Sad news/Happy news Last year we lost my buddy Zeus. He’d been unwell for a while, and he finally crossed that rainbow bridge. I really miss that crazy guy. Now the happy part. Meet Ricky Ricardo! 14 weeks old and 100% energy. I’ve said goodbye to sleep, productivity, and sanity.

I just found a site that allows you to make social cards without breaking the bank. Social.Cards, The subscription is $40ish. The interface is wonky, but the price is right. Oh, and I cleaned up last year in the awards category! 2 for 2. #WritingCommunity #AmPromoting amzn-to.href.cards/15c7e314d3

Please see the title of H.R. 1161 for context

I offer the following as a PSA with no context or comment. youtu.be/wKjxFJfcrcA

This popped up on FB this morning. This time last year I was deep in the second draft. I'm crushed under a project for work and haven't had time for a #FirearmsFriday post, so I thought I'd share how the sausage was made for those who missed it. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Writers amzn.to/40onV0a

I'm a firearms guy, but sometimes I get questions about other stuff. When I need knife, sword, and melee weapon info, I turn to Skallagrim. This guy is awesome. youtu.be/vN9cnYimuF0?... #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Fantasy #writinginspiration

Amazing News! I won the International Impact Book Award for writing and publishing 2025! I entered the contest in May, and promptly forgot about it. Judging wasn't going to happen until the end of the year. Why obsess? Looks like I get a glass of the good stuff tonight!

With a nod to our favorite Christmas movie I give you the MP5 for #FirearmsFriday. 𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘯. 𝘏𝘰-𝘏𝘰-𝘏𝘰 Merry Christmas #WritingCommunity #AmWriting Graphic sans hat will be up on ChrisGrall.com

This #FirearmsFriday post has been a nightmare. You can read why here: chrisgrall.com/blog-1/f/the... Anyway, everything's been fixed and I can now proudly present the FN FAL. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Why do I always find out about a book contest AFTER the finalists are announced?

I’ve got my flags out, chili is on the hot plate, and there’s plenty of ice. #GoArmyBeatNavy

I’m thinking about adding a random letter to the middle of my name, like P: Chpris When people ask how to pronounce it I’ll say, “Chris, the P is silent.” This was funnier when I thought it.

#writingcommunity, jump in!

#WritingCommunity I should be prepping for Army/Navy right now, but this baseball card has been burning in my brain since last week. Now that I've put out the fire in my brain, I can put the fire in my chili. Looks like I snuck in a #FirearmsFriday after all.

#WritingCommunity, I discovered AnyImage.io and used it to create this ad. No more stupid Amazon default ads for me! There is a free membership - no analytics - but that's okay because all I want is to control how the ad looks. Use the FB parameters for BLSKY. amzn.social-preview.top/r5icju0

The first batch is complete. I'll cook up another meat batch and a vegetarian batch tomorrow. Those will stay in the pots for Saturday. Of course, I'll need to do a little quality control test tonight for dinner. #GoArmyBeatNavy

I finally figured out how to make clickable ads! Don't worry, I won't spam the feed... too much. amzn.social-preview.top/r5icju0

Chili Batch 1 of 3 is in the pot. Now we do 3 hours at 250. #GoArmy #BeatNavy
