Postcard #5 of the year went out last week! This postcard's story is Warmth by @atgonzalez, and the art is Red Sun by Arthur Dove. Each postcard is numbered and date-stamped at the post office.

A preview of the progress on my #AppleII typesetting. The text is from @atgonzalez's Galapagos Larvae, shared with their permission. Here, you can see the following features: justified text, mixed case, proportional fonts, smart curly quotes and italic text.

Because of the way the Apple II displays color, white lines on a color TV have a distinct rainbow effect on them. It looks fine on a black-and-white monitor. I'll take a look at my other color options. #NantucketLit #retroComputing

New blog post: The first part of an interview with writer @atgonzalez, author of Galapagos Larvae. Gonzalez has also written for my publications Quarter Up and First-Class Fiction, and was published in my anthology Overscan.

We talk about writing and some of his favorite authors. If you have enjoyed his work, here's your chance to learn more about him.

I'd like to get on #IRC this week. There's been some solid updates to Nantucket Lit recently, and I'd love to answer questions.

Let me know what days of the week work for everyone. Otherwise... Thursday the 12th?

My server is nantucketlit.com/6697. The channel will be #books. #NantucketLit

To be honest, I would prefer to use IRC, maybe try XMPP, and never use Discord again. What say you?

Today, I mailed out the first postcards for #FirstClassFiction. Over the course of a year, I'll be sending out 25 postcards, each with a unique story or poem. Each postcard is individually numbered, and has a serialized sticker.

Some writers for these stories/poems will include @atgonzalez, @amin, @asakiyume, and @superball. The first postcard has a poem by @NylaWoethief

I was one of the trial recipients for this postcard project. So fun!

Also, as it so happens, two of my pieces will be on the postcards this coming year. Looking forward to seeing them out there, after having only self-published for several years.
