      <image:caption>Quick update for you this month. NOVA 02’s proof copy just arrived (hurled by the UPS truck onto the front porch like an assassin’s least favorite ninja star, mind you) and one minor dent aside from shipping and handling, this cover looks mint. For NOVA 01, an issue we ran into was the semi-consistent approach of amazon’s many imprints—some copies of the book strongly displayed the glyphs in the background where others did not. Fret not, dear readers. For NOVA 02 electric boogaloo, we’ve bumped up the opacity by three hundred luma basis points and the results speak for themselves. I said “mint” didn’t I? Get your pre-orders locked up now because capitalism demands it of you. NOVA 02 drops September 30th, 2023. Follow our cover designer Andie on instagram. She’s the bees knees.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Emerson's Procrastination Station - A Far Green Country - January 4th, 2023</image:title>
      <image:caption>Happy New Year, dear reader! Trying out the whole30 diet to start off my own New Year (fruits, veggies, meats, and other “whole” foods). So far, so good, but I’ll be the first to admit my new year’s resolutions typically average about seven days before unravelling. Not via concentrated decision-making, mind you, but sheer forgetfulness. Here’s to hoping this year will be different and that your goal is much more fun than mine! Maybe you’re gunning for a front squat personal record or a more active social life. No? Also an annoying diet? Hmmm. Let us wallow in self-pity together. I can’t eat sweets for 30 whole days, which may eventually threaten the state of the cosmos. Now, normally, my New-Year’s-Eve escapades leave me feeling a bit dissapointed, with one of over-planning, insurmountable-expectation-setting, or just plain old-fashioned drama rearing its ugly head. But, wow, this year was different! Went down to South Carolina to celebrate a couple good friends getting engaged + New Year’s Eve at the same time! Not only was it efficient, but also the perfect amount of planned VS unplanned. We went clay shooting one day, golf the next, and new year’s celebrating last, which included many a boot-leg firework being shot off into the air (see video taken by my delightfully giddy buddy below). Three days of constant fun and memory-building with some of my closest friends. Hope you got up to some fun, too! Let me know in the comments below or by reaching out on instagram!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Emerson's Procrastination Station - Book-writing hyjinx - December 4th, 2022 The book writing process can get a bit dull when you’re going through the hardest part. The part where you actually sit down and write. It’s much more fun to world-build, re-shuffle outlines, strategize story arcs, update character description spreadsheets—okay that last one isn’t as fun. But the writing itself? Well, let’s just say it’s easy to find yourself bogged down with anxiety over character motiviations, story arcs, dialogue, descriptions, etc. It’s never-ending! With that said, I’m also happy to share that it’s been super energizing having folks engage with me online over my appearance on The Small Business Safari podcast! I had a ton of fun on the show, and if you listen, you’ll catch a clue about what to expect in NOVA 02! So, to everyone who has engaged with me online, let me say thank you! Your energy keeps me going! To show my appreciation, I share this extra photo of miss pops-a-lot. Enjoy it in moderation. I find too much Pop can inhibit the senses. In less eccentric news: NOVA 02’s manuscript is half-way done! This is especially exciting because getting this far required an ironing-out of a specific character’s motivation within NOVA 02—their motivation had already been fleshed out, per say, but I changed directions with some re-writes because it hadn’t been in line with who they really were. “The character just really surprised me, you know?” That’ll mean something to you if you’ve listened to the pod. Check it out on the homepage! If you’re a member of the CLT gang, get ready for a reading and signing event at Park Road Books in February! More information to come, but be sure to come on out and support a local author. Even if you don’t buy a copy of my book, buy somebody else’s! PRB does a tremendous job supporting local authors and I love having a brick and mortar presence there.</image:title>
