While I understand the anger when someone steals or repurposes your art, you have to understand that if you put it online, it's like dropping it in the middle of the town square and walking away. Anyone can grab it, copy it, change it, claim it as their own. Sadly, you have to expect it will happen

Zenni used to have killer sales, now it's buy three pairs that cost $50+ to save a relatively paltry 25%. I remember when it used to be 30%+ on EACH pair.

UPDATE!: Due to Amazon weirdness, I cannot have the ebook Alternative Dictionary on sale for 99 cents on the 24th of May... So it will be FREE on that day! Watch this space, it might not be the only book that ends up free for a day. 😊

Memorial Day Sales coming up: All 17 of my ebooks will be on sale for only 99 cents in a lead-up to Memorial Day. Why wait for the weekend when you can save all week long! I want you to read what I write. Each sale is 24 hours starting at 12am CST. See the reply for a list of books. #booksale

One of the great mysteries.... Dealerships sell mostly gray cars because that's what people want. Most people BUY gray cars because that's ALL THERE IS and they want it now. I used to work at a dealership. Anything brightly colored we brought in sold in DAYS. Others? Weeks.

What a perfect time to make a point 😊 Why have a sale just on Memorial Day? I'll have one all week! Starting tomorrow. My novels After and After: Requiem will be available for ONE DOLLAR in ebook format for 24 hours starting at 12am PST. www.amazon.com/dp/B06XSN4CLH

Goldenhourminerals is being cheeky, so I will be, too. Simply, they are an overpriced boutique catering to an unaware clientele. They are selling a stone similar to this for over four times the price. Avoid.

This, but writing.

I don't even make that much when I sell a book, even a paperback. Two dollars, more or less. I make them as cheap as I reasonably can.

I remember other writers actually getting ANGRY at me on Twitter because I said I didn't want people to buy my books unless they were going to read them. I'll NEVER make a living off of them. I just want to share my work. If that means fewer sales, then whatever, you know?

One of my favorite books is a book about hauntings that I bought secondhand. Like new, but it was a Chicago public library book. I read my original trade paperback copy until it literally fell apart.

One time I wondered "why should we put a limit on how much the player can zoom-out?" this was the result 😅 #indiedev #gamedev

Repost if you’d like me to represent the UK at #Eurovision 2027.

🤣 I can't even. Mr. Bill spotted in the dog toy section at the local Hyvee.

Just noticed Bluesky is trying to be Twitter with the gatekeeping checkmarks. Be "notable" in your field. Nice. I can feel myself drifting away from here already...

"Use our app! It looks and works exactly like the website on your phone, but somehow slightly worse!" No, thank you.

Also confusing for me: 476 people have purchased After in ebook or paperback, but only 2 have purchased its sequel, After: Requiem. After averages 4 stars or more. People genuinely seem to enjoy it. Why is nobody interested in the sequel? It's even mentioned in the backmatter of After, now.

I'll always ask why this is. Obviously, there's a strong uptake on the first book, especially with a cheap entry point. But why do only a fourth of customers ever finish the series? Nobody has ever reached out to me to give me an opinion, so I suppose it's unknowable. Frustrating.

Nostalgia triggers fond memories of the past because we already know how the story ends. We can easily pick out the good parts of the story and ignore the bad. It's hard to do that in the present, and we can't know how the story ends, but we can still seek out the good parts to make it feel better.

Amused by all the folks I see that are deeply concerned that they've only read X number of the greatest novels or whatever. I'm pretty sure it's okay if you've read zero of them. There are thousands upon thousands of other books, too. Just read. That's good enough.

Bowie, the master, this video seems more accurate by the day. "I'mafraid of Americans" by David Bowie youtu.be/LT3cERVRoQo?...

I'm seeing a lot of artists and writers (myself included) being too tired, burnt out, depressed to do any work. It's like watching the light going out in a dying world.

Every Friday night I watch music videos and nearly every Friday I finish with "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton. Seriously, they gonna play that shit at my funeral. Good stuff.

Absolutely mind blown to discover that Apple has 75% of the smart phone market in the US. The rest of the world is relatively opposite to that. Even China, Apple's largest foreign customer is at 22%. The US really is an island. I'm android, btw. 😅

I've been borrowing a BUNCH of CDs from the library lately, putting any I find interesting on hold today I walked up to the counter with 30 CDs and a book and someone said, "Oh, it's YOU." I can't go back

The first book I wrote was also my first novel, After. It revolves around a boy fresh out of high school that wakes up unaware that the world ended fifty years prior. He wanders alone into the desert looking for answers, and his parents. www.amazon.com/dp/B06XSN4CLH

Is it just me, or does the trailer for Masters of the Universe look like something born out of someone using AI to make a Masters of the Universe movie trailer? It seriously looks like AI, all of it. Terrible CGI, heavily edited lore, Jared Leto... SUPER HARD pass.

Remember the good old days when all you had to do was remove the plastic wrap?

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. Four of the creatures pictured are currently available in my shop. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

If you're a completionist and read all of my books, then you can (safely) read Humbug Revealed, conveniently also available in a Fat Free edition. I love connecting things and hiding Easter eggs in my books. THIS book is your cheat sheet to it all. www.amazon.com/dp/B0G1L5RZFQ

WEIRD LUCK is a webcomic about what happens when your job involves keeping reality from getting too weird, but you suffer from a condition that causes reality to get weird around you. It's free to read, but you can support our work by recommending it to folks if you like it! weirdluck.net/about/

Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works, if you'd like. And feel free to tell us about it. Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

Kids read. It's just text messages and social media posts. But they do read. Often at stop signs while driving. But they are reading...

If ads can't keep the internet afloat, then what's next?

Registering copyright matters. It's the only reason I was able to join the class action lawsuit against Anthropic over my book Preservation Protocol. I'm poor, but I always register novels. I could see a 3,000% return on my fee for this one.

I got my decent car. Now I need my house. ... Houses are stupidly expensive here. Maybe in another twenty years? I'd be 65 💀

Humbug Revealed is hands down one of my most favorite projects. Graphic arts, writing, layout... a little of everything I love!

You weren't poor unless you were "gallon jugs for floaties" at the lake poor.

An interesting article on time (or the lack thereof?) As someone that increasingly feels short of it, I found this quite interesting. www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

I waited so many decades to finally be able to afford a car payment and now I just REALLY REALLY want to pay it off. 😆 It's mind-blowing to have a car less than ten years old, though.

I'm still not entirely sure how I ended up with seventeen published books, but here we are. Hopefully I can crawl out of my funk and make it eighteen.

I come into everything too late. I need to invent time travel so I can send myself a list of things to do earlier in my life. Seriously, it would be funny if it wasn't so disappointing.

I'm just one (1) sale away from reaching 40 KDP sales of my newest novella!! It's a tiny milestone, but I'm still proud of it. 💞 Repost my lil book and help me get some traction? I'd love to hit this goal! 🥰

A modern day love letter to Neverending Story, now with a sequel! www.amazon.com/dp/B08GYJBPN5

If I get the full settlement on Preservation Protocol from Anthropic it will make it my most profitable book by a factor of ten. 😆

It's fascinating the people that say extraordinary things that beg for a response, yet they limit who can respond. Seeking an echo chamber? Or perhaps don't want to hear they're wrong...

I was worrying about AI before it was cool. Check out Preservation Protocol and the No Road Home series for a peek at what the future could look like for artificial beings... amazon.com/author/jpres...

Imagine my surprise when I learned Preservation Protocol was scraped by Anthropic's Claude. AI reading a sci-fi book about advanced AI. At least he has good taste.
