Airport reading. StokerCon-bound.

I checked in for my flight to my first StokerCon within five minutes of availability to do so. I might be a little excited.

#nerdinabarwithabook Boobys in Carbondale. The Only One Left by Riley Sager

The origin of #nerdinabarwithabook Any bar though, not really a hotel bar. I'm the super awkward chick who thought sitting at the bar and reading a book sounded fun and now wishes she'd made a different choice and is ordering a second drink though she meant only to have one because she's nervous.

Book mail is the best mail! @jgfaherty.bsky.social #readhorror

Pre-order early and often! a.co/d/1g10dzR

I was typing a story idea into my phone as I walked and overshot my Airbnb by, oh, about a quarter of a mile. And that was after having coffee.

A new trail reading on my website. "A Mother Could Go Mad," first published in Tilted House. Reading from the wine cave at Walker's Bluff, with footage of a doe and her fawn from Coyote Creek. #flashfiction youtu.be/hLLskzRBq3M?...

Sliding into The Haunting of Velkwood by lovely @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social . Prepared to be haunted. #nerdinabarwithabook At Ebb & Flow in Cape Girardeau, MO with a house-made mead.

On the road less than 3 hours and already eating like crap. Let’s hear it for breakfast empanadas! Saving it now with a Michigan favorite, smoked whitefish dip! At The Idler.

I’ve got to write faster. Overall, I mean, not for a particular deadline.

Discovering life hacks. It is possible to eat too many olives for lunch. Follow me for more expositions of what should be common sense.

Dear Editors: YA horse girl books. Please, and thank you.

#nerdinabarwithabook Late to the party but Team Jade now! At my favorite dive bar/music venue, Carbondale, Ill. @sgj.bsky.social

Here’s what may make me drop The Last of Us and did make me quit The Walking Dead: Joel’s and Glen’s deaths. It’s not so much they died. It’s how. They got Red Shirt deaths, and they deserved Spock deaths.

Adjusting to an iPhone, problems-that-aren't-really-problems, episode 13. Siri will not work for me -- even though I had assistance setting it up. Probably all that smack I talk about AI. Ain't sorry...

The way the sun is coming through the trees with their new green, the woodpecker I can hear at the creek, the buzz of hummingbirds coming to the feeder I put up today — it’s a beautiful evening.

finally a politician i can get behind

I taught a flash-fiction writing workshop today and had a blast! So grateful for the opportunity and the fantastic group who attended. 🎆

We hope you're taking care of yourself and resting with your favorite read. If you need something new, we still have our APRIL ISSUE💕 buff.ly/kgc4UlM

You guys don’t need to try to convince me that any form of AI has merit. It doesn’t. It is boring and half-assed. I am fine getting by with human brain power. If the world nears its end and AI has one hater left, good news! I am still alive.

Writers: Don't miss the biggest lesson in SINNERS: It’s not about the script—it’s about Ryan Coogler's journey & how he sold it to create this cultural (and Hollywood) milestone. Don't miss my free Zoom with hubby @kundalinisteve.bsky.social next Tues. 4/29. REGISTER: www.iloveafrofuturism.com

An additional thing that would be really awful about being eaten by a zombie is that they have human teeth, which are not as well suited for ripping and tearing as say, tiger teeth or shark teeth. #thingsithinkabout #whatiswrongwithme

A quick read from A Haunting on the Hill by @elizabethhand.bsky.social #readhorror
