I write stories. Some weird, some funny, all poorly, like a child armed with nonsense words and heavily sugared coffee.

I think most police officers shouldn't be police officers, maybe.

It's like wishing that your milkman will bring you sour milk. Who says billionaires are out of touch? I guess if the rest of us hadn't made the mistake of not being born rich, we'd get it.

Anyone else notice that AI is going to replace jobs, work miracles, lift us all up into heavenly utopia, but the only idea they've come up to generate revenue is...advertising?

Seems like they need to start calling it what it is: record profit quarter after quarter on things we must have to live. Inflation means something else; we're being squeezed to economic extinction.

People DO stop to wonder why the American government is worried about anti-fascism like it's a bad thing, right? Kind of a curiosity red flag?

Work slowly continues on the comic adaptation of @galengower.com's short horror story "This Final Surrender." It will be 32 illustrated pages, as well as some ancillary material.

I predict the entire Internet will be largely useless by 2030. People will be going outside, talking to strangers in public, and maybe reading books.

The great people at Carnage House included me in their Best of Year Two anthology. My story in this one made someone want to throw up a little, they said. Mine might be one of the tamer stories in the collection. Check it out! a.co/d/ivVcj59

If you enjoy absurd fiction with memorable characters, you will like the title story. It's about a kid trying to replace his dad with a robot. Lots of these stories feature dads. There's some psychology there. Anyway, fun stories, cool art by @jartravian.bsky.social. Check it out! a.co/d/8wG8Nhr

Have any of you found that people actually care about your newsletter, excerpts, or character art? I have found that I really enjoy writing and I love sharing stories with the world, but I am not interested in the social media marketing aspect of it. #writingforfunandsometimesfivedollars

If anyone is reading this, stay away from this scamming bullshit. They have like 50 different accounts and websites that are all geared to taking money from people without paying writers or artists for any of their 'contests'. If you're the account owner reading this, go fuck yourself.
000
Galen Gower - Writer @galengower.com · 05/10/2025
How many fucking scams are you running here? This is like the fifth or sixth account you've followed me with and all your 'contests' are straight fucking cash grabs on the poor people entering your bullshit thinking it's legit. Please, for fuck's sake, fuck off.
010
Galen Gower - Writer @galengower.com · 07/09/2025
So, your 'contests' cost between $35 - $170 and this is the payment: Mainly what this contest does is give exposure to the writer. This smells an awful like some predatory bullshit. Given that you also seem to run 500 websites full of the same, I'd prefer it if you fucked right off.
