Would I like to attend your meeting where you teach us how to use AI to make videos? No, I’d rather crawl a marathon over broken glass, thanks.

Gonna be another 2k word day. This book is flowing out of me like a revival sermon, fitting since it’s about a swamp preacher giving voice to something older than the mire itself.

EMPLOYEE: You doing another weird one? ME: I'll never do a normal one, I promise Downshifting into coming once a week because 2-3X is cutting into my writing time, but if you want a personalized copy of FEEDING THE WHEEL, order directly from @gibsonsbookstore.bsky.social tinyurl.com/bdzcpsxh

Today we're sharing our sixth issue, featuring seven authors and one visual artist who have contributed their weird and wonderful work. Read more at www.weirdlitmag.com/. P.S. We once again received a record number of submissions. Thanks again to all who shared their stories with us!

Shit. Turns out running, lifting weights, meal prepping, and limiting beer intake will make you have to buy new clothes. Still got a ways to go, but happy with the progress.

Getting a list together of all the books I’ve read on Kindle or listened to on audio so that I can buy physical copies to go in my little home library.

Another successful jaunt through the bookstore complete. We bring the kids at least twice a month and I just love the tradition.

This book fucks. Preorder it. Grab a copy of THE PALE HOUSE DEVIL if you haven’t read it. Thank me later.

My wife had a student tell her they were just going to use AI on their practice quiz. My wife told them that outsourcing to AI makes you dumber. The student then did 20 minutes of research trying to disprove my wife, just to realize my wife was right.

Oh, thank the lord, it’s Peacemaker night

Oh good, just a nice little incident at my kid’s school. Student telling classmates they had a gun in their bag. No big deal, totally something we just have a stern conversation about and move on from 🙄

So the Disney/Hulu/ESPN bundle is $29.99/month. For no reason at all, I'd like to point out that you can get our entire 2025 lineup, or all 4 issues of THE SKULL & LAUREL in eBook, for less than that. No reason🖤☠️ store.tenebrouspress.com/products/202... store.tenebrouspress.com/products/the...

I am so sick, but I somehow hallucinated my way through writing 2k words. Now bed.

Nothing like a random half day for the kids to throw the whole day into a tailspin.

This book fucks. Read The Pale House Devil, and then grab this one. Super fun stuff.

A long time ago I built an automation that crawls emails in my inbox for the word “unfortunately” and pushes them into a folder called Bad News.

HACKERS is why I do what I do for a job

A six-month sabbatical in a cabin up on the northern Maine coast would fix about 70% of my problems.

I’m currently ripping through THE FLESH KING (ARC) by @richardkadrey.bsky.social, and all I’m going to say is I would welcome 78 more of these stories.

I got a little bored while drinking beer and watching football, so I programmed Asteroids using Python.

This is happening everywhere. I had one of my MBA professors reach out to chat a while ago. We talked AI (he teaches it, I have an MS in software engineering) and he said: Kids are doing papers with ChatGPT and teachers are using ChatGPT to grade them. Undergrad classes are becoming useless.

Feeling some FOMO about not being able to make it to the Spooktastic Book Fair today. If you’re within driving distance of Framingham, MA you should get your booty over there for me.

This was a very fun book. Go preorder a signed & personalized copy.

Just so y’all are aware, there’s an entire website dedicated to doxxing anyone who speaks ill of Charlie Kirk. Don’t let that stop you from being you, but you might want to check it and consult an attorney if your name shows up.

My oldest child just looked up at the moon, illuminated in the morning sky, and said, “Waning gibbous, nice.” She’s 10.

I must have written 3500 words today just to edit them down to 2000. Feeling good about draft 2, but I can tell editing for future drafts is going to kill me.

You ever have a moment where you’re writing a character who is both incredibly lovable and integral to the story, and you realize you have to murder them crazy-style for the vibes?

This time of year is my favorite. Have I switched from (cargo) shorts to jeans yet? No. Do I need to wear a hoodie when I wait for the bus with the kids? Yes. I can feel the flannels calling to me.

WEAPONS on VOD today. Hope I can stay up late enough to watch it.

This book is really fun. I’m 70% through the ARC. You should for sure check it out.

I’m an all time Jack Carr hater (not really, I had like 2 bad review of his books and got branded) but this new Amazon show is pretty good.

I need to slow down on accepting ARCs. I’m sinking in literary quick sand right now. (Loving them all, btw).

We really appreciate everyone sharing about our fundraiser, it’s helping us climb. Not much time left, and the stories are waiting to be told—we need your support!

Happy honkin weekend send us ur words 🪿🪿🪿 sillygoosepress.submittable.com/submit

Chapter 1 of the second draft of the swamp preacher novella is done. This 2k words per day thing is keeping the words flowing. It’s also nice finally knowing what the story is I’m trying to tell.

In three days, the surface world loses🪸💀 REEF MIND by @hazelzorn.bsky.social store.tenebrouspress.com

SHE RIDES SHOTGUN (2025) was a delight.

Tank is very sad that his Mama is out on a girls’ night.

You’re all going to find me crazy, but I started using version control software meant for software development to backup my writing (along with Box, and a physical hard drive).
