the thing about writing is that it is *so easy* unless you are good at it

Here it is, the table of contents of my speculative fiction novel:) Just trying to find a good title now, what do you think about: THE ROMANCE EXPRESS PARALLEL PASSENGERS THE HOOKAH EXPRESS THE SMOKING COMPARTMENT

One of my favourite and most underrated movies is STOLEN KISSES by François Truffaut, starring Jean-Pierre Léaud. It is a one-of-a-kind comedy with romance elements, without the usual formula. For more underrated movies check out my Letterboxd list: letterboxd.com/romance_arti...

From my novel The Romance Express: "A relationship can be madness sometimes. It can uncover your biggest insecurities — and those of your partner. It has the power to make you hate yourself and the world and everyone in it." "So is it worth it?" "Yes. Of course it is."

Not even a 1$ a book. Not that artists have ever been paid well (except celebrities) but this further cements how much the devaluing of arts and humanities in favor of STEM is destroying our culture. If you think society can survive without culture… I hope you have some good apocalypse skills.

Writing 50 word stories is fun :) The burning man takes a seat. Time to enjoy my sandwich he thinks as he cools his flaming tongue in his coffee. He opens his lunchbox. Within a few seconds the buns have turned into toast and the cheese has melted, just as he likes it. Thank God it's Fryday.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

My favourite song of 2024: "Right Back to It" by Waxahatchee feat MJ Lenderman #songoftheyear #KatieCrutchfield open.spotify.com/track/17Zzi8...

I am Guiness World Record holder for being one of the screenwriters of the movie with most credited screenwriters. Not sure if that's a good thing. The movie is fun though! #screenwriting #50kissesmovie

A poem from my upcoming novel "The Romance Express" 📖

Too many great book covers for me to handle.

For me, the most incredible artefacts from the ancient world are the letters people wrote on clay tablets and sent to one another over thousands of years in Mesopotamia, going back to more than 5,000 years ago. They contain recognisable humanity, warmth and humour. Here's a thread of my favourites.

saddened to report that my Buying Too Many Books disease is progressing rapidly

#Authors I don’t know who needs to hear this, but please don’t give up! Even genre-defining writers got rejected. Frank Herbert’s Dune got rejected 23 times. The 1 company that finally took a chance was an auto repair manual publisher. Find those who support you, even in the most unlikely places.💙📚
