Marco looks like a kid forced to dress up for a family gathering. He also looks like he’s been stress eating since Inauguration Day. #zelensky

When Gene Hackman was developing his hilarious character for Get Shorty, he was channeling his (and my) business manager, Edgar Gross. Look. Teeth. Some mannerisms. Edgar’s pic is from ~12 years after Get Shorty. Hackman was a deadringer for Edgar in 1995.

Before my first sale to a major studio, I did odd jobs for people who'd later be my business managers. Gene Hackman was a client. He was charming AND a loner. I got locked in his car pulling it out of storage—battery. “Thanks for not kicking out the windshield—I’d have to give half to my ex-wife.”

I think we should require ALL criminals to self-report (or face prosecution). I can’t imagine why we haven’t thought of this before.

The author's mom was in my high school class, and is one of the most deeply kind and principled people I've known. This story of a journey in faith is so rewarding to read, and exemplifies what (I think) Jesus would want us to do. The last paragraph made me cry. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A grifter and a despot walk into a peace summit... Oumageddon is back (if only to keep me sane). #OMG #Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar

Whenever someone in fiction declares, "LONG LIVE THE KING!” It never turns out well for somebody. Well, Armageddon is back (to keep me sane). #OMG #OMGTheNextBatch #King

We got a special government employee on job. Oh, he’s “special,” all right. #humor #writing #funny #notfunny

I embrace the chaos of my first draft, for within the mess lies my masterpiece—or at least some salvageable sentences. #writing #WritingCommunity

Last week we ended another successful run of our Advent Calendar. Tomorrow I’m going to start using my 20-Day PREVENT Calendar. #writing #politics

Looks like somebody brought their bodyguard to the holiday party. “Don’t mess with my presents.” 🎁 #HappyNewYear #writing

Every year I tell myself I’ll be ready early. And every year, I’m running around to a half dozen stores on Christmas Eve, fighting for the last scented candle like it’s The Hunger Games. #MerryChristmas #writing

Me singing as I walk into my #writing studio: “If caffeine and procrastination are wrong, I don’t want to be right.” #Friday

Writer’s block is when your characters lock the doors and pretend they’re not home. #writing #WritingCommunity

Great art takes great risk. A look at how the mediocrity of tech world “geniuses” is killing creativity. It’s nothing new. It’s just been vastly unimproved. #thealgorithm #writing #art #film www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

The Redwood Room in San Francisco is a post-holiday party tradition. Also great for hosting nefarious tech overlord cabal meetings. #holiday #writing

First ever tornado warning in San Francisco right after a flood warning and a tsunami warning? Cool, what chapter of Revelation are we on? #vaguelybiblical #SanFrancisco #writing

Do people suck more now than they used to or do the suckiest people have more access to me and/or my attention via technology than they used to? #peoplesuck

Who says cursive is not alive and well.

As my client and friend @edwardsavio.com always says, "It's not the history that's written, it's the rewritten history we need to worry about."

Just a few flurries, they said. #snow #writing At least it’s not a #tsunami

This is one of those easy to understand problems—it’s only taken 40 years for us to realize the roots of it.

I some times feel like social media is a lot of us going: “Okay, so… Every stupid idiotic thing I’ve ever thought…” Posting in 3, 2, 1… #writing #thoughts #feelings

Turns out space isn’t so great at posing. I mean, cute belt, but honestly, look at the camera, Orion. #stargazing #writing

I laughed out loud at this. @peterclines.bsky.social

Sunday Brunch on a weekday. Wednesday, Friday, Feels-like-a-Saturday. Hey, it’s a Holiday. #BlackFriday

This Thanksgiving, may your dialogue flow like gravy, your story arcs rise like pie crusts, and your relatives provide enough material for at least one comedic screenplay. #HappyThanksgiving #WritingCommunity

Having ADHD isn’t about being unable to focus—I have incredible focus. It’s about focusing on absolutely everything, EXCEPT the thing you’re supposed to be doing. #writing #adhd #life

The difference between a professional writer and an aspiring writer is this: An aspiring writer has one novel that is between 20%-75% complete. Whereas a professional writer has at least a half dozen of them. #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writing

I don’t know ANYTHING about that. “Let’s see—my characters are going to be breaking into the Great Pyramid looking for a secret passage. Let me study EVERY SINGLE THEORY EVER CONCEIVED about how the pyramids were built so I can be as ‘accurate’ as possible for one throwaway line.” Me, last novel.
