Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Just finished listening to this... a fine episode from a pair of fine humans. But man, did I ever get nostalgic when they went down the Velvet rabbit hole... what a magical time that was. Before social media ate everything, that was an oasis for some wonderful weirdos. 042
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 14/08/20262/2 "...This means that most legal disputes between you and us will be resolved through individual arbitration—a fast and efficient way to resolve concerns directly with us—rather than in court by a judge or jury..." How convenient. Get fucked, Bezos. 081
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 14/08/20261/2 This just showed up in my email from Amazon, about their updated terms and conditions: "We have updated our Conditions of Use to include (i) a mandatory pre-arbitration dispute resolution procedure, and (ii) an arbitration agreement and class action waiver..." 181
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 30/07/2026We’ve all met that person who finds out you’re a writer and then says: “I have an idea for a novel and I’m looking for a collaborator…” Or: “I’m writing a novel… got it all worked out in my head, I just gotta get it down on paper.” Yeah, these are the people using AI. 082
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I got gaslit by a chatbot: open.substack.com/pub/craigcle... 141
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Thank you, kind sir. Everyone, be like Caleb. 082
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 21/07/2026So I guess they've fixed the whole sycophancy problem and swapped it for a mansplaining asshole bot that's dead wrong. Seriously... I can't wait for the bubble to burst and this shit to stop. 1113
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 21/07/2026When they pushed back and insisted that yes, they had in fact seen Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, this was the ChatBro's reply: 152

Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Agreed... I didn't know about it until after it was printed. 010
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Years ago, I was reviewing books for our local independent weekly. For our Fourth of July issue, I wrote a review of the Declaration of Independence. I titled it, “Rare First Sedition.” The paper changed that to, “Inalienable… Writes!” And I’m still pissed about it. 1102
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Very cool... lotta people miss that one... 010
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 03/07/2026This last one was a bargain bin impulse purchase, but I hear this @paultremblay.bsky.social guy is an up-and-comer. Okay... nobody needs to go full waffle house in my comments... I dig Paul's work ("Horror Movie" really got to me) and he just had a birthday so maybe you should grab this one, too. 191
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Also, y'all missed a golden photo-op of me earnestly perusing the romance aisle until I came to my senses and found this one in fantasy/sci-fi. 141
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 03/07/2026@meganjeccles.bsky.social and I share a TOC elsewhere with @curtisippolito.bsky.social (more on him soon... I've got his on order), and her story left me stunned. Follow her (and the rest of these folks) and read the scoop on her insane rollercoaster to get her debut published. 151
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 03/07/2026@angelluiscolon.com isn't far behind, as far as how long I've known but never met him. Trust me, this dude can *write.* 172
Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Today's visit to my local indie was brief but the haul was a good one... I've known @craigwallwork.bsky.social longer than anyone else I've never met (trust me, that makes sense), and I can vouch that the lad knows how to make with the words. 2153

This book and I have been on quite a journey since I wrote the first draft in 2022. I experienced so much, good and bad, as you would expect for over four years. I wrote this novel with 1/2 13117

Craig Clevenger @craigclevenger.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Today marks three years without a drink. In 2023, I found a non faith-based recovery group and, the night after my first meeting, I wrote the date on the last bottle I finished and put it on my bookshelf. My brain's been slowly coming back, and I've been writing more and more. 10533
