One day I’ll figure it out. But in the meantime I’ll appreciate the books I read just a little bit more. #writing

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Extracting the story word-by-word, line by line, over a few months time: that’s the real skill. Being able to spin that same yarn without losing the reader’s (or writer’s) interest is a special kind of craft. #writing

Writers have my ultimate respect. I may have a 100,000 word story in me, but anytime I try to write it down my brain wants to dump its entire contents in a single 20 minute sitting. #writing

So by that logic, if I end up only writing one poem per year, am I still a poet? Even if it isn’t published? Even if it is only one stanza, 6 lines and 16 words total? Because I finally finished my first poem of the year. I hope for more this year but my focus has been fleeting.

If I learned anything from Josh Malerman’s book Watching Evil Dead, it’s that the act of writing itself makes you a writer. Sales or publishing record don’t decide if you are indeed a writer, they are just vehicles to be able to write more and afford living. @joshmalerman.bsky.social

Storm Forecast in Midwest = Stores are wiped out of Milk, Bread and Frozen Pizza Storm Forecast in Florida = Stores sell out of water and plywood boards. Guess what doesn’t sell out in either case? Bookstores. 🤣

I want to buy an old blockbuster video location, restore it to its glory days, and instead of stocking it with video, fill it with books. Particularly genre books. I will call it Blookbuster. Or Blockbookster. Or Blookbookster. #Blookbuster #Blockbookster #Blookbookster

I don’t discuss philosophy. I don’t study history. All I know is what’s past is past, and what’s ahead is ahead. The second is ka, and takes of itself. ~Roland, The Dark Tower, by Stephen King

Marvel missed out by not having a Loki variant from Timeline Six Seven named Lowkey: God of “Mid”schief. Crocodini Houdini. He won’t steal your keys but he’ll lose the lid to your OJ, no cap. “What is this pith? Where’s the Priiiime! I need hydrates deadass!”

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

And for the record, no I didn’t “help” the store out by putting the book into a more visible location. Not saying I wouldn’t, or haven’t done that. 😬 But not today! It was already there. was walking by and almost didn’t stop until I saw it. 😆

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

I can’t tell you how much joy I take in finding books from writers that I know at airports. It doesn’t matter if it’s the first time I have found a book of theirs or if they are a regular rotation, it’s always fun to see their work find a bigger audience.

Watching the morning lift of TSLA bros who think they are “buying the dip” only to watch the stock crash for the rest of the day has been my favorite form of doom scrolling. #MuskCrashElon #ElonCrashesEverything #ElonCrashedAgain #TSLAcrash

Whether it’s rockets, stocks, self-driving cars or parties: Elon has proven he’s excellent at crashing things.

Thanks! It’s been fun to put together. I collected the books over the past couple years but this is the first year I added the extra decorations. I kinda dig em 😁

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

This is amazing! I would have done it too 😆 (Hi Cat and Tony!)

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

Will 2025 be the year I start the writing discipline? Who knows. But to be honest I am not rushing it. I have much more genre to read—specifically chosen to learn style, pacing, world building, and character development—before I feel comfortable molding my own literary clay. #horrorwriting

111

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

I started 2024 thinking I would begin my writing journey. After a couple failed starts, I knew I needed to spend more time with the greats. I read and read (and read some more). The education has been life-changing. #horrorwriters #horrorauthors #horrorbooks

This story has deep, dark layers to it! It’s an amazing read. Can’t wait to dive in again when I get my production copy—with a badass @tjoneswriter.bsky.social signed postcard too (collecting full set might be a challenge..but that won’t stop me)

021

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

Thanks! I found it on Amazon and was disappointed at first that I had to build it from a kit, but turned out I had a lot of fun doing it. Same with the bookends.

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

Lol thanks! The Nice List is overrated this time of year 😆🎅🏻

My Dark Christmas collection is growing. I have a nice edition of Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol somewhere that will go up when I find it. I really like that UK edition of NOS4R2 (aka NOS4A2).

Anyone who knows Philip knows he is a writers’ writer and brings along his friends. So this readalong will not only center on PF’s release dates but a few releases from his circle of influence as well (see schedule below) #RoadiesReadalong #FracassiReadalong #YearOfFracassi

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

In addition THIRD RULE, @pfracassi.bsky.social is also releasing 2 new novels and 2 mass-market paperbacks in 2025. Many know Philip and love his works but many, many more will just start to know his writings this year. #RoadiesReadalong #FracassiReadalong #YearOfFracassi

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

Calling it now: 2025 will be the YEAR OF FRACASSI. The book THE THIRD RULE OF TIME TRAVEL, which releases 3/18/25, and the movie ALTAR from A24 (summer release? 🤞) will catapult his career to the next level. #RoadiesReadalong #FracassiReadalong #YearOfFracassi
