A podcast commute today with thoughts on male gaze and sexist/gendered analogies. More on staying off the internet, killing kings, concubines, and assorted thoughts that I promise are related. Also an unexpected guest.

The blog post I mention, Increasing Peace and Productivity – No Monastery Necessary, is here (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/02/26/increasing-peace-and-productivity-no-monastery-necessary/).

Reporting in on the rather amazing effects of staying off the internet for the first 2 hours of the day, and thoughts on our new effort to cut down on screen time in the evenings, too. It's quite remarkable feeling my brain chemistry change.

You can listen to the interview with Tawna here (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/02/24/first-cup-of-coffee-february-24-2020/). The book I mention, A Lesson in Thorns by Sierra Simone, is here (https://www.thesierrasimone.com/a-lesson-in-thorns).

Mostly a rant today about how Dollar Car Rental is extorting money from us. Apparently now that everyone has figured out not to pay the ridiculous insurance, Dollar is making money with spurious claims we can't fight.

Do some people just not have the talent to write? Can hard work and practice be enough to make a professional author? I'm musing the roles of work and talent - and why writing a million words actually works.

ARCs of THE FIERY CROWN! And I've mailed out print copies of THE FATE OF THE TALA. Otherwise, I'm discussing algorithms for social media visibility and how AIs are changing how businesses operate.
