@brian_gettler@mas.toIt's only Thursday morning and I've already had what's probably the most intense and productive week of writing since the home-stretch of my dissertation almost 15 years ago.
I basically wrote the entire first draft - and not a super drafty draft, at that - of what I'm thinking will be the second chapter in my next book.
I'm feeling great.

@nemorosa@mastodon.nu#PennedPossibilities 683 — Can you describe a memorable interaction you’ve had with a reader about either your current or past WIP / book?
A group of children drew pictures in class after hearing an excerpt from one of my texts.
I have those saved, I was stunned. Kids, like 9–10 years old, liked something I wrote enough to actually draw images to match?
I am honoured!…
@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaWhen the family calls me a tankie, I just drop Rudolf Rocker’s black-and-red flag and remind them: Rocker spent his life critiquing both state capitalism and authoritarian socialism, he literally wrote book's on why real liberation means smashing all forms of state power, not trading one boss for another.
