Call me crazy, but I think the President of the United States* welcoming a foreign adversary to wipe out American cities is very much treasonous. *Even if in name only.

I'm a writer. Of course I'm constantly fighting the urge to rewrite my debut novel.

I'm a writer. Of course I have a collection of notebooks I don't really know what to do with.

Why yes, I have invested in an Asana account to help keep track of my writing projects and my freelance work. Is that, like, weird or something?

#PretendPanel I write for myself, and for anyone disillusioned by the fact that the world they're living in isn't the world they were promised growing up -- and that seems to be by design.

I'm a writer. Of course my Keurig hates to see me coming.

I just upgraded the living room TV (bigger with smart features). I'm upgrading my home internet next week, then I'm canceling cable and signing up for YouTube TV. I was worried 55" wouldn't be big enough, but it actually fits really well. Just in time for the Caps season opener, too!

If you're looking for a writing group to join, maybe fill the gap left by the implosion of a certain fall-based writing competition, maybe try The Writing Woods? It's a really chill vibe, and Victoria runs a great YouTube channel on writing as well. writingwoods.com

#WeeknightWriters Well, of my three WIPs right now, I've got one mystery/superhero, one thriller/sapphic romance, and one non-fiction. I'm doing my best not to blend them all together. 😅

I'm a writer. Of course I get all giddy when I see someone reading -- even if the book they're reading isn't one of mine.

I would rather be fed into an MRI machine wearing a suit of medieval armor than use whatever that chatbot this regime just launched is supposed to be...

Screaming at colleges to lower tuition without also acknowledging the decades-long public disinvestment in higher education, at both the federal and state level, is disingenuous at best.

J.D. Cunegan @jdcuneganbooks.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I'm a writer. Of course I suck at math.

Today was my second therapy appointment, and my therapist -- unprompted -- looks at me and goes, "You're incredibly impatient, and unfairly hard on yourself." ...Ma'am. 🫠🙃 Like, yes. But don't clock me like that this soon!

J.D. Cunegan @jdcuneganbooks.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I'm a writer. Of course my protagonists threaten to kill me several times a day.

The notion of not raping someone is awful triggering for the crowd that loves to call the rest of us overly sensitive snowflakes. 🙄

J.D. Cunegan @jdcuneganbooks.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

How I know the BlueSky vibes are more chill than Threads: the reasons to my "I'm a writer" posts. Because on Threads, some people are taking those posts waaaay too seriously. 😅

J.D. Cunegan @jdcuneganbooks.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I'm a writer. Of course I've always struggled with when to use "who" vs. "whom."

J.D. Cunegan @jdcuneganbooks.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I'm a writer. Of course the blinking cursor is the bane of my existence.

#BookSky I often forget just how much I've accomplished as an author, but seeing them all in a stack like this... I'm proud of me. Even if no one else is.

Has anyone else read Dungeon Crawler Carl and just... meh? I've started it, and I can see why others like it, but so far, I'm not feeling it. And like, there's something... off about it that I can't place, but it's there, and it's keeping me from fully diving in.

Dr. Jack Corbett, the protagonist of my contemporary fantasy NOTNA, is a Black bisexual man. It's not a big part of the story, but as a bisexual man myself, I wanted to write a story with a bi male character where the story didn't revolve around his bi-ness. (Totally a word.) #AwesomeCharacters

I'm a writer. Of course my characters are all smarter than me.

I'm a writer. Of course my manuscript contains things I should probably tell my therapist.

I'm a writer. Of course I just used the same word twice in a sentence and five times in a paragraph.

I started going through my mother's bedroom this morning, and y'all... the sheer amount of crap she had. 😅

With the ongoing saga of the Kennedy Center, a reminder: authoritarians always go after the arts. Every time. Oh, and the crusty little snowflakes can't ✨️stand✨️ it when we honor any president who isn't him (without also honoring him in some way -- never mind he hasn't done anything worth honoring).

J.D. Cunegan @jdcuneganbooks.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I'm a writer. Of course I write fight scene that make me question my own sanity.

I'm a writer. Of course the villain is dripping with subtext related to some unresolved trauma.

The problem is not Sydney Sweeney showing titty. The problems are the further perpetuating of women as sex objects (especially in sports), the further encroachment of sports betting in all areas of sports, and using Sydney as a code for the MAGA crowd who loves her just a little too much.
