T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 14/09/2026BUDDY was a fun, creepy movie. Like if Barny had a psychotic break. 000

T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I got rejected for an annual publication. The editor said they would hold onto it for consideration in 2027. So... not a rejection... yet. 110
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Divorced Dad Rock is a thing! I'm not divorced...yet, but I love this music. I totally hate Shrori, my fave Starbucks barista, for introducing me to this. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 16/08/2026HORRORSMITH MAGAZINE cover preview. It looks AWESOME!!! 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Back in Lexington, Kentucky, again for the first time since we bailed during COVID. I've enjoyed time with my wife, her sister and my mom. That is all. Goodbye Kentucky. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Gotta another spec fic writer in my class and her first submission is up. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Trying to get my linked in down to 100. I think I’m under 300 now. Facebook I only have about 70 “friends.” Trump helped whittle that list down a great deal. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I have no intention of ever following anymore than 100 people on any platform. 000

T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Done lots of different writing workshops and Gotham has best student writers IMO. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Yassss!!! This is great! I personally haven’t been harmed by it. I’m an amateur. The big names copped probably yawn over it but it firmly puts down these shitheads that think they have a right to do this and find readers to steal from. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Watched Backrooms with my daughter Monday night and enjoyed it. Several surprised screams but I wish I’d seen in theatre. I felt way too safe sitting at home on my couch. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 22/07/2026My teenage daughter agreed to see it with me when it comes out on my birthday weekend. My twenty-something son says it's too scary for him. ;-) 010
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I feel hopeless about anything going on with our federal government right now. I'm ashamed of the years I considered myself a Republican and shocked that any of them who oppose what is going on are silent. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 16/07/202675 pages into REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES and still really enjoying it. If I make it past 100, I might finish this thing. 001

T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Today I’m Killing it! 10 mile run, then some nice lady told me I have nice eyes, then B&N coffee person remembers me and said I’m eligible for a free tote! I hear everyone is carry their books around in this sexy tote bag these days. Now I’m sexy! 100
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I saved a life today! A frog has been hiding in our garage behind a bunch of shelves for a couple days. It would have eventually starved and died but I moved everything, caught him, and release him outside. Go me! 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I guess I’ll pick up “Her Boy” again and write about my favorite Waffle House waitress. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 05/07/2026My ~15k novelette has grown into a 21k+ novella, and I'm stuck on the resolution. The warlock who could potentially reverse the transformation of the protagonist's nephew managed to escape during the ritual. Now I'm left trying to figure out how the protagonists can "fix" this. 100
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Love these people and their music! youtu.be/d0aWNgj2GtI?...youtu.beLawrence - Rain Check ft. Quinn XCII (Stripped Down - Live)YouTube video by Lawrence 100
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Supergirl was fun. The writing was not great in places, but overall, it was a good movie IMO. 010
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 30/06/2026This fall, I'm thinking I won't do any classes or workshops, just write what I want, when I want, how much I want. I'm mostly writing dark spec fic and would love suggestions on workshops, etc. 200
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Didn't even get an honorable mention on my story "Ten Feet" that I submitted last quarter to "The Writers of the Future Contest." I worked harder on that story than on any other yet. I even got it edited by a pro. Just goes to show you how subjective things are. 100
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I like writing. I like going places. Maybe if I do it long enough, I can take others along. Someday. 100
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Really had fun writing today. No deadlines. No max word counts. Just write about stuff I’m enjoying. Longer stuff that I will put aside and edit later. But for now, just enjoy the ride. That is why I write. To go somewhere. Someday, I hope my writing is able to take others along. 000

T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Tabletop RPGs, Dutch Blitz, reading, and writing all give me an escape from the voices telling me to be afraid of this world I live in. 010
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Wife hit me this for Xmas, but thankfully I don’t scream. My heart goes out to all of you trying to make a living at this wonderful thing called writing. I could not enjoy the process if I needed to pay my bills with my output. 200
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I really look forward to debugging AI generated slop from poor software engineers that created a mess then bailed. I’m used to this but now it’s so much easier for these people to make a big mess. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Accountability is for things you don't love to do. If you need accountability for a hobby, it ain't a hobby. I really just don't get people complaining about needing someone to keep them accountable for writing. If it's not fun enough to want to do it on your own and no one is paying you for it... 100
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Watched Black Phone 2 with my daughter yesterday afternoon. Not quite as good as the first one IMO, but not bad. 000
T. W. Crone @twcrone.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Wrapped up some writing on a supernatural investigative horror mystery story, and Scrivener shows 666 words for today thus far. Is that a sign to stop or keep going? 000
