The Weight feels like the sort of movie I don't see often lately. There's a ready comparison to be made with films like Sorcerer, but it's also just fun to see movies feel this way in 2026.

Ethan Hawke in The Weight. He's in the forest, looking serious, as someone else hikes behind him.

Coyote vs Acme is both an absolute delight and a remarkably timely film about refusing to let big companies have the final word. It's entirely worth seeing as soon as possible

96000 words and there's more work to be done, but I don't think I'll ever get tired of this feeling.

This Publishers Weekly article from Jan. goes into more detail. It's not that they are TRYING to sell our work for training, it's that those companies are placing orders with booksellers and distributors. Most sellers aren't giving us the option Ingram is. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Man, I love theater. And the Hadestown proshot is gorgeous. The show is incredible live but this is such a lovely way to revisit and for more people to experience it.

When a local brewery invites a professional to talk about ancient tattoos and mummies, you attend.

A slide for a Profs and Pints event featuring an image of a tattooed human figurine beside the heading "Ancient Tattooing." The presenter is Aaron Deter-Wolf on Instagram as @archaeologyink. The slide also features a warning that the presentation will include visuals of tattooing, blood, and archeological human remains.

Finally watching The Northman which is my last Eggers movie to date. Eggers is a great director, but also give Jarin Blaschke all the accolades for the incredible visual style of these films.

Just watched the Backrooms movie. The sketch comedians and YouTubers continue to deliver in feature length horror. Just goes to show the talent that indie creators continue to bring to the conversation.

Obsession was thoroughly unsettling. Between Curry Barker's eye for horror and the performances of the two leads--especially Inde Navarrette--it stacks terrifying visuals on top of a horrifying premise interspersed with enough comedy to keep the audience off balance all the way through.

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

Cooking is a skill that comes with practice. For example, now when I read 1 tsp of garlic powder, I understand that it actually means 1 whole bulb of fresh garlic.

With all our technological advancement, I love how autocorrect increasingly suggests replacing the right word with a grammatically incorrect one instead

Being informed is important but there's something damaging about the modern internet showing us a constant stream of first-hand videos of violence, even from established news outlets, as common practice.

After hardly writing for weeks, I sat down and drafted a short film tonight, channeling some feelings about the large and terrible Everything onto the page. Is it good? TBD Will it go anywhere? Unclear But it feels good to have it written all the same.

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

Some days, being a writer is a negative balance on the author compensation report, and this is okay too. (But if you want to buy the battle unicorn book, I certainly won't complain)

Movie theater just ran an entire AI short film before the actual trailers and, to no one's surprise, it was vapid trash. Get that nonsense out of my theater experience.

Back home from Boskone 2026 and it was a wonderful time of panels, readings, and spending time with so many incredibly talented writers. Hugely grateful for everyone who made this year's con such a fun and refreshing weekend.

A bunch of Minneapolis authors are coming together to offer incentives for donating. If you DM me proof of donation, I’ll send you a bookplate and a piece of microfiction that is set in the word of The First Bright Thing.

Minneapolis needs you. ICE is terrorizing Minneapolis, St Paul, and greater Minnesota. People are afraid to leave their homes. For vulnerable families, accessing food can be almost impossible.

What can you do? Community Aid Network MN (CAMN) has been distributing food, diapers, and other essential supplies for years. We are working to fund a month of 10k. Please join us in donating. @communityaidnetworkmn
