Yes, thanks @madamehardy.bsky.social . Those popped up within days of US publication ā the presumption that, maybe, the book would be assigned for a classroom (hasnāt been, as far as I know!) In any case, one of the many AI summaries of many books out there.
Looking forward to being back at RSA with the Kraken-wrestling @drsurekhadavies.bsky.social@tamaraw.bsky.social@rentravailer.bsky.social.
Writing as Kraken-wrestling, history in the public sphere, & a roundtable with Farah Bazzi, @leahredmondchang.bsky.social, @rentravailer.bsky.social, @tamaraw.bsky.social at the Renaissance Society of America conference! šļø #earlymodern open.substack.com/pub/surekhad...
Deep in the weeds of chapter revisions, but looking ahead to talks in Chicago and Toronto.
Wow! Will be checking this one out...
This looks amazing! And maybe Iāll stop all this writing nonsense and open something similarā¦ what a fabulous place.

Good thoughts here from @austinkleon.bsky.social on the different forms of writer's block. Personally, When I can't move the work forward, it's usually because I don't know enough. Or don't know the right things. austinkleon.com/2023/08/24/w...
Lauren Groff and Joy Williams on block.
New podcast episode! Today Iām talking with Yunte Huang about his fabulous new biography of Anna May Wong. Anna Mayās story intersects with American and world history in so many ways, which Yunte explains. She was also a once in a generation talent and beauty. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/v...
Normal thoughts! But thoughts to let flow, acknowledge, and then move pastā¦.
This happened yesterday, and I am thrilled! And very grateful to the all who have helped get the queens out there!
The other thing that really helps me when I'm writing is something I learned from @jovanevery.bsky.social, which is to ask every time I sit down to work, not "how will I ever get this done?" but "what can I do today to move this project forward?"
