Something here.
Writers have my ultimate respect. I may have a 100,000 word story in me, but anytime I try to write it down my brain wants to dump its entire contents in a single 20 minute sitting. #writing

If I learned anything from Josh Malerman’s book Watching Evil Dead, it’s that the act of writing itself makes you a writer. Sales or publishing record don’t decide if you are indeed a writer, they are just vehicles to be able to write more and afford living. @joshmalerman.bsky.social

Storm Forecast in Midwest = Stores are wiped out of Milk, Bread and Frozen Pizza

Storm Forecast in Florida = Stores sell out of water and plywood boards.

Guess what doesn’t sell out in either case? Bookstores. 🤣

I want to buy an old blockbuster video location, restore it to its glory days, and instead of stocking it with video, fill it with books. Particularly genre books.

I will call it Blookbuster. Or Blockbookster. Or Blookbookster.

I don’t discuss philosophy.
I don’t study history.
All I know is what’s past is past, and what’s ahead is ahead.
The second is ka, and takes of itself.

Marvel missed out by not having a Loki variant from Timeline Six Seven named Lowkey: God of “Mid”schief. Crocodini Houdini. He won’t steal your keys but he’ll lose the lid to your OJ, no cap. “What is this pith? Where’s the Priiiime! I need hydrates deadass!”

Watching the morning lift of TSLA bros who think they are “buying the dip” only to watch the stock crash for the rest of the day has been my favorite form of doom scrolling.

Whether it’s rockets, stocks, self-driving cars or parties: Elon has proven he’s excellent at crashing things.

I started 2024 thinking I would begin my writing journey. After a couple failed starts, I knew I needed to spend more time with the greats. I read and read (and read some more). The education has been life-changing.

The Lions hoodie completed the look! Happy Holidays @pfracassi.bsky.social!
Very grateful for this early Christmas present from my friend Jason Murphy.

My very own Funko character!

Complete with Lions jersey, book, bottle of scotch, and both our kitties. 🐱🎄

This story has deep, dark layers to it! It’s an amazing read. Can’t wait to dive in again when I get my production copy—with a badass @tjoneswriter.bsky.social signed postcard too (collecting full set might be a challenge..but that won’t stop me)
Limited edition postcards for those who ordered my novel NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES on the first day of preorder.

Each order will receive one signed postcard with a quote from the book.

The novel, signed by me and Ronald Malfi is still available to order from Earthling Publications.

My Dark Christmas collection is growing. I have a nice edition of Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol somewhere that will go up when I find it. I really like that UK edition of NOS4R2 (aka NOS4A2).

I didn’t have a Turkey book in my library, but I did have this indie wonder about Chickens! Poultry is gonna do what poultry is gonna do.
