I tend to write in a fairly linear fashion, occasionally skipping ahead a bit to write down a scene as it pops into my head. I've been planning the next WiP for so long that I have started writing out scenes instead of taking notes on them. At some point I'm just going to have to start this one.

When Trump is finally defeated, remember that the hangers-on and the ghouls surrounding him, the JD Vances of the world, will all claim that they were trying to moderate his evil and they should be thanked. And we need to remember that this is a lie. They were willing to do anything for power.

When we moved into our first house we each picked a few things to plant. I chose fescue and thistle. They were still there when we left 25 years later. I loved my invasive grass and weeds.

My second novel will be released from Wicked House on December 1, 2026! Gorgeous cover by Christian Bentulan. Pre-orders are now live. I'm excited to get my WWI-era ghost story out into the world, and I hope readers enjoy it. a.co/d/0io9k7N0

I won’t eat a bagged salad or anything from Taylor Farms but I did just lick the bowl that held chocolate, butter, confectioners sugar, and egg yolks. It’s not hypocrisy. I’m willing to get the runs for chocolate but not lettuce.

When you think about, it's crazy how a corrupt serial philanderer with low intelligence (possibly illiterate) who is well known for shady business dealings including accepting bribes and kickbacks has stayed in office so long. (1/2)

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Remember when Temu Nero was campaigning and talked about bringing down the prices on "they call it groceries"? Remember the three examples he gave? Bacon, lettuce, and tomato. I think we know what the next compromised food will be.
