I stopped by your table! Great to meet you all. (Whew, though. Nothing could have prepared me for how overwhelming the Bookfair is.)

First timer here. Appreciate this thread.

Too embarrassed to share all the details, but I had a crazy anxiety dream about the #AWP last night involving spaghetti and @tacobellquarterly.org Please make it stop.

Me, trying not to doomscroll today. (Okay, not me. It's my cat, Harvey Milkstache, who is much better at blocking out the world than I am.)

Yay! I'm feeling so much more welcome already. Y'all are great. (Will The Notebooks Collective have a table?)

Ok! Will do. :) (This is my first AWP. I suspect I'm going to buy way too many books. 😁)

This is how you crush spirits. 😆

Ugh. I miss it AGAIN.

Happy Birthday from Harvey Milkstache

If you unlock some secret, let me know. I'll buy you coffee!

This!!! I had my finger hovering, cover letter written, 3 timers set, and...foiled again.

That crushed feeling when you've been sitting for 1 hour with your finger hovering on "Submit" to @havehashad.com and you click SEND the instant the clock strikes 12 EST, and immediately get the message (in red) "This opportunity has exceeded the submissions cap and is no longer available."

These LoTR takes are keeping me sane.

A picture of green jay feathers (Cyanocorax luxuosus). They are all lined up and organized: primaries, secondaries, coverts, tail feathers. Most of the feathers are gray with a green tip.

I just stumbled upon featherbase, a database of feather pictures from a bunch of bird species.🪶

*All* my posts & replies are gone right now.

I didn't keep count. Several dozen at least. Some memorable ones that surprised me:

Sheesh. This does not seem at all auspicious.
