If Republican lawmakers actually cared about today's events and are "heartbroken" like they say, they would work to pass reasonable gun reform. But they won't because it's easier to blame the left and give their "thoughts and prayers" until the storm passes and they can resume business as usual.

Some say you should write what you enjoy reading. The only problem with that advice is that most of the stuff I enjoy reading is not what modern audiences nor publishers want 🫠

Some not so new publishing...uh...news. I have some more work coming out soon, so I might actually post regularly on here. Believe it or not, I've been busy writing! #horrorwriters calebjamesk.com/2024/03/23/p...

I'm pretty excited for this magazine by Diabolic Press to come out. I really dig the art and my story, The Death Loop, is pretty messed up, so I think it fits well. #horrorwriters

When I was a kid, I'm pretty sure the dreams I had of my future didn't involve waking up early every single miserable day of my existence so I could spend all of my physical and mental energy making other people a lot of money while I drive a rusted out shitbox and fret over the price of eggs.

I'm closing in on 100 story rejections for the year. Fun!
