Synopses are almost worse to write than queries 🙃 #amwriting

🎶 just keep swimming, just keep swimming 🎶

I’m pretty sure this is the plot later on in the Left Behind series when the Antichrist is loose. So... yea, totally tracks

I love this series. Annnnd I’m very much looking forward to the show, Apple has done pretty well with the sci-fi adaptations they’ve done so far

🎶He’s making a list Throwing up twice Gonna find out which agents are nice Queries and submissions Are out 🎶 (I know it’s April, but thanks to time dilation and today’s crummy weather, it still feels like winter. Also I’m going loco 😀) #amquerying #amwriting

For those that were on the fence but hitting refresh every couple minutes last night due to FOMO (yours truly) there’s still time to be indecisive 😮‍💨

We just returned from a vacation to Hawaii, and let me tell you, being half a day removed from the US news cycle really helped my mental health. Gonna try to embrace this warm and fuzzy aloha feeling for as long as possible

Like claiming I invented grass. “””Creatives””” that claim these enshittified AI conglomerations of others’ works as their own don’t want to put in the work nor respect those that do. You can write the fanciest 1000 word prompt you want, it’s still not yours and it’s certainly not art

I know it’s useless asking logical questions of an illogical entity, but at what point do law makers look at all the fire and say “huh… so the arsonist wasn’t lying on his resume. Those firebombs were actually intended for use… maybe we should do something?”

“April fools!!! HAAA!” Don’t. You. Dare.

Enjoy this 5 minute doodle by yours truly depicting my journey to book 2 thus far. “…fuck” indeed #writersky #amwriting #booksky

Glad these folks are back in the game!

My wife is especially good at thread crafts (knitting, crochet, etc) and just randomly decided to try her hand at macrame after picking up a bundle of cord on sale at Joann’s. She knocked out half a plant hanger last night. Love watching a pile of nothing turn in to something. It’s like magic

Um… here, I’ll be your expert today: it’s not secure if messages are being sent to people without clearance. (It’ll be a fucking miracle if I’m still sane by the time this is over)

I love giving my WIPs cryptic working titles, but this one might actually stick

Apparently the kindle version of The Citidome is on sale for 2.99 right now? algorithms? book goblins? Amazon doing what they want? A good price none the less. Learned a lot from it that is arguably making my upcoming one better www.amazon.com/dp/B08STJVS7... #booksky #indieauthor #indie

Does alternative rock count as metal? That question probably answers itself, but this is my show where the rules don’t matter and the points are made up. Welcome to #metalmonday Coheed: music.apple.com/us/album/the...

I wrote my senators thanking them for having the gall to say no to the GOP. I also wrote Schumer. Had to do some heavy editing to keep it *polite* as he seems to think that is important. Feel free to copy or use it as you see fit #schumer #dnc

Terry Pratchett quote of this particular day

Scary needing to think about this for real-world context, but as a writer this also falls into my giant research bucket. Two-fer!

Good luck to #revpit authors and editors today! I’m sitting this one out, but look forward to seeing what everyone is working on

I NEED this energy out of every congress person that still has any dignity left. Shame it’s taken nearly 3 months for any of them to sack up but I’ll take it over the performative garbage they’ve so far come up with. Bravo Mr. Larson, more please #dems #dogesucks youtu.be/4WmWZ0pZpyQ

Found this cd floating around in my car last week. Been on repeat since. Not a dud track to be found #metalmonday #yesitstuesdayleavemealone music.apple.com/us/album/the...

sigh *unfurls comically long scroll entitled “Dead To Me.” Tongues nib of arcane quill: SOUTHWEST*

Dunno if I just missed them (which I find hard to believe) but I saw exactly 0 posts about international women’s day marches yesterday/today Speaking of, other massive protests over the last couple weeks have virtually flown under the mass media radar too. Scary shit.

Starting in on what are hopefully my last round of edits before I unleash my next book upon the world (via queries, fam, friends, etc) Think I’ll have to start stockpiling chocolate now to bribe my wife into reading draft number four 😬

Regardless of how you feel about the new trilogy, this track makes me laugh every time i hear it. BLEGH! music.apple.com/us/album/chi...

Currently reading Dracula since I couldn’t make a choice from my tbr pile (I default to classics if I can’t decide). It’s very good, wish I’d read it sooner. Great horror story (obvi) but I am really enjoying how contemporary the writing feels

Could listen to RZA talking about music all day. A true scholar of the medium.

Over on the other place *thunder claps, wolves howl* I used to do metal Mondays where I’d share a metal song that’s been on repeat lately. Here’s a bonus Saturday edition to get the gears moving again: music.apple.com/us/album/99/...

A fairly minimal ask that can have a major impact. They only give a shit about money. Let’s not give it to them today. #resist

Poor Things is probably the strangest movie I’ve seen in a long time, but it was a really fun, thought provoking watch. I honestly had no idea what to expect, but I think that made it better
