tbh i’m only doing short stories but i cannot believe it is worth it to get involved in SF/F twitter. nooooo.

I replied:

I’m much more of a novelist than a short story writer, and it’s like … ugh, fine. But the hellscape of SF/F Twitter is half the reason I neglect my account tbh (so it only has … like, 30 followers, lol).

I know other professors who are on twitter for academic presence and reasons… I am not. Because there is no way I’m interacting with strangers on twitter.

Just tell us what it is when it’s out so we can buy it, please!

I replied:

Aww, thanks!

I don’t think most people are interested tbh, which is fine (my “Anghraine” self has always been mainly for fandom), but I’m a little leery about explicitly connecting my pro and fannish identities. I’m not putting a lot of effort into the separation, just trying to avoid having one lead directly to the other. So I probably won’t say directly. I might broadly hint, though :)
