Finally, there’s an unprecedented event that’s a joy to live through: the Artemis II Space Mission. There’s a tremendous amount of context to catch up on, for anyone who hasn’t spent the past 10 days weeping over the moon, like I have.

It's so obvious when you've read enough of it - when you've been a reader. But I see it everywhere now:
How AI writing is everywhere. In marketing emails, newsletter posts, social media content.
It's hollow, and it echoes in ways that are sad and soulless.

Tonight, a crowd of carolers knocked on my front door; the kids and I gathered to listen to them sing by Christmas tree light, then we passed out gingerbread cookies we’d made earlier this week.
There’s still some goodness in the world.✨

It really is just TOTALLY INSANE how hard it is to make a truly excellent book. Nearly everyone underestimates what’s required. I think that’s why I LOVE hanging out with people who understand.
