Who would like a distraction from *waves hand around*? Step back into 1995, then, and read this short mystery piece about an all-girl grunge band and their POS manager. Crime ensues. Listen to Radiohead while you do it. www.unchartedmag.com/stories/1995/

1995 - Uncharted

They gathered around the body at midnight. All four members of Lilith Skulls—Amy, Petra, Ty, and Cat—hovered above the once pink face of their band manager, Jeff, who laid in a barren corn field outs...

It feels so odd promoting a book right now but if you want to read about a Jersey girl taking down Corporate America (and all its ills), then this is the read for you. I don't mess around when it comes to comeuppance. #books

I could probably anxiously ruminate out loud for 20+ hours, but that's it.

We're into the last 6 hours of the Crime Writers for Trans Rights Auction. One of my wonderful collaborators on the auction @sgwong.com created this graphic for me showing what I'd be bidding on if I could bid—I can't bid, but you can. Go for it—And thanks for making the auction a HUGE success.

For Gen X and Millennials who are dealing with the stress of aging parents, I see you. My dad died of cancer in December and now my mom is going into assisted living (she has dementia at the ripe old age of 68). Everything feels like a lot.

Authors, if you have access to Peacock, watch the SNL documentary they did about the show writers. As a novelist, it gave me so much validation. We are all just hoping our shit will get picked.

For the love of all that is holy, if you can, watch The Homecoming Concert for SNL50. I'm not sure what I'm loving more. Eddie Vedder, the Lonely Island tribute, Backstreet Boys...I'm only half-way through.

I've been struggling to listen to political podcasts -- I've given up on cable news -- but Jon Stewart's Weekly Show Podcast is excellent, and his interview with AOC gives me some hope that Dems will get their shit together.

Who is 50% through drafting their WIP? Anyone else? It's such a weird spot to be in. On one end, I'm over the hump. But also, I have so much left to do.

Please do as I say for your own sake: write every day. Don't get off the hamster wheel. When I take long breaks, it takes me forever to get back to my story. I forgot the plot. The characterization. Just write. Even if it's 200 words. Just write daily. Learn from my mistakes.

Lots of examples to pick from, but this stands out: I got a bill for $250 from my doctor for an office visit because BCBS decided to rescind a payment it had made 2 years earlier, and the office had to bill me the balance. Make that make sense. #healthinsurance

I turned in my copy edits for a book I am both excited and anxious about. There is something inherently insane about author careers where current sales matter to future contracts.

Help me, cloud people. I went to a wedding for a family member at a restaurant. I gave a gift. Then there was a second wedding party at a hotel months later. I didn't give a gift cuz I gave one the first time. Now, I received a text saying they can't find my card. How do I respond?

Thanks to @bryonq.bsky.social for the code to join this community! Total aside, my 71yo father just discovered reading (whole 'nother topic). He read Death of a Dancing Queen and said he didn't care for the Jewishness. My Jewish father, peeeeple. Can't wait to use this platform as therapy. Kidding.
