Oh, and the air conditioner, so I'm keen on helping writers with their projects, so I can pay this off!
Found out my furnace needs to be replaced, so please hire me to work with you on revisions of query letters, first ten pages, individual flash or flash chapbooks, or collections! I'm going to need to teach a bunch of classes in 2026 now, so I'll get those worked out soon!
