On the great value of unplugging for a day, getting away from the To Do List, and rediscovering a mental space that isn't being online. Also the tale of my bookshelves and how I became a trope of myself.

I'm going full rant today because I'm just baffled by the bizarre responses - and cray pushback I'm getting - for daring to suggest writers should be paid fair value. And I'm emphasizing, people, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORK FOR FREE.
