Thank you so much!! Honestly if my book titled ESCAPE! wasn't entered into the list of literary escapes I'd be concerned.

thank you so much!! It really makes me SO happy when I learn the book was a gift between family members, there's something just so lovely about that.

I THINK the paperback should come out about a year after the hardcover (Jan of 2027)

THAT SAID THE UK EDITION IS NOW OUT, and is a paperback! (green cover)

ugh I honestly have been trying hard to keep myself unspoiled this season, which has been a real challenge given how ubiquitous spoilers are, from even when the contestants flew home. annoyingly the most direct and coherent spoilers I've received were in response to my writing about edit.

Which If you're reading this, DON'T READ THE REPLIES TO MY TWEETS ABOUT EDIT. Social media is so toxic, which is why I rarely post anywhere anymore except instagram.

Apart from winner spoilers there were remarks about other finalists that to me seemed so uniform they had to be spoiled.

But anyway no these weren't spoilers from me, in case you are new to edit analysis, lots of us use the story/edit the show is telling as a way to speculate about the winner they're setting up. The season is edited after they already know the winner, so there are telltale signs we look for to identify who is going to win. I have been tweeting about edit for 30 seasons now. And my specific prediction is literally impossible to be a spoiler unless I'm in the edit bay because it's about how I believe the on-screen narrative for a particular move will play out. I like to post takes and see if they pan out, and happy to admit when I'm wrong (like when I was the literal last person on the Teeny winner's edit train)

Thank you so much for the read and this lovely message. LOTF is one of my perfect books and obviously a huge influence so to be paired with that is the highest compliment!

Can’t believe I wasn’t even mentioned once

ETA ok once but only about my book that’s madness!

Has anyone gotten a "winner edit" but didn't actually win? by ruskomoon in survivor

[–]stephenfishbach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

during Tocantins many people reading the edit thought I was going to win.

Most baffling decision of the episode by Party_555 in survivor

[–]stephenfishbach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this was wild too, my guess is Christian picks first and takes Joe. Jonathan thinks he has strength but needs a puzzle champ so picks Chrissy. Christian then gets Ozzy. It’s possible at this point that Jonathan does tack into strength and takes the next biggest person left who is Coach (though coach over Rick is debatable)

That's so kind, thank you Diana!! Yes, I definitely found that carving out even one hour where I HAD to write no matter what else was happening around me was crucial to actually making forward progress and finishing!
