Thou shalt not accuse others of being criminals when you just made a criminal the commander in chief. Thou shalt stop being a gigantic hypocrite every second of thy life.

Writing is fine. It's literally the most embarrassing thing on earth to emotionally put yourself on full display for rejection or validation, but it's good. I enjoy it. I find it therapeutic to horrify myself.

It’s Thanksgiving leftovers day #4. There are no rules anymore and nothing matters. Turkey tacos? Great. Green bean casserole lasagna with gravy? Classic. Mashed potato milkshakes? Makes sense to me. You don’t owe anyone anything. You got this. Spread your wings and fly.

Dune has the same plot as the Westminster Dog Show: After generations of careful breeding, we have produced this perfect little freak of nature and now it has behavioral issues

If you are in Columbus, Ohio, highly recommend a stop at The Book Loft at German Village. It's a labyrinth in the best way.

with Thanksgiving coming up, I would like to remind my fellow writers . . . you wrote a book whether you're published, on sub, querying, or just finished YOU WROTE A BOOK think of those relatives who say "Oh yeah, I've been meaning to write a book someday--" you actually did take pride in that

Anyone who promoted Trump’s false claims of 2020 election fraud should not be the Attorney General of the United States.

Quiz: is this my puppy or a stuffed animal? Bonus question: does he look cute or crazy? The correct answer is both.

A very shaggy puppy who looks a little deranged but is also very cute

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

You know that feeling people talk about when they don't want a book to end? Yeah, I don't usually experience that. But somehow, about halfway through EXIT WEST by Mohsin Hamid, I found myself wishing the book would just... slow down without actually slowing down. (1/2)
