It’s so wild that one of the reasons BlueSky is dissed so much is because there are smart people here who write and read books and then they have the gall to talk about what they know from writing and reading books. How dare you.

When I do promotional events for my book, John Candy: A Life In Comedy, people often ask me to identify, out of the hundreds of interviews I did for the book, who were the most significant. Without hesitation, I tell them, Catherine O’Hara.

I am not going to dive into the back and forth on piracy. I have a side, you can guess what it is. But I will say one thing: if you get the books from your library, you're still not paying for it and the author does get compensated.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 26800: Querying is a slow, anxious process. Don't make it worse by stopping work. Start something new. Have fun with it. At worst, having a new project will take the sting out of rejection. At best, you'll have a second half-finished book when your first is accepted.

I think they should invent a drug that lets you wipe your memory of John Carpenter movies so you can watch them fresh every Halloween. And then John Carpenter should make a movie about this drug's terrifying side effects.

When modern Christians say “it’s not the government’s job to help the poor,” they’re not echoing Jesus, Paul, the prophets, or the early church. They’re echoing figures like Ayn Rand, who despised Christianity’s communal ethic of compassion and called altruism a “moral evil.”

See, here’s the thing about the ego after finishing a novel—the writing of it, I mean. It can go either way. Like an Amazon review, it’s either angel-kissed or dumpster fire. Your brain says, you were a fool for doing it, or, c’mon, buck-o, let’s ride again! #booksky #writersky
