IT HAS BEGUN. I drank all of this. Don't worry, I don't plan on providing literal shitposting this evening.

Krissy has prepared for my evening. She has, truly, put the commode in accommodations.

The toilet has a little end table near it with tissues, a book, petroleum jelly, and air freshener

Good morning. This will be my life for the next twenty four hours.

Colonoscopy prep medicine and a big damn jug of apple juice

In two weeks all these trees will be yellow and orange. We're at autumn's tipping point.

The trees behind my house, all still green, although some are more green than others.

One month until release day! Avoid the chaotic release day rush by preordering it today at your favorite bookseller (and yes you can preorder the audiobook too)! Also, if you are in the Midwest of the United States, come see me on my book tour, details at link: whatever.scalzi.com/2026/09/17/a...

The cover of Monsters of Ohio, with a cute knitted Cthulhu up on top!

Tonight's sunset: acceptable

Spoiler: the sunset is actually fucking amazing, with spectacular clouds

When I post the Monsters of Ohio art, some dipshit will bray about it being "AI" despite my crediting the artist (Michael Koelsch), there being many examples of his work in the pre-"AI" era, and my long-established "No 'AI'" rule regarding my work. These "AI" finger-pointers can go fuck themselves.

The really excellent cover for "Monsters of Ohio," by Michael Koelsch. It has a tentacle monster using coupons!

I will be forever grateful to @tristanelwell.bsky.social for his Starter Villain cover art. The moment we all saw it we were all, "Oh, we're gonna sell a LOT of this one." And we were right! Authors, please use Tristan for all your cover art needs.

Can't work, have a cat on me, could be here all day

Spice the cat, laying on my legs whilst I am in bed, looking out the window

Oh, shit, it's that orange tractor again

An orange tractor going down my road. It has an attachment on it. That attachment was very recently used to cut hay.

Also there are weird noises in the corn, I mean, more than before

For everyone wondering if I am in fact secretly tempted to by Rick Nielsen's five-necked guitar, the current bid for which is $100,000, I will tell you that I have an immutable rule, which is not to spend more for a guitar than I spent buying the church. This rule continues to serve me well.

The sanctuary of the church, with The Beast, my six-necked guitar, on the altar.

Me to Krissy, right now: "Compared to this mine was a fuckin' STEAL"

Rick Neilsen's five-necked guitar's opening bid is $100,000

It's not "super intelligence." It's not even "intelligence." It continues to fuck up easy questions, like to whom I dedicated my most recent book. Also, Mike Johnson is a craven, simpering weasel and none of the people standing near him in this video respect him even the tiniest bit.

"To whom did John Scalzi dedicate The Shattering Peace"

"John Scalzi dedicated his novel The Shattering Peace to his longtime editor and friend Teresa Nielsen Hayden"

My editor is clearly expecting words in the manuscript this morning. I must oblige her.

Spice the cat, sitting on my desk, looking judgy.
