Walking by a high school with one of my 3yo’s, the Star, she hears music playing. Star: I want to go there. Me: That’s a school for big girls. Are you a big girl? Star: No, I’m very small. #parenting

Dear Communist China, Nothing that happened during the Imperial period reflects on you in any way. Mao got y’all to burn every vestige of the empire that you could get your hands on. Stop taking credit for the accomplishments of the regime you tried to erase. It’s embarrassing.

Writing is so weird because you sit down to write some classic pulp, comic book story and you end up meditating on grief.

“If an old man is the sky is the only thing keeping you from killing, you aren’t a good person.” Yes, darling, that’s one of the central tenets of Christianity. If we were good people, we’d have no need of salvation, would we?

“We didn’t start the war with #Iran, okay? Yes, we struck first but those were preemptive strikes. Pre! It’s the emptive strike that starts the war. If Iran hadn’t fired back, this wouldn’t be a ‘war’. Iran started it!”

Syfy’s #Revival series isn’t half as intense as the comic. Tim Seeley and Mike Norton had us scared of this miracle because the revivers kept mutilating themselves. The TV show isn’t giving revival a downside. There’s no sense of mystery to it because the revivers are so normal. Not bad, though.

Fantasy needs more fantasy. I want a fantasy mystery not like “who poisoned the queen” but “why do magic doors keep appearing in the city and dropping people into volcanos?”

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

“How did we get here?” We’ve been here! What do you think Black Lives Matter was about? The Patriot Act? The Clinton Crime Bill? Nixon’s drug scheduling? Jim Crow? America always had “undesirables” that we found ways of getting rid of. You didn’t notice until they started killing whites.

A beta reader objected to me using racial slurs when my white supremacist villain narrates. It made her uncomfortable. Here’s the thing: If we tone down racism to make it more palatable, it doesn’t seem so bad. #amwriting #writing #indieauthor #racism #writingcommunity
