Is Amazon adding AI-generated subtitles to our novels now? Because "Appleseed: A Sweeping Johnny Epic – Climate Change and Manifest Destiny Across Multiple Timelines from the 18th Century to a Post-Apocalyptic Future" is fucking incomprehensible slop.

I used to generate story ideas while taking the kids on stroller walks or going to the park. Our life doesn’t lend itself well to that right now, so I have to create my own thinking time to start generating for this next book. So, late night workouts on these cool desert evenings.

Project NESS is in the agent’s hands for review. If all goes well, we’ll start prep for it to go out on submission. Which means…start the next book. Introducing code name Project: RIVERA #amwriting #notebooks

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

These last few days have hurt. Tonight also hurts, but the good news is we all get a tomorrow and many more after that. Bring that love and that passion to life that Ben did, and we can make each day a little bit better than the last.

What's life all about? It's hard to say sometimes, but the grace and love we experienced tonight probably has a lot to do with it. We don't have PAC anymore, but the love his family, his friends, his fans and everyone he reached in life had for him lives forever.

This is exactly how I'd feel about people who haven't read Solvej Balle's On the Calculation of Volume ... if I were a loon. Posturing is not the concern of a lot of people. Some folks are just living their lives and not keeping up with new pop or country singers.

Anytime we sit and watch a Classic Disney movie with the boys, and there's a scene with a wisecracking pair of ducks or cows, and that's their only scene in the movie, I usually think, "Oh. Got it. That'd be Tina Fey and Amy Poehler today."

JP pop singer Ado had her rock festival appearance canceled due to a typhoon, so she held a live stream in which she singlehandedly built her own stage in Minecraft and performed in Survival Mode. It is as batshit as it sounds.

Worked nearly all day yesterday in the backyard and in the garage. Filled up six black trash bags worth of garbage, trimmed rosemary bushes, and broken patio toys. Also, put up a hanging bike rack in the garage. Is any of it worth sharing? Not really the most photogenic stuff. But still. Proud.

You know that special feeling in your stomach you get when you realize you've linked the wrong Bluesky account in all of your blog posts for possibly the last year. Honestly, it's not that big a deal, but I do typically try to make sure this stuff is ironed out. Can't believe I didn't change it.

I’ve not unfollowed, but I’ve definitely muted people whose work I really admire because none of their posts were about their work or their friends’ work or anything else besides politics and moaning about the world. Sometimes we just need a break.

Walked downstairs and apologized to my wife--who has been holding down the fort with the four kiddos for the last few hours so I can work on copy edits for Project NESS--that I am in fact not a very good writer. (One of those days.) She told me to shut-up. And that fixed that.

My twins are growing up. In the typical way, but they’re definitely getting more curious about the world. They wanna know things like who’s the voice actor for which character and they wanna see what they look like, and then one of them the other day told me that Batman isn’t real.

Sketching to warm up, instead of doing my Morning Pages. Same end result, different path. I get 15 minutes to do whatever I want on paper and never have to show it to anyone. Try it.

What can't be forgotten about 9/11 is the ocean of BS controversies and cancel campaigns in the aftermath, like the backlash to this 2002 Starbucks ad that was accused of portraying the towers as cups and insects as the airliners (???)
