Me and Julia Whelan had so much fun talking and laughing about writing, Hollywood, sex scenes, and why you might want to make sure your outdoor speakers are off when you’re listening to erotic romance. #books #audiobooks #writing youtu.be/ktGY3XeFkcI?... Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/DWNOLpodcast

Anyone else feel this way?

Every global economy runs on the same basic engine: 1. People want things. 2. People lie about what they want. 3. Someone writes a book about the wreckage. I’m definitely step 3. #WritingCommunity #writing #thoughtoftheday

At some point in history, kings, popes, and generals all decided they were chosen by God. Modern version: guy who says “I’m just brutally honest” before being emotionally lazy for three years. Different centuries. Same red flags. #history #writing

My marketing strategy is to just share the joy. I watched this interview with Chris Moore 25 times at least while editing it. Still holds up. Bit.ly/DWNOLpodcast

I admit I enjoy it when people share things about themselves online. But I cringe when they do it badly #writing

Writing happens even when you’re not #writing.

I have obviously sworn so many times when I’m dictating notes, that when I say the word “flux”—which I say a lot in the novel I’m currently writing—my Mac automatically translates it to “fuck.” #writing

I’ve been on a reading jag lately and I have to tell you, I’m happier as a person than when I’m NOT on a reading jag. #books

I picked a bad time to keep caring about my country.

I once nearly drove Val Kilmer over a cliff, driving him to ADR for the Doors because his house in HW Hills—the dirt drive was barely wide enough for a car. We survived. Whenever he was in LA, he’d call me to get together to talk ideas. He was weird. Intense. And very funny. RIP, Val.

It never occurs to narcissists that their vanity might expose them to ridicule. Meet the F-47. Which to my eye, is the slightly more polite version of: the Fuck Trump

Marco looks like a kid forced to dress up for a family gathering. He also looks like he’s been stress eating since Inauguration Day. #zelensky

When Gene Hackman was developing his hilarious character for Get Shorty, he was channeling his (and my) business manager, Edgar Gross. Look. Teeth. Some mannerisms. Edgar’s pic is from ~12 years after Get Shorty. Hackman was a deadringer for Edgar in 1995.

Before my first sale to a major studio, I did odd jobs for people who'd later be my business managers. Gene Hackman was a client. He was charming AND a loner. I got locked in his car pulling it out of storage—battery. “Thanks for not kicking out the windshield—I’d have to give half to my ex-wife.”

I think we should require ALL criminals to self-report (or face prosecution). I can’t imagine why we haven’t thought of this before.

The author's mom was in my high school class, and is one of the most deeply kind and principled people I've known. This story of a journey in faith is so rewarding to read, and exemplifies what (I think) Jesus would want us to do. The last paragraph made me cry. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A grifter and a despot walk into a peace summit... Oumageddon is back (if only to keep me sane). #OMG #Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar

Whenever someone in fiction declares, "LONG LIVE THE KING!” It never turns out well for somebody. Well, Armageddon is back (to keep me sane). #OMG #OMGTheNextBatch #King

Looks like somebody brought their bodyguard to the holiday party. “Don’t mess with my presents.” 🎁 #HappyNewYear #writing

Every year I tell myself I’ll be ready early. And every year, I’m running around to a half dozen stores on Christmas Eve, fighting for the last scented candle like it’s The Hunger Games. #MerryChristmas #writing

Great art takes great risk. A look at how the mediocrity of tech world “geniuses” is killing creativity. It’s nothing new. It’s just been vastly unimproved. #thealgorithm #writing #art #film www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

The Redwood Room in San Francisco is a post-holiday party tradition. Also great for hosting nefarious tech overlord cabal meetings. #holiday #writing

First ever tornado warning in San Francisco right after a flood warning and a tsunami warning? Cool, what chapter of Revelation are we on? #vaguelybiblical #SanFrancisco #writing

Do people suck more now than they used to or do the suckiest people have more access to me and/or my attention via technology than they used to? #peoplesuck

Who says cursive is not alive and well.

As my client and friend @edwardsavio.com always says, "It's not the history that's written, it's the rewritten history we need to worry about."

Just a few flurries, they said. #snow #writing At least it’s not a #tsunami

This is one of those easy to understand problems—it’s only taken 40 years for us to realize the roots of it.

I some times feel like social media is a lot of us going: “Okay, so… Every stupid idiotic thing I’ve ever thought…” Posting in 3, 2, 1… #writing #thoughts #feelings
