@Gabino_Iglesias I don’t think of you as midlist. Multiple copies of at least 2 of your titles are at my local Barnes & Noble, and to me, that is rockstar status.
You know how people are all "I have no fucks to give?" That's not me. I'm trying hard to develop a "whatever" reaction when frustrated at the day job. I think "whatever" may be the gateway word I need.
You always hear about how AI is going to change every industry, every product. In some ways, we students are the product that has been changed first. Stanford has a larger budget than 116 countries. That doesn’t happen just because you’re really good at educating people. It happens because you figured out how to monetize yourself effectively. And students are the ones that you’re going to be reaping your future rewards off of.

This is it. This is why I write.
"Consider those moments when you’ve been reading a story and suddenly been astonished by a writer’s insights into your life. Into you. Insights by a writer you have never met. A writer who may have come from a different country, from wildly different circumstances than your own, who may have been dead for a hundred years. But who has voiced something you couldn’t put into words, who has made you feel seen, recognized, in ways even your loved ones cannot manage, perhaps even your therapist cannot manage. Who seems to have written this story with you specifically in mind.
What a strange feeling. Exciting, gratifying, intimate, and also—unsettling." -- Suzanne Berne
