Glad tidings
Happy Christmas! Here’s a holiday mixtape and a quick note of gratitude.
This week I played a bunch of Stardew Valley, ate a million cookies, wrapped a ton of presents, and had a terrific conversation with filmmaker Penny Lane.
Now I’m off to drink some more wine, play Santa, and read some more Sherlock Holmes stories in bed.
Comfort and joy!
Holiday gift guide
My 2025 gift guide begins with three important items:
1. If you’d like signed and personalized copies of my books, I’ll sign as many as you buy, but to get them in time for Christmas, order from Bookpeople before December 14th.
2. I’m offering 20% off paid subscriptions to the newsletter for the rest of the year.
3. I have two t-shirt/hoodie/onesie designs for sale at Cotton Bureau.
You can read the rest here.
Making art in a noisy world
I enjoyed this hour-long chat with Panio Gianopoulos of Author Insider, but even better, several people have told me it was helpful to them.
The topic — “Making Art in a Noisy World” — could’ve been a subtitle for my book Keep Going.
Typewriter, tip, tip, tip
Friday’s newsletter, “Typewriter, tip, tip, tip” is named after the song from the movie Bombay Talkie. Some of my Hindi-speaking fans on Instagram got excited that I was sharing a Kishore Kumar song. I’m not that cool, I’m just old and I’ve been watching Wes Anderson movies for 20 years.
Tuesday Trio
Inspired by reminiscing about shopping at Borders around the turn of the century (yes, really) I started a new thing called “Tuesday Trio,” where I will recommend one book, one record, and one movie. The first in the series is “Radioactivity.”
