Disaster Reading for Disastrous Times

I'm stuck at home bored, like almost everyone else, so I thought I'd indulge in my favorite pastime and put together some reading lists! I see a lot of lists like this one on Electric Literature and Book Riot -- some of them really good, some of them just frankly a hodgepodge of books the … Continue reading Disaster Reading for Disastrous Times

Reading Journal: Beginning of April

It's been over a month since I've posted a reading journal update.

Here are some follow-up thoughts on my post about why writers should not write for free. Some readers may be wondering if I am saying that you should never write anything without getting paid for it.
