What’s the most difficult book you’ve read cover-to-cover? #books #amreading #readingcommunity

A pet-themed poem of mine has been reprinted in a new anthology whose proceeds go to Buffalo Pug and Small Breeds Rescue. Whether it’s a love of poetry or dogs or simple goodwill, please grab a copy to support this amazing charity. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GNS541PR/

Behind every indie book is a person who kept going when nobody noticed. The bookstore exists so those stories don’t stay hidden. Come wander the shelves. You might find one written for you. 🔗 link in bio or motivatedsavages.com/indie-author... #booksky #readersky #indieauthor #indiebooks

I’ve got new poetry published in The Rauch Review! 🥳 #poetry #writingcommunity #poet josephrauch.com/therauchrevi...

All I’m saying is that if Zues makes an eagle eat Prometheus’s liver daily for giving man fire, just imagine what he’ll do to the guy who gave us AI. #ai #humor #mythology

The existence of human-derived technofossils is a strike against the Silurian Hypothesis, and the 10-year-old in me is not happy about it.

I’m disappointed. 😔 My wife let slip that the #SuperBowl is tomorrow. I prefer to find out the day of or at some point after it’s happened. 🏈 It’s a game of extended ignorance I play every year without knowing I’m playing it until I lose (find out in advance) or win (find out the day of or later).

Sci-fi fans, your new mission is to read, rate, and review this gem of #sciencefiction literature. www.amazon.com/Oskar-Submer...

There’s a pleasure in finishing a book almost comparable to that of beginning a new book. #amdeading

Beauty, tragedy, and the surrealism of the unthinkable somehow combine in just shy of 100 words. Wow. What a masterfully crafted story, Yara.

It’s prose with the power of poetry. Loyalty to identity and trepidation (not without openness) of the unknown is explored with crafted care. Great job, Muntasir!

The language bubbles, the meaning the bubbles, and as the fire grows brighter, the story gets darker. Love it!

Two poems in one day. It’s not like my muse to be so generous. #amwriting

Authors, your writing plan for February? #writers

Sometimes it’s frustrating having so many damn good writers in my writing critique group. Like what am I supposed to say? 😅 #writers

Every prolific writer is allow one bad book. 😉 #writingcommunity

Will the real Don DeLillo please stand up?

Hear me out: An action comedy where assassins hired by Trump, the Clintons, the CIA, and Israel all show up the same night to off Epstein. Shenanigans ensue.

I’ve got a new story published in Night Shades Magazine! 😁 www.nightshadesmag.com/the-well/

I am “I had a pog collection” years old.

That was a satisfying writing session. Gonna break with a book, a visit to Grandpa, some grub, and then get back to the writing desk. #writinglife

Another four-hour night of sleep. I got up to a dark house at 4:30 – worked on a poem, updated my author website, and composed a reply to someone interested in the local writers group I run. I’m a bit tired, but it’s a good life. #writers

Tell me you’re functionally illiterate without telling me you’re functionally illiterate.

My copy of Thomas Pynchon’s Shadow Ticket came in today!

The safety officer at my local high school had to break up a fight between the Antifa recruiters and the Army recruiters. SMH 😒

#Readers, never have I ever 1. Read a Kindle Book 2. Won first in a poetry slam 3. Read Allen Ginsberg with friends sober Two truths and lie. Guess my lie in the comments! 😝

Saying “No shade, but” to the flannel-clad trucker casually leaning on the counter at my workplace before dismantling his entire anti-woke ideology just for giggles.

Autumn vibes are coming! ☕️🍁 #Readers, check out my fall season fiction published in 3:AM Magazine www.3ammagazine.com/3am/irony/

99 pages, 30 thousand words. No, it’s not a book—it’s just one chapter of 13. My WIP might end up an epic wrist-breaker. #writing

The dramatic monologue I wrote Thursday night will be produced by one of my local theaters! 🎭 It’s going to be so fun to see how the actor interprets his lines! #theater

Whiskey and reading because I’m too worn out with cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing all day to clean up my kid’s mess. We’ll make a game of it tomorrow. Here’s to stay-at-home dad life. 🥃 Cheers!

If the rapture is really happening then, Biblically, that means the antichrist is in power. And those who follow the the deceiver aren’t real people of God. So, yeah, the Venn Diagram of Christians following Trump and Christians raptured would be two, non-overlapping circles.

Where’d all my Unitarian Universalist friends go? It’s like they all up and vanished today for some reason.

I interneted too hard today. It’s past 10 and I’ve only read for maybe an hour today. 😕 #books

You ever get so exited about writing that it’s nearly impossible to stay sitting down at the writing desk? #writers

When I was a kid the future was flying cars and alien contact. Living in the future is putting “No AI writing ever” in my author bio. 🫤 #writers

I eat books for breakfast. 📕 🥄 Seriously though, I sometimes do intermittent fasting and read through the hunger. — #books
