Choose love. Choose peace. Choose kindness. Choose to keep searching old books, crumbling ruins, and mossy forests for portals to other realms, where reading & sleeping are celebrated sports.

I was able to read an ARC of this and it is absolutely amazing, wonderful, heart-filling book. You need to read this book, especially if you're queer and/or neurodivergent. A book that had me in happy tears because I felt SEEN!

Just served as Mystery Muse for the Clarion West students, answering questions for an hour. It was a DELIGHT.

Listened to this on my ride upstate recently — it’s a good one!

I have been watching Gossip Girl for the 1st time, for Dungeon Crawler Carl reasons, and it is kinda wild to see a baby Deep from The Boys wandering around being a soulful teen.

What is Hoodoo? Beatrice Winifred Iker explains in @itgodp.bsky.social where they discuss their dark academia horror book, “I’ll Make a Spectacle Out Of You” with @catrambo.bsky.social & Alan. 🎧 itgodp.libsyn.com/ill-make-a-s...

This was based on the sermon I did a while back; it appeared on the big UU site as part of their Pride Month series: www.uua.org/braverwiser/...

New podcast episode! Alan and I talk with Matt Kressel about writing with authenticity, writing unfamiliar cultures, Dungeons and Dragons, what writers can take from RPGs, Matt's new novels Spacetrucker Jess and The Rainseekers, AI, plagiarism, and much more. itgodp.libsyn.com/the-rainseek...

Just pre-registered for the Nebula Awards in Seattle next year, because the @sfwa.bsky.social team did such a stellar job this year that I know it'll be an amazing time. (Might even spring for the banquet ticket next year. ;) )

Here's the 24 events coming up for the Rambo Academy fo Wayward Writers this month. Check out my Patreon to join one of the liveliest F/SF/horror writing communities around. www.patreon.com/posts/june-2...

For fellow #Shadowrun players

It's out! www.drivethrufiction.com/en/product/5...? If you read it and like it, please leave a review!

Saw both Obsession and Is God Is today with my cousin. Both were full of interesting stuff to think about and significantly better writing than either of the two blockbusters I've seen this month. #horror

Have trouble ending a story? Or finding where the story should start? I'm teaching an online class on writing beginnings and endings this Saturday that tries to delve into questions like how to make an ending satisfying or create a beginning that grabs the reader. www.patreon.com/posts/155095...

Flash fiction is one of the most sellable forms of fiction. This three session starts today, 1-3 PM Eastern time, and will teach you how to write it, edit it, and find a market for it. Plenty of scholarships still available. www.patreon.com/posts/class-...

Want to write more flash fiction? Take this 3 session workshop, starting this Sunday. www.patreon.com/posts/158206...

Another bizarre use of LLMs - www.enworld.org/threads/ken-...

This was a really fun interview and I hope you enjoy it!

I love teaching Left Behind by @catrambo.bsky.social . One of those sci fi stories that seems to become more prescient by the year, specifically the part where older people’s brains become hyper valuable from maturing without newer intrusive technologies clarkesworldmagazine.com/rambo_05_16/

Character, setting, and plot - all you need for a story, right? Nope. There's a secret sauce that pulls it all together. Join me for a three-session workshop that tells you how to go to the next level. (Pls share!) #writersky patreon.com/posts/157349...

Really illuminating and worth signalboosting, IMO. Please spread if you're tired of Trump using his office to shove money in his and his family's pockets. #dumptrump www.readtangle.com/the-everythi...

Reading A SWIM IN A POND IN THE RAIN by George Saunders, which we'll be discussing, chapter by chapter, in my Craft Book Discussion Group, and it is just so smart. I'm really looking forward to the discussions.

Headed to Chicago on a fine spring day!

Chicago friends, I'm taking part in the Speculative Literature Foundation's Deep Dish reading series tonight. Come out and say hi! speculativeliterature.org/programs-3/d...

You don’t have to be The World’s Greatest Writer like Chuck Tingle to reject AI. If you want to be a writer, just write.

Excited to see this story appear!

Enforce boundaries. When it's writing time, (unless urgent) it's ONLY writing time. #writingcommunity #selfcare #booksky

So excited to be part of this amazing writing retreat! www.ancientlorevillage.com/creating-the...
