@joe-hill.bsky.social I wanted to get in on the King Sorrow ARC love. What an amazing book! This is the fastest I’ve ever read 900 pages. Pacing was incredible, and King Sorrow’s Freddy Krueger-meets-Smaug-with-Robert-Shaw’s-Voice vibe was so fun. Congratulations on such an accomplishment. Wow.

I do not say this lightly. INSTANT CLASSIC. King Sorrow is by far my favorite @joe-hill.bsky.social novel. It made me feel like I was back in high school reading one of the great books that set me on this path to begin with. LOVED it.

It’s perfectly natural that people should believe Sherlock Holmes is the main character of 56 stories and 4 novels about Sherlock Holmes. But Doyle was always a clever hand when it came to misdirection and of course the best Sherlock Holmes stories are great because they’re really about John Watson.

From @joe-hill.bsky.social: “It’s always later than you think. Even when I’m sitting still at my desk, I’m in a desperate footrace against the clock to get in one more paragraph, one more line. It may look like not much is happening, but really I’m sprinting madly for my life.” #writingcommunity

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com Books

Title: How to focus on writing your book

There follow eleven tiny images telling a story. The captions read:

Turn your devices off (a writer with a phone and laptop. The screens are dark).
Put them in a drawer.
Lock the drawer.
Throw away the key.
Leave the house.
Do not look back.
Keep to backroads and hedgerows.
Feel your old life slip away. (the writer has shed his clothes)
Sleep by day.
Forage in the evening.
Write by the light of the moon
When you have a passable first draft, commit a minor crime and use your phone call to contact your agent. (the naked writer is in a prison holding a phone while an unamused police officer looks on).

Not really sure how to share the latest Oliver Burkeman column, "Navigating by Aliveness," which is too bad--his thinking about A.I. is clarifying. And hopeful. And good humored. He's done some of the best writing I've read about how to live well in our bizarre, disorientating moment.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

In a congressional hearing today, RFK, jr, stated: “I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me.” The correct next sentence should’ve been, “For that reason I am today resigning my post as head of Health and Human Services.”

Panel 2: Casino Royale.
"Vodka martini, shaken not stirred... And a sweet sherry for my mother."
says James Bond. His mother calls over feom their table "Just a little one."

Panel 3: The Lord of the Rings.
"You can look for your ring after you tidy your room and walk the dog, Sauron."

Finally, something RFK jr and I can agree on. You can begin doing your own research into the subject of dragons with #KingSorrow, out in October. If you order from Water Street Books in Exeter, NH you can even get your copy signed.
