#WriterSky I just got an interesting way for an agent to reject my query:
"Congratulations on your offer of representation!" (Hasn't happened.)
"Thank you for letting me know. I'll go ahead and step aside." (Uh, okay.)

Today's book progress: Currently working on the chapter on Maimonides' life in Cairo. Deleted two pages, rearranged a section, decided to switch the order of this chapter and the one that came after it, wrote one sentence, and added a [MORE HERE]. I feel like I accomplished nothing. #perplexed
I don't know how to make short term goal projects. All my ideas will take years of development. How do y'all come up with quick stuff? #perplexed

#Indian leaders and officials have repeatedly expressed being #perplexed or #confused by recent #tariff & #trade actions taken by #Trump administration. The sentiment emerged in Aug'25 following a series of measures & escalating rhetoric from the U.S. that have caused strain on bilateral relations.
Sabbatical wrap-up post: 38,362 words written. First draft of 8/9 chapters of the Maimonides bio completed. Still have lots of tidying up, addition, and revision to do this fall. Not… really ready to stop working on this full-time and go back to teaching. #amwriting #perplexed
From outside your country looking in at what is happening to the US, this is what the rest of the world thinks about how far into fascism the orange buffoon has been allowed to take the country to. 🦧🟠 #PERPLEXED with a large tinge of alarm.

Working on the philosophy chapter, which means puttering around the apartment muttering things like “I can’t find the first volume of my Pines.” #iykyk #perplexed
It’s kind of wild to go back to the parts of the book-in-progress that you wrote over two years ago and realize that you’re actually not in nearly as bad a shape with it as you feared and misremembered. #perplexed #amwriting
So I don’t understand sites that show a pop up not letting me read the ad you put into my feed because I have an ad blocker. You baited me with a #paywalled post, served me the content and paid for the #CDN, but then don’t let me read the article. You aren’t going to convince me to pay for a […]
And why was Joe Biden not able to continue as president, but this is A-OK? #Perplexed

Writing’s going great, thanks. #perplexed
I don't want to jinx it but I think I'm actually in decent shape for the talk I'm giving next month. Nowhere close to done, but know what I'm doing/where I'm going with it and plenty of time left to write, revise, and practice. #perplexed
Really seems so obvious… #perplexed
What the hell is with Gretchen Whitmer?

Not getting a lot of writing done today so going to spend the rest of my work time reading. #perplexed
A powerpoint slide. White background with some gray circles and an orange pull-quote shaped square on the left. Two icons for two podcasts: The one for "Cup of Justice" is gray and is looking down into a cup of coffee with the statue of blind justice as a design in the foam. The one for "Something Was Wrong" is cotton candy pink with just the name of the podcast in a bold sans serif font. The text on the slide reads: “Make this the most you thing you can. — Tiffany Reese, as interviewed by Mandy Matney, on starting a true-crime podcast in an oversaturated market"
This slide is extremely unlikely to stay in the deck for my talk on leaning into authorial voice in writing about Maimonides, so I'm just sharing it here instead. #perplexed
Farmer from Texas: “I can see how some tariffs might help us compete with Mexico, but are we really getting targeted by every other country or are we on the wrong side of this?” he wondered.
Answer - yes. #perplexed

Today begins the hard part: the philosophy chapter of the Maimonides biography, an undertaking that is probably every bit as ridiculous and implausible as it sounds. It’s like that one time I tried to write a one-paragraph précis of Don Quijote. #perplexed
