@shelflifebooks @lizharmer @KnopfCA How was the worldbuilding process similar or different for Strange Loops, compared to your previous novels?

‘Tis not the balm, the sceptre, and the ball,
The sword, the mace, the crown imperial,
The intertissued robe of gold and pearl,
The farcèd title running fore the king,
The throne he sits on, nor the tide of pomp
That beats upon the high shore of this world...
W.S.

@vanjchan Same. I've chosen to take out an aunt who lost one child during the pandemic (his death day falls on Mother's Day this year 😭) and whose other child can't get into town this year. There will be endless Olive Garden breadsticks. Oh, yes. There will.

@SamanthaDunn You light up so many lives. I just took a failing student to lunch to help her figure out how she can graduate and she spent a good 10 minutes telling me how life-changing you were. (It's truuuuuue.)

"Remember! Only YOU can prevent forest fires" was an awful lot of responsibility to dump on a kid who already took responsibility for everything.

@ambernoelle @Ginafrangello Enter the personal care industry, which literally made up new diseases like halitosis (invented by Listerine) to prey on all that new insecurity!

[Candice just doesn't know, you know? @CandiceExplores]

@ambernoelle @Ginafrangello Let's not forget all the competition between "marriageable" women for the relatively few men that were left. Being a surplus woman was the absolute worst-case scenario for this generation.

@PorscheJeff @ambernoelle I loved this book way more than I wanted to.

Costco free sample guy eyed me up and down and yelled: "You obviously work out a lot, so you should definitely sample my baked scalloped potatoes with real milk, butter, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. They're full of protein and oh so healthy, Miss!"

Who was scamming whom?

[Candice just doesn't know, you know? @CandiceExplores]

@BCDreyer @turriger @digknit Sort of like how "chester drawers" is an accepted malapropism in the South?? Ooh! And now I'm thinking of a wedding dress designer I knew from a previous mag who wanted me to say "sequence" instead of "sequins" in an ad. That's a rampant one. https://t.co/9OmbyukaMG

@BCDreyer the NY Phil, NYCB, and the Met for good measure. He replied, I shit you not, "I meant upstate."

The "debate" raged on. My boss wanted to call a newspaper editor bc she didn't trust me or Google. The conductor's final Reply-All was "Surrender now, its my flyer."

Sir, I did not.

@BCDreyer a dictionary link. In his next request for me to fix it, he CCd the box office coordinator, the department chair, the dean, and a VP or two. He claimed his preferred spelling was "how they did it in New York" (we were in California). I sent examples of usages from (2/?)
