This episode was recorded on 8/12/26, when we found a day in the middle of our hiatus to connect, and we thought we'd be posting it sooner but then we didn't.

We talk about if and what we've been writing, check in with what the publishing industry is up to when it come to A.I. (it's not good!) and how that impacts the magic of the process, and have an extended Margin Notes section.

Some of Them Margin Notes:

• Obsession, a movie
• Valley of the Dolls & Call Me Anna
• Rehab: An American Scandal by Shoshana Walter
• The Fountain by Casey Scieszka
• We Burn Daylight by Bret Anthony Johnston
• Maddie's Secret, a movie
• Fellowship Point by Alice Elliott Dark
• North by Northwest, the play
