It’s April 23! One month until Milksop’s launch!
In my latest ODD Substack post, I share links for pre-ordering Milksop, along with two rather embarrassing fantasies, one about a pre-ordering frenzy, the other about Ann Patchett.
Here’s a taste: “I see Ann Patchett in bed. There’s nothing untoward about this fantasy. She’s in bed reading, and her husband, Karl VanDevender, whose name suggests he’s of Dutch heritage, like Evan Mulder and me, is beside her. Ann clearly likes Dutchmen. Their dog Nemo is sleeping between them. Ann is reading Milksop, smiling and laughing and even shedding a tear or two—at Evan’s story, not at the poor quality of my writing. That would be a nightmare.”
Where’s the line between having big dreams for your writing and being delusional? I think I’ve crossed it.
Happy reading!
