my 5yo asked me this morning how old I was turning tomorrow and when I said 39, she grabbed my face with both hands and said in utter astonishment, "Whoa! That's a huge number!"

Recently learned that the short film I cowrote will play at the iconic Chinese Theatre next month. I don't think I'll make it unfortunately but it's pretty cool. If you're in/around Hollywood next month, keep an eye out. I'll post more details when I get them.

It's come to my attention that someone is attempting to impersonate me via an AOL account. Any actual correspondence would come from my HarperCollins.com email address so please double check before responding. I would also never in a million years end an email with "Keep being awesome"

I haven't written a song in probably twelve years but have written five in the last few weeks. I should probably record a very lo-fi EP or something just to get them out of my head

finished it last night. I've read it probably 5-6 times over the last twenty years. There are a few other contenders, but Libra might actually be my favorite novel

Logged on an hour early to try to get Angine de Poitrine tickets and 2,000 people were in the queue ahead of me. Sold out within three minutes. Crazy how fast these guys blew up (and how obsessed I am with them) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRgH...

reading this year's BASS and if this doesn't describe the lives we've chosen i don't know what does

this story I'm working on keeps getting weirder and weirder (complimentary)

Update: This might be the strangest thing I've ever written but I am quite enjoying writing it.

I have not written much of anything for ~a year but have been trying to get back in the game. Realized this morning that the story I'd been working on was written from the wrong character's POV and when I switched it, the whole thing came to life. Haven't felt that in a long time. Not a bad feeling.
