in the Blue Ridge, where a woman and her bot searching for honey encounter someone they didn't expect. Donate and help WNC recover from Hurricane Helene to receive your copy of the anthology: https://www.ncindieauthors.com/wnc-charity-anthology

Just got the nicest note from a friend who reminded me that, a couple of years ago, I was about to throw in the towel on the writing, but instead, I am taking charge. That kind of reminder really put things into perspective for me. Sometimes you DO have to write the narrative.

A vague idea is not a plan. True in all aspects of life and work.

By the way, my current books available to buy or for preorder are now part of my LinkTree, where you can find all my links for all sorts of things:

Welp. Queried! That was a pretty dang strong pitch. Wish me luck!

Shoutout to the tens--more likely, fives--of us in LA who are novelists and NOT screenwriters.

One of the topics I'll be covering in the near future is why cross-genre writing is a strength.

Unfortunately I'm under the weather, and so I've had to cancel my #SDCC appearance. I'm so sorry to miss everyone!
