On making time for reading, even though we don't all have the same 24 hours in a day, and other thoughts on tracking books read and that 📀🐎, competition, scheduling our lives, and why audiobooks rock.

This is Michael Ulloa, Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach, who I follow on Instagram and really like for his practical advice and scathing debunking of "wellness" influencers. https://www.instagram.com/michaelulloapt/

BLADES, BOOKS, AND THE BANDIT is out in the world! I'm celebrating that and also looking back over the last ten years of being on the self-publishing endless hustle - and what it means to step off of that hamster wheel and let it get a little dusty.

What writing schedule works for you? I'm considering going to writing four days/week with a day for business - two days writing/business/two days writing or...? I'm also doing a deep dive into agents and busting a myth I loathe: that picking an agent is a till-death-do-us-part commitment.

I have finished copies of the NEVER THE ROSES trade paperback and the foil is so shiny! I have also finished BLADES, BOOKS, AND THE BANDIT, releasing a week from today!! I'm also talking publishing industry predictions and the "stuff they aren't telling you."

I'm off tomorrow to the Mountains and Plains Independent Booksellers Conference for a cameo appearance to talk to them. I'm almost done with BLADES, BOOKS, AND THE BANDIT. And I'm talking about authors being idiots on social media and making business decisions about what in-person events to attend. Also, a bit of transparency on my traditional publishing deals. Finally, Lexi Ryan's NIGHT TIDE is fantabulous!

The magic of habit-building and why I find my routines so helpful - and dealing with the chaos when they're disrupted! Also, the saga of Killian's brush with death. (Or so I was panicking would be the case, but he's okay!)

I'm back from Apollycon and cranking hard on Blades, Books, and the Bandit for the next two weeks. Also, how I've fallen in love with Mark Rothko and Project Hail Mary (Amaze Amaze Amaze!), a visit from Mary Robinette Kowal and Elsie, and continuing ruminations on multiple pen names.
