At some point today I’d like to stealthily cut through a glass museum display case that holds a medieval illuminated manuscript using my diamond ring.

Authors, this is your occasional reminder to never shut up about your books but also To talk about them a little differently each time. I just bought a book I’ve seen on the tl 20+ times. Something about the last promo just clicked for me. Not even sure what it was. Anyway NEVER SHUT UP

A reminder as NaNoWriMo begins that the org stated that criticizing AI is “classist and ableist” because… poor and disabled people can’t write? (They got an AI sponsor.) Meanwhile, Miyazaki saw AI, responded with a story about disability and humanity, and gave us the only response to AI we need:

Three screenshots of Hayao Miyazaki reacting to a showing of gen AI. He says, “I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all. I feel strongly that this is an insult to life itself. We humans are losing faith in ourselves.”

I like going to the cemetery early in the morning because, if you’re calm and patient, the skeletons will approach and even eat right out of your hand.

We turned our light off hours ago, but they’re still coming to our door, quietly begging. I think they like the flicker of our Jack-o’-lanterns. I can hear them murmuring as they work their fingers along the window casing. Ten hours till morning.

Some business tips for writers to help prevent heartbreak and exploitation: 1. Always ask for a contract before you commit to anything. Know what's expected, what's enforceable, and what's owed to you. 2. You may be friends or not with the person you're dealing with, but this is work. 1/

So, Boris Johnson’s memoir has tanked. Who cares? Not Boris, who keeps his 2m advance whether it pays out or not. Not HarperCollins, who get the kudos of bagging Boris. No, the people paying for this are all the other HarperCollins authors who get to subsidize him through lower advances and budgets.

Black cats are not bad luck. If you see a black cat & something bad happens after, it's because you have bad vibes, dude. The worst vibes, pal. Rancid vibes, bro.

The green lady, the hag, the old woman who haunts the edges between land and murky waters. The dark one who drags you down to the deep. To the heart of the dark lands. I have a fondness for swamp hags, for green ladies. #mabsdrawlloweenclub ##mdwc24d23

Sometimes, when the mood strikes me, I like to unwind by eating a piece of cheese. Feel free to use this coping strategy in your own life.

You have nothing to lose but your chains. So be super careful or else you won't have your cool chains anymore.

And this morning the Shed is a ride in an abandoned amusement park, in which long vines climb to dizzying heights among the roller-coaster rails, and the painted plaster heads of characters long forgotten gape and grin blackly through the undergrowth...

Please hire me to be your town sorcerer. I can paint subpar portraits of local raccoons. I can toss autumn leaves in the air at random times. I can speak ocean sounds into shells in order to recharge them. I can pick up litter and use it to make a papier-mâché behemoth with a thousand eyes.

For optimal health, it’s important to follow the 20x20x20 rule: -20 minutes of physical exercise -20 hours of recovering from the ordeal -20 days of rotting on the forest floor while the mossy mushrooms claim you, whispering you sweet mycelium promises, soothing you with decay

There are two sides to every story. And then there's usually a third side involving a twig witch, a moss goblin, and a forgotten kingdom in the old forest, but not too many folks know about that.

Don't give up on your dreams. If you wish to launch flaming pumpkins across the skies on Halloween in the traditional manner, you should start building your spooky catapults and terrifying trebuchets now.

And this morning the Shed is an archway at the back of a cemetery, half-hidden with brambles and climbing rose, which leads to another garden, with fallen headstones, falling leaves and broken angels, black with moss, sleepless in the twilight...
