Say you read one book a month. If you buy the book at your indie, it might cost a few more dollars than from a megaretailer. Now imagine if 9 more people in your community made that switch. What may feel like a small thing is often actually big, especially when we work together 💓

We were on the receiving end of some particularly combative anti-American hostility in Germany today. A first for us, but not unexpected. We could only shrug and go on about our business.

Was watching Kolchak. In this episode. Mr. R.I.N.G. is a robot that becomes sentient and kills its creator rather than be dismantled. It was made by the Tyrell Institute. I guess the writers of BLADE RUNNER were Kolchack fans. youtu.be/htg5nWtto2c?...

Long ago, in 2010, bacon was a meme. That was the meme. Just bacon. We also drew silly mustaches on our fingers, as was the fashion at the time.

Just had to tell another writer a weird truth - you will be constantly surprised by who does and does not support your work. Close friends will scoff or ignore it. Casual acquaintances may become your biggest champion. But all that matters is that you're writing what you love.

I just found a hard drive full of novels and novellas I wrote as far back as 2014. None of them made it past the 2nd draft. Im going to try to whip some of them into shape.

This move has sucked the life out of me. It's been almost a year since I've played D&D. At least a month since I've had any video game time. My agony is is bottomless.

The BOOK OF ELI would've been way more interesting if he was smuggling something cool, like MAD magazine or some X-Men comics. "Wait. We're post-apocalypse and you bring me THE BIBLE?! Not a book on growing your own food or water purification or survival medicine?? Fuck off, Eli."
