Can't wait for the day Disney decides to make animated versions of the live action versions of the animated versions of their movies

Great story by @genedoucette.bsky.social , but I recommend listening to it as narrated by the great @stefansecho.bsky.social & friends, he had me giggling the whole time.

Third-party merchants are "selling" copies of out-of-print editions of my books on Amazon in what is clearly money-laundering, and IDK what I can do about it.

Thanks @jdnicoll.bsky.social for the mention

Reactor has a nice mention of The Apocalypse Seven. reactormag.com/into-the-aby...

What I miss most about vacation is the mental clarity that comes with not being in the middle of a nightmare of pollen

It's release day! genedoucette.me/2025/04/08/t...

Oh hey, with all the End of Western Civilization going on, I nearly forgot I have a book coming out Tuesday

Finished S3 of REACHER. Best part was when the enormous Alan Ritchson, as Reacher, fought the even more enormous Olivier Richters. The height difference reminded me of when Tom Cruise played Reacher and fought (checks notes) normal-sized humans.

The Maryland Terrapins have a player named Queen on their team, and now Kevin Harlan dramatically intoning, "The TALented Queen" is going to be living in my head for the rest of my life #marchmadness

Just finished uploading the final final final version of THE WISDOM OF SAND to all the relevant vendors, and can I just say that my greatest fear is of one day loading the wrong file in an update? #writing #selfpublishing

One of these things is not like the others

Current economic policy: punching ourselves in the face and asking other countries why they keep punching us in the face

Question: How many of you are typing "The End" at the end of your books? I have never, ever done this. In fact, the only time I've even SEEN it is in movies when the film is short-handing the fact the main character, an author, is done with his big manuscript. #writing #authors #amwriting #fiction

The hardest part about editing is writing first draft words that'll fit into a fourth draft document #amwriting

Heard a DJ announce an upcoming song by Pete "Town-SHend" and did not drive off the road. Feels like I should receive some kind of safe-driver credit for that, but I can't get anyone at the insurance company to agree with me

Wife, eating cookie, to the dog: You can't have this. It's chocolate. Dog, to me: Is this true? Dog, to me: Am I a dog??

gonna go out on a limb here, but i think the lesson is we should stop cloning dinosaurs

I don't like salmon, but every now and then I try it again just in case I'm missing out on something. Maybe my tastes have changed. But every time, it turns out I still really hate salmon. Which brings me to the Kendrick Lamar halftime show... #superbowl

I finished a draft of Sunset Station book two yesterday. Title (unless I think of a better one in the editing process) is LAST CONTACT. Meanwhile, book one (THE WRONG SIDE OF SUNDOWN) is five days away. #writing #scifi

Tandemstar book four has a cover and a release date! #writing #scifi #newrelease genedoucette.me/2025/01/27/t...

Won't be paying my taxes this year until after I've conducted an ideological review of how the funds are being spent

The Wisdom of Sand is my somehow my 17th novel. (I had to count.) Throw in the seven novellas, twelve shorter works (novelettes and short stories) and two story collections and I think I know how to answer my high school alumni president's question. #writing

Love how we're all talking about January like it's an island we're trapped on, when you know two weeks into February we'll be like, I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE SHORTEST MONTH WHAT IS HAPPENING

Tandemstar book four has a cover and a release date! #writing #scifi #newrelease genedoucette.me/2025/01/27/t...

I guess I'll root for the refs #NFLPlayoffs

We really want players in a concussion-prone game to say "I am... somebody..." over and over in a commercial? #NFLPlayoffs

This week's entry in the Tom Brady Accidental Double-Entendre Machine: "Greasing the light poles" #NFLPlayoffs

Yesterday I learned how to make sugar-free blueberry muffins. 1: take a blueberry muffin recipe 2: prepare as directed except 3: forget to add the sugar My wife thinks they taste just fine. I think they taste like blueberries suspended in sadness. #baking

The long-awaited cover for the long(er)-awaited fourth book in the Tandemstar series, The Wisdom of Sand #writing #scifi #newnovel

may he have nothing but terrible ratings

Bills Mafia singing "Mr. Brightside" in the stadium is somehow perfect. "A delusional obsessive? We must adopt that song immediately."

You may be good at your job, but are you "Nate Burleson's agent" good?

The defense in this Commanders/Lions game is like all-star game defense. NBA all-star game. #nflplayoffs
