For the purposes of this debate, I shall consider Separation Sunday as one song in its entirety.

Find us at the book fair, table 413!

23 seconds is some "trying out for the varsity team" effort, man.

Happy Friday, #NotAtAWP26! I'll be signing my book* at booth #7,842** until 3:00***!

white supremacy.

I’m doing a reading tonight, which will be my first time reading in public since I did the benefit reading for the survivors of my previous reading.

I mean, I've always assumed as much, but thank you for confirming.

I didn't get to watch hardly any of tonight's game, but I think this sums up the recent losses.

Sass's problems are all a result of not getting playing time for the last three months...

Comes up with surprising frequency at the Nobis dinner table…

UGH

Whoa buddy did you ever just summarize my writing life....

I don't care too much if it's a loss if the team learns a lot from it. If one lesson learned is that we need more shooters on the floor more often, so be it.

So am I to assume that, keep in mind I'm tuning in late, Kevin Huerter finally getting minutes is JB freaking out, or part of some newfound strategy?

Okay, so the @notatawp.bsky.social reading was a big win, and the Pistons game any second now will turn into one of the franchise's best come from behind wins of all time (haha, right? RIGHT?!) so while we're at it, how about someone in a hotel bar in Baltimore lands my novel and an agent?

In pure NAWP mode, I had to run upstairs immediately afterward to do dishes, help my 11-year-old get to bed, walk the dog, and more, but man oh man were all of these writers tonight fantastic! What a welcome respite from the daily horrors.

[Finally turns the game on right in time to see Beef Stew hit a 3 to cut the deficit to 12]

So you're saying there's a chance…

YUP. 100% agree, and apparently I've been shouting about it because someone said that on Facebook, and I replied something along the lines of I've been saying that for months now, to which my wife replied and said "You’ve been saying it for a few years now, actually."

Ha, it's a new generation, man!

Ha, it's a new generation, man!

At what point does this "better without your all-star" thing get named The Trae Young Effect?

The Pistons play the Spurs at this time, so do you all know how much this means I love my writing community? When people say "writing requires sacrifice," this is a top-10 example. :-)

Pistons in 6 in '26. 🤘🏼

You said the quiet part... [notices the parentheses]...quiet.
