@sama @sama , I saw the news about your house—glad you’re okay. Stay safe. -Bertram

I wrote this early this morning and I wasn't sure if I would actually publish it, but here it is: blog.samaltman.com/2279512

@AlyssaMatesic @QueryTracker Sounds great. Any chance of an audiobook version soon?

I've been working on this massive project quietly for almost two years, and I'm SO excited to finally share it. 🎉 I wrote a book with the creator of @QueryTracker, the #1 tool writers use to research and track agent submissions. If querying has ever felt confusing, overwhelming, or just completely opaque, we wrote this guide for YOU. We use real industry data (from agent surveys + more than 4 million actual queries) to bring you never-before-seen insights into the querying process. If you're wondering: -What does that rejection REALLY mean? -How many queries are considered "normal"? -What are my real chances of getting representation? ...make sure to preorder it today! ☺️

Are you on @Substack? Follow me there and I'll rtf. @bamwrites/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@bamwrites/

Quiet gem from Book of 42²: Eddie D. Moore’s “Springtime Crappie Fishing with Uncle Bill.” Humor chapter. Eddie D. Moore reads it himself in a great video. What do you think of that last line? 👀 #FlashFiction #MicroFiction #42StoriesAnthologyhttps://shorturl.at/LYC6T

@AuthorGoodwin @RobertRaker1 Thanks for sharing. Early 2000s, I wrote a novel and thought it could get published: won awards in manuscript competitions, including agent ones. 250 agent came rejections. Shelved. Last year, I wrote a new book and feel in my heart it's the story I needed to tell.

15 yrs ago, I wrote my 1st book, tried to get it published, failed, then gave up writing for 11 yrs. Since 2021, I've written 6 more, published then unpublished several, and now all 6 are due out this year. Your 1st book may not be perfect, but keep going-it'll be worth it!

Are you in the January 19th Birthday Club? I'm honored to be in it with @DollyParton, Katey Sagal, Edgar Allan Poe, and Janis Joplin. Surprisingly, Dōgen was in it, too. Find out more in my latest blog. bamwrites.blogspot.com/2026/01/januar…
