I'd say at least once a week I have an idea that makes me think "this is the one!" Just me?

Share a 90s film you think deserves more love.

Life is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone. I hear you call my name. And it feels like home.

I just backed small town gay bar redux on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/163...

I challenged myself to write a comic book script. So of course, I decided to do a Batman story. It's not something I will ever be able to sell most likely, but the goal was just to see if I could DO the thing, and I DID the thing. I don't think it's half bad either!

Putting it out there that I'm looking for a literary agent that can also handle screenplays & comics. I'm a published fiction/nonfiction author with 2 more projects under contract. I have short & feature scripts ready to go and several short and long pieces of fiction finished or in process.

Uncut a bunch of potatoes to make shoestring fries. They are soaking in the fridge now (had to do a LOT of reorganizing in there). Now I'm making some baked potatoes that I salt brined last night. Just pulled them to add some olive oil to the skins before putting them back in the oven to finish.

I've proven I can write: Non-fiction Fiction (including historical fiction) Short film scripts Feature scripts TV scripts Comic book scripts Marketing copy Film reviews Contracts and legal documents I need to finish some projects then focus on bigger steps forward in my career (like make actual $)

I finished writing my first comic book script! Sadly, I'm no artist and I can't afford one. So, if this is going to go anywhere, it's going to have to be on the strength of the script alone. I'm proud of this work. I never thought it would be something I could do.

Working on a comic book script that I had started a bit ago and put down because of contract deadlines on other books. I have too many works in progress right now and the executive dysfunction is real folks. Creatively I feel full but sitting down and doing it is like writing through mud.

I have a box of potatoes to process (baked, mashed, chips, and fries) because they're starting to turn a bit quicker than previous boxes, but I don't have any room in my fridge to brine and soak them. Not a real problem, but it's something I contend with.

STOP. this is a selfie checkpoint. you must repost with a cute selfie to proceed. Sorry folks. I'm not cute. There are not many pictures of me at events and stuff (I'm usually behind the camera). How I ever got married in the first place is 100% based on personality.

New pic drop of my pup Luna.

I'm now a published author of both fiction AND nonfiction and that feels pretty good. More coming out next year and two more books in the works!

My author copy of the anthology my first piece of fiction writing is in came today! Now I'm officially a published fiction and nonfiction author!

It's always a good Monday morning when it starts with your therapist saying you ARE NOT a narcissist...lol.

“The Librarians is ultimately a warning. It shows how quickly a political movement, convinced of its own righteousness, can begin using public institutions—libraries, school boards, and entire school systems—to silence dissent and impose its worldview on the next generation.”

Writers: How many books, short stories, flash fiction, essays, etc. do you generally have going at once? In the past I've been a "1 story at a time" type of dude, but lately I find myself working on whatever is on deadline or is inspiring me in the moment. How many unfinished stories do you have?

Doing some writing this morning and finally got through the first four chapters of whatever this thing is I'm working on. I SHOULD be working on the book that I'm contracted to do, but this entered my periphery and now it's all I can work on. Not worried about deadlines. I've never missed one.

Going to do something dangerous on the internet by having an opinion... Top 5 comfort watch movies for me (no particular order): 1. That Thing You Do 2. Chef 3. Burnt 4. Clerks 5. Ghostbusters I'm easy to please. What are your comfort watches?

Did some editing on a story I'm working on, but doing any actual writing is proving to be difficult.

Saw the lights flick in my office (it's raining outside). That means save, back up, and close the manuscript I'm working on right now just in case.

Attention everyone! There is a little baked potato restaurant in Manchester, NH that we found that was lovely! Pictured is a BBQ pulled pork, bacon, and cheese baked potato. Thank you for your attention to this matter. BlueSky Resident, Nicholas B. LaRue

Hot cocoa is serious business.

Wife and I did a petit date tonight. We hit the comic book store and then a little roadside stand that serves baked potatoes w/ a variety of toppings. Tomorrow we're going to ANOTHER potato place, but in NH, to see how they stack up.

If you see this, QTP with a sword ⚔️

The bill and amendments that my colleagues and I have been working on passed the MA Senate. Now to focus on the House.

This Waitrose ad is better than the majority of movies I've seen this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sOy...

Watched some of it when I was a kid but largely forgot the plot. Might be time to dive back into Neon Genisis: Evangelion.

Watching the MA Senate session stream today to see how the bill/amendments we've been working on fare.

Here's another Bond movie idea that gets people out of the "he's dead" corner: The Bond Initiative - A secret MI6 program designed to minimize field casualties by cloning their best agent, James Bond. When the old Bond dies, a new one awakes to take his place.

This James Bond being dead thing isn't really an issue. Here's my title for the next installment: You Only Live Thrice

To give you an idea of when this story was written. The main character is on the phone at one point.... The house phone...The LANDLINE HOUSE PHONE!!! Sadly, when I go to revise this, I'm going to have to change it because there are NO KIDS out there that know what a fucking house phone is.

I found a short story I wrote back in 2002 in my stack of notes and journals and ya know what? It's not half bad. It's old school Nic, and kinda rough, but it has a good concept that I think with some revisions could be a really fun YA story (or maybe full-on book)

I mean, did anyone EXPECT this to go another way? Are you new?

Just watched Death by Lightning and fuck if I don't long for the days of fistfights in politics.

TELL YOUR DEMOCRATIC SENATORS TO KEEP HOLDING THE LINE IN THE FUNDING FIGHT act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

The MA Senate will be voting on An Act Regarding Free Expression on Thursday 11/13. This Boston Globe article touts this as a positive development, but while the protections for libraries are welcome, this version of the bill strips all protections from authors. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/08/m...

While the bill allows parents, students, and guardians to challenge book removals in state court, it does not allow creators and authors to do so. In its current form, the bill leaves authors unprotected from being discriminated against due to their identity.

I used to think that getting involved with legislative work would inspire me and give me a sense of community. I have a sense of community now: with authors. Because we understand that nobody else gives a shit about us. That inspiration though is hard to find. I'm mostly feeling anger these days.

Started my morning with a cup of coffee and emailing my district's senator to get him to support amendments for the bill that authors are currently being screwed on. What are you up to?

One of our senators has gotten wind that authors are upset over the stripping of our protections from the book ban legislation we're trying to pass and had their aide schedule a meeting this afternoon to try to "handle" us. This should go well.

I've been working with a bunch of folks to get a bill passed to fight book banning. It looks like it's making it past the next hurdle, but we discovered they took out all the protections for authors and creators. So yeah, I'm a bit pissed off today.
