This place here isn't dying. Most of us simply refuse to put up with assholes. Blocking/muting/ or just not following people back actually works. I don't put up with assholes in real life, why would I put up with them here?

Working on my mummy story and holy shit this thing is fun. Pulpy as hell and already cranked up to eleven in chapter one. No sense diddling around, this one's taking off like a rocket. Chapter two is running down the highway at ninety miles an hour and things are about the get crazy.

I started reading DUNE last night. I'm about 50 pages in, made it a lot farther than I expected, and I'm liking the story. I have not seen the new films, and I saw Lynch's adaptation so long ago I barely remember it. Hoping to finally conquer this massive tome before watching the new films.

My guest on today's Dog-eared Nightmares is @thisishorror.bsky.social's Michael David Wilson. My audio defaulted to the computer, rather than my mic, which just makes Michael sound even better by comparison! We talk Daddy's Boy, his pedal to the metal crime-comedy opus available right now!

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

Sometimes I think I want to write something set in the 1970s or 1980s, then cringe at all the research. And I grew up during that time! But each year my memories of those days fade away ... there's whole chunks of time just gone. I'll be 58 next month, and the 70s - 80s were so long ago!

I'm seeing the "sex scene" chatter coming up again. Listen folks, this is real simple: it doesn't matter if the scene is necessary, the reality is some people fuck, they enjoy it, and it can be sexy and erotic. More horny fiction. And if you don't like it ... you don't have to read it. Weird deal.

If you're feeling out of sorts with whatever wild-ass, crazy, bonkers swing for the fences idea you're working on, remember there's a whole video game franchise built on the premise that there are demons on Mars. Demons ... on Mars. Write fearlessly. Now I'm off to play DOOM: The Dark Ages.

If you prompt AI to produce a product, you are not a writer. If you sell that product and call it your "writing," you are a liar and a fraud, as well as a lazy wannabe devoid of skill, talent, or imagination, and you should fuck off into the sun. I hope that's not too subtle for you.

Sometime last year, I found this jazz group and I can't remember their name. They focused on 70s-80s grindhouse soundtrack sounding music and I need to hear that shit again. I can't believe I didn't at least add one of their albums to my music. It's not Calibro 35, but similar. Any ideas? Help!
