If Kamala Harris decides to run in 2028, she's a far better person than me. Because if I went out of my way to try to help someone -- or 340 million someones -- when I didn't have to, when it was practically thrust upon me, and got spat on for my efforts? Nah, y'all on your own after that.

I'm seeing my primary care doctor next month. Routine visit, bloodwork, prescription renewal, etc. But I'm also gonna ask if she can refer me to a therapist. Too much anger and dread. Therapy was a godsend for me when I was in college, and I need to start going again.

This is legitimately one of the biggest reasons for the existential malaise I've been stuck in for the last several months. I think this might be what my midlife crisis looks like. No sports car, just dread.

Don't skip brain day.

Understand for the vast majority of us, removing our books off Amazon will hurt. Even if we're widely distributed. My books are available in several places, but 90% of my sales still come from Amazon. I get boycotts are supposed to be uncomfortable, but we need to be mindful of who we're hurting.

Live your life in such a way that the world celebrates if you make it to 100. Not in such a way that the world desperately waits to celebrate your departure.

It was a long week at work, so we're getting lazy for #caturday this week.

I've been asked, if I love racing so much, why I haven't written a story around it yet. But I have! 🏎 It's called "Life at the Speed of Time," and it appeared in the anthology Cracks in the Tapestry. 👇

I didn't have much of an opinion on the merits of the lawsuit; I try not to comment on things I don't really understand. I'm just glad the whole thing is over, and we'll get back to racing in '26 without the specter of all this hanging over us. Bring on Bowman Gray and Daytona. #NASCAR

The happiest people in Charlotte today? The jury in the #NASCAR antitrust case. 😅

I have this issue where, when I get an idea for a post that's kind of about my books but not really, I'm met with my arch nemesis, the "nobody cares" voice. And I'm ashamed to admit, that voice is well over .500 against me.

Full disclosure: I've decided to pass on enrolling my books in the Smashwords End of Year Sale in 2025. The event has historically not been great for me, and I want to put my energy toward a more active and fruitful 2026. Don't let that stop you from buying my books, though!

WRITING TIP: If you feel the inescapable itch to write, but nothing done when you sit in front of your WIP, try journaling. Any topic you want, no one ever has to see it. Just you, your pen, and the page.

I've gotten better at spotting social media bait, blocking, and moving on without engaging. A lot of us could stand to learn this trick.

I love snow. When I don't have to go anywhere. Just sit by the window, a streaming mug in my hands, and watch the flakes fall.

Some days, you journal more than you write. But the words are still getting put to paper. The mind is still emptying onto the page.

Movie you've watched more than six time with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Something to keep in mind as you do your holiday shopping. 👇

Poetry's hard, y'all. 😅 But when I feel like I've nailed it, or at least have a good foundation, the confidence boost is unlike any I've experienced before.

There are worse ways to spend a chilly Sunday without race cars.

Any day in which I can write, read, and journal is a good day.

"All the time in the world" seems like just yesterday.

I write to make sense of a world that doesn't operate the way it should, the way it promises us it does.

QTP with your favorite Jedi (wrong answers only)

Rage, simmering, low heat Each headline, turn it up a notch Breaking news, cracking eggs Broken shells, broken souls Scrambled minds lead to a scrambled society The oil spits and spills over Cries of injustice The sizzle of humanity At its best And its worst At the mercy of the bland, the unseasoned

I'm looking to revamp my non-fiction book THE ART OF READING. Both because I know I can do a better job with it, and because we need to advocate for reading, and literacy in general, now more than ever. Second Edition coming... at some point!

I need to make a sign: "Remember who owns our TV stations and newspapers."

When I wrote SUMMERTIME, I was worried I'd depict the lesbian romance "through the male gaze." Thankfully, my editor, @cknightwrites.bsky.social, helped make sure that wouldn't be the case. Don't be afraid to ask others about your blind spots when writing!

The TV show Castle is absolutely copaganda, but it also weirdly undercuts copaganda. Because half the time, the big break in the case, the "outside the box" stroke of genius, comes from the civilian consultant with no law enforcement training -- not the characters with the badges.

I do often feel like I don't really belong in the book community, as unknown and poor selling as I am. But there is the fringe benefit of often not knowing what's going on with the latest drama du jour.

Once again, Target is doing everything possible ✨️except✨️ reversing the one decision that led to the boycott in the first place. The head is buried so far in the sand, it's tickling their kneecaps.

#LateNightWrite I've been creative as long as I can remember, and being able to use the written word to express what can't otherwise be expressed has been a balm for my mental health, and sharing my words with others is more healing than I'd anticipated. I will be heard, dammit.
