I love when the ‘Zon puts one of my books on a sale price. Maybe it’s due to increased traffic from Horror Con? #books www.amazon.com/Mostly-Human...

Curious if any of you will be attending Horror Con LA this weekend? #horror #horrorcon

Vocabulary of The Omnist series, part VII: Who are Executive Saints? Regular attendees of Consumia’s Spiritual Emporium—Consumerians—who “level up” their status by paying monthly subscriptions. #bookseries #spirituality

Show a pic from the 90s: Too-skinny, baby Rob, early 90s, and 50 lbs lighter. Also, I forgot that shirt existed. #90s

“I’m whore.” Is that about me or the barista? It actually stands for Irishman Mocha w whole milk. But that’s not fun. #coffee #writing

So cool! I received an awesome crystal-inlaid coffin gift from a friend who is reading The Omnist series. She’s now on book five, Wide-Eyed Wyatt’s Liquid Nap. Saw this, thought of Coffin Club. Sent. Thank you! #bookseries #coffinclub #theombist

Social media crap I disregard completely or block: "Let that sink in" My comprehension is top level. "Wait for it" I watch 100% but that one triggers a block. "I don't know who needs to hear this, but" Get the f off your soapbox. Let people figure things out. Blocked, too.

If writing makes me happy (it does!), then I shouldn’t be disappointed that I haven’t achieved a million sales and reads yet. Stress is the enemy of my happiness. #writing #motivation

Vocabulary and characters of The Omnist universe, part VI: Who is Yksian? A scientific/spiritual theorist and philosopher Omniscian at CSE. Is he a vampire? Nearly seven feet tall (including boots and hat) with the slowest and deepest voice. #books #philosophy #fiction

Revising my 7th novel. Not much about balancing vibes, exposition, and action gets easier. Despite thickened skin for editor’s notes over time, the problems she highlights still reach my core. #writing

My book series has influenced the names of my music playlists. #inspiration

When I hear a song where the vocals are loud, too upfront, I just picture the singer’s fat head, all face, right in front of me, obstructing tiny images of the rest of the band. Safe to say I’m not a fan. #music #newmusic #popsongs

Vocabulary of the Omnist universe, part V: What is Coffin Club? An event where Consumerians (often terminally ill) build their own bespoke coffins and caskets. Paint birds on it. Airplane cockpit. Dodger blue with LA logos. A lifesize skeleton.

Whenever I’m arguing w myself, I get the sense one of me isn’t telling the other the whole truth. #humor #writing

The Omnist Vocabulary, part IV: The messages sent to users by the Omnist app are called Motes. #books #spirituality #motvation

I buy books in order to cure the anxiety caused by too many books TBR. #books #writingcommunity

Vocabulary/characters, part III: The namesake of Consumia’s Spiritual Emporium. Basically, when a capitalistic skeptic opens a store that sells pretend magic, real magic finds her. #writingcommunity

I may have coined a term: #writing uphill. This is when someone tries to write smarter than they are. Bricklaying vocabulary, obtuse jargon, overtly formal sentences. Shoehorning “amongst” or “utilize” (when “use” will do), or phrases like “a pic of Dad and I.” It’s more fun “riding downhill.”

Vocabulary of The Omnist universe, part II: The Omnist app… #books #writingcommunity

Just for fun, l've decided to begin describing the vocabulary of The Omnist series- the people, places, things, and concepts that make it so real and so surreal. CSE is an easy one. The Omnist, Lucador, Coffin Club, and others are coming soon! #books #coffinclub #theomnist

“It’s not bragging if you can back it up.” Uh, yes, it is. That is the literal definition of bragging. If you cannot back it up, you’re delusional. #influencer #bragging

Our friends at Cafe Barra/Le French Rooster in Burbank is now carrying books from The Omnist series. Yay! I feel seen! They're located on Olive just east of Buena Vista. (Less than a mile from Tony's) #books #coffee #theomnist #coffinclub

Hawalian skull shirt, cats and skeletons tee, Executive Saint pin, and The Omnist pendant w my daughter's snake's skin shed. I have a theme today. #goth #cats

Guess who’s exhibiting at HorrorCon LA? Ok, don’t. But there will be The Omnist books, tees, pins, necklaces, and keychain bottle openers. Plus, I’ll be signing! #books #horror #coffinclub horrorconla.com

Coffee is the writer’s co-pilot #writer #coffee

One of my favorite times to write is during the month that my editor has my latest book. No deadlines, reuniting w old characters, nurturing ideas that didn’t fit with the last one. Mid-July, I return to revisions... #writing #spitballing

Sent my editor the latest book, but after revising for a couple 11-12 hr days, I don’t want to stop. I guess I’m working on the next book this evening. #writing #brainstorming

In a former life, I made enough $ and was busy enough to hire a house cleaner. (I’m in a tiny apt now) I liken readying my MS for my editor to cleaning up for the HC. I don’t want her wasting precious time doing things like picking up dirty clothes. 12 hrs of MS preparation begins now. #writing

Of course, I’m a writer because: I’m too tired to write during the day And too awake to sleep at night Which makes me too tired to write during the day And night #writerscommunity #writing

I just spent 3-4 hrs preparing the new book for my editor, then, while eating, had an OCD moment about Halloween in May. So I made this. TBH, it was a question I asked quite a few couples at Spooky Swap Meet. #writingcommunity #halloween #cats #witches

Overheard: Customer: I’ll have a whiskey. Bartender: That kind of week, huh? They both laugh. C: Yeah, better make it a well. B: Sh!t, it’s worse than I thought. #bar #writing #whiskey

I love that lexical funambulism is exactly that. #nerd #vocabulary #writing

Listen like no one is vilifying. Write like no one is listening. #today #motivation #writing

These are a few of the awesome new Consumerians we met at Spooky Swap Meet…there were many more. We had a blast! #writerscommunity

But what if we do, indeed, need another hero? Like, now? #tinaturner #hero #help

It's finally happened! I'd believed all those years of watching cartoons and Gilligin's Island quicksand situations would never be needed. Rock hunter rescued after sand nearly swallows him on northern Michigan beach. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Coffee and Blood. Connie accuses Yksian of being a vampire. Consumia’s Spiritual Emporium will be at Spooky Swap Meet in LA April 25-27 #vampires #books #horror #comedy

Would “Rivers Phoenix and Cuomo” be grammatically correct? #genx #writingcommunity #grammar

Support indie authors! Yes, I’ll admit saying that is self-serving, but we all need it. A rising tide and boats and stuff. #indiewriters

Guyliner and Hillary hair: Stills from the upcoming satire commercial for Consumia’s Spiritual Emporium. We are cosplaying Yksian Tapiola and Connie Martinez, characters from The Omnist book series. Spooky Swap Meet is in LA April 25-27 Dir: Ryan Valdez #cosplay

At Consumia's Spiritual Emporium (in the book series, The Omnist), these pins would cost a lot of money, a yearly membership fee. But they're way cheaper through me. We'll be at the Spooky Swap in LA meet April 25-27. #goth @gaiakp.bsky.social

Two of the greatest albums ever, Oasis, vinyl inspiration for witting. #vinyl

If you write about the process of writing, then write about that pain of writing about writing, will we achieve a mental singularity and implode? Asking for a friend. #writingcommunity

Mind on paper feels better than mind in brain. #writing

2.5 k words yesterday. I will not hit that number in the 2 hrs I have until work, but hopefully it’ll be significant. #writing
