Enjoying your substack, Mo. Pithiness by the pound. Pith > pulp. Lean into the pith. Even more pith. Extra pith. Countrystyle pith. "Mrs. Pith," that's a title for something. Then you can do the sequel "Mr. Pith" ten years later. Like fucking Evan S. Connell. Badass. People don't talk about him as much anymore, right? Dummies.

But I'm also the kind of person who appreciates a hardcover book about wars that aren't WWII, so don't take it from me.

Alright, go promote Mo Rocca's new book that comes out soon. Help a fellow Mo. If you type him into Amazon it gives you: "Showing results for moroccan" and a bunch of froufrou hair products so he seems like he could benefit from an IRL push.

whoaaaa no one ever made me do that!! how fascinating. obviously i shower booksellers with love when i'm in a store but what an interesting idea.

also, in my current WIP a bookstore owner corners an author at a party and she can't figure out how to get out of it while showing the proper deference, lol
