I should not need to beg my publisher to let me know when they plan to do a BookBub deal or put my books on sale. Like, seriously, just set up an opt-in automated system that sends me an email when you schedule the deal. I price track my own fucking books…

Good news, everyone! An “Executive Editor at KENSINGTON PUBLISHING CORP” (capitalization theirs) is interested in my work! And sent their interest email from a gmail address, so you know it’s official. Should I send them all my money now or ???

The fridge lives! Well, its zombie-like corpse is at least shuffling along in the appropriate temperature zone this morning. We had to reset it again before bed, and cleaned the coils again, but now it seems to be alive? Hopefully at least until we can…

Grocery pickup later is like ice cream, ginger ale, frozen pizza, and cough drops. I don’t think they’ll need an expensive algorithm to intuit that House Mihalik is sick.

I am under four blankets (one doubled and two throws) only because that is the maximum number of readily available blankets. 😭 I think one more would be perfect, but I’m not leaving my warm cocoon to hunt for it.

We have to get new home insurance, and one of the questions is if we do anything that makes us “highly recognizable” and one of the examples is being an author. Y’all. I am not highly recognizable except in very specific situations, like my own book…

I have updated my to-do list. It has ten very important things on it. The shortest will take several hours and the longest will take a week or more. It’s a lot. A lot, a lot. Maybe I’ll become a hermit in the woods instead.

If your email opens with some ChatGPT slop rehashing my book’s blurb, I’m not reading past the first sentence, so you wasted all that water and electricity for nothing.
