Go buy Mexicans on the Moon. It's a wonderful collection.

Finally finished that opening chapter to the surprise novel. I need to make one change before I go onto chapter two. I realized my MC, love her to pieces, is too in her head. She needs someone to talk to when she's "alone." So I'm giving her a Xolo. His name is Dado.

Didn't even know the BBC had done a documentary on John Wyndham until today. By all means, enjoy with me. #ScienceFiction youtu.be/K9WPP-5jemA?...

Breaking | Irish President Michael D. Higgins calls on Israel and the countries supplying it with weapons to be excluded from the United Nations, urging an immediate halt to trade with those committing crimes against humanity.

And mailing lists can get turned over if the right pressures from the right places get applied. Do with that what you will also.

So it looks as though I'm actually doing this. 1250 words yesterday. 1250 words today. Still in chapter one of this surprise novel...and I am on the precipice of absolutely ruining this poor young woman's life.

Out today in the UK and US from @titanbooks.bsky.social Links: www.garethlpowell.com/who-will-you...

If you start a novel today, September 15th, and write 740 words every day from here to the end of December, you'll have a first draft of a novel (just under 80k). Don't take my word for it though. @jendiagammon.bsky.social did the math two years ago. Just saying. Do with that what you will.

I love multi-lingual wordplay... 😆😂🤣💀

Hanging out with people who aren't like you can seriously improve your sense of humor, taste in food, taste in music, and broaden your understanding of what the human experience can be. Hanging out with people who aren't like you, however, can seriously damage your prejudices and preconceptions.

I love libro.fm and you should switch your monthly membership to them

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

"Political violence has no place in our society" except when it gets taken to Burger King by the police. Except when it becomes illegal to celebrate victims of violence. Except when it's time to certify elections. Don't EVEN w/ "no place in our society." The US was built on political violence.

Hey y’all, I somehow made it into this anthology! Check out that TOC. 🩷

Still don't think any poet has ever gone harder than Emily Brontë.

Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS! Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot. Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

The SCP Foundation is a massive horror/sci-fi writing collaboration where every "story" is a file about a specific anomalous object, event, or creature. You don't have to read them in order. So I wrote a post on the 10 scariest ones you can check out. Enjoy. 😊 theangrynoodle.com/terrifying-s...

Finally watching the Mr. Mercedes series they made a few years ago based on Stephen King's Bill Hodges Trilogy. Worth watching for Brendan Gleeson's performance alone.

Yeah these bastards don't care. They're sociopathic egotists, who just want to be in charge to push their agendas and beliefs on as many people as they can, regardless of any truth behind their beliefs.

In the wake of everything PA went through (if you haven't read her post on the subject, do so), I'm of a similar frame of mind. Thankfully, there are still other zines. Hopefully, things resolve for the better soon, and the publications become stable, viable options again.

I'm scared I will draw the Wrath of the Fanboys, but... this week on my newsletter I wrote about why I think the "Golden Age of Science Fiction" writers have so little appeal to a huge swathe of today's SF/F writers & readers. undercover-in-the-apocalypse.ghost.io/this-is-why-...

My story in COSTS OF LIVING is a rare venture into Chicago writing for me. It is about those grotesque Midwest millipedes that invade our homes every summer. I hope you will share this post and support this book! #horrorsky #booksky #booklaunch #horror #anthology #shortstories #fiction

Wanna know why writers can't take compliments about their work? It's because the process of getting their work into the world made them cynical. You can only hear "This rejection in no way reflects on your abilities," so many times before thinking everyone giving you a compliment is full of shit.

If you had the choice to live in either the Star Trek or Star Wars universes, you'd be an absolute imbecile not to choose Star Trek.

As cybercrime surges around the world, new research increasingly shows that ransomware is evolving as a result of widely available generative AI tools.

If anyone hears anything about publishing venues willing to take fantasy novelettes (besides the usual suspects), let me know.

Asking a fascist choad to stop lying is like asking a pile of horseshit to stop stinking.

We're not afraid of death. Regardless of your views on an afterlife, death is fundamentally peaceful. We're afraid of leaving things unfinished. Affairs in disarray. Conflicts unresolved. Promises unfulfilled. Dreams unrealized. So, as long as we can, we say two words to death: not today.
