Self-publishing novelist R.W. Ridley has some interesting comments. In order to sell a million copies of my novel, he says, I have to change the culture such that *I* am so fracking interesting that people will buy my books because they’re by me. In other words, people are buying the novelist, not the novel.
Not quite sure how to go about making myself that J.K. Rowling/Tom Clancy/Stephen King/Thomas Pynchon(??) -style compelling character, but I’m working on it. In my own bumbling manner. Very bumbling. . . Pynchon???? . . .

NEW: Mitch McConnell just filed cloture on NC judicial nominee Thomas Farr, who has ties to white supremacists and has spent his entire career working against civil rights, especially voting rights and workers’ rights.
RT to send a clear message: Thomas Farr MUST be defeated. https://t.co/lhh0oxyQStSelling guns is the @NRA's reason for existence. White paranoia helps business. The @NRA does not care about gun owners; that's a cover story. They care about selling guns. They want white people to fear Jemel Roberson, not praise him. Fear sells more guns.
The NRA doesn’t care about black heroes: Jemel Roberson was “the good guy with a gun” https://t.co/hAmcXQxmAT
They always hate their own bootlickers https://t.co/zi1eaLUPHt
Sen. McConnell and others still argue there’s no need yet for our bill to protect the Special Counsel investigation. @SenAngusKing observes: This is like arguing we don’t need to establish a fire department until there’s a fire. There’s ALREADY plenty of smoke. @MitchellReports
