haha we had enough enthusiasm to record videos about making a submissions manager for 3 days, we even thought this is gonna be a freaking MOVIE, but then we realized it’s too much work (and we also stopped working on the manager) sooo it’s fun! someday you’ll see them

Also if you think the videos are awkward Ill say you are missing out on a goldmine, this newsletter is great because its real so the videos would be the awesome documentary we need

To write or to die, what was the question?

“ … cried…”

Jinx!

when you mentioned what you will say in the interview it made me think of the words a wise web lurker once said “If you ever get to live to a hundred and someone asks how you did it, make up some bs “ For example “I only eat the banana peel” and then you’ll see all these people in scientific journals going on and off like with coffee

Re Kailey's Write or Die workshop naming conundrum:

WODcraft is too much like Witcraft (my mag) so I'd sue (but then you don't have any money anyway).

Inklings is an existing mag.

WOD sounds too much like a certain form of bodily fluid.

So some suggestions:

Not Dying, Writing

Writers Making Room

Meet, Write, Play

More power to your collective madness and delusions.

Is the Chill Subs sandwich recipe booklet in the works with Mariam's excellent illustrations? That could be an instant download [no shipping, as with a mug or tote-bag & no inventory] available for a "meaty" donation to Chill Subs.

My meatless chicken salad sandwich recipe could be your "bonus content," Ben.

Also a kitten-naming-rights donation....? :-)
