For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

What’s a spring night without a little Blue Jays baseball. Hoping for a win tonight! #bluejaysbaseball #gojaysgo

…oh

logs in just to say that my queries are closing again tomorrow at midnight!!

It’s been awhile, so who wants a #bloomscroll? First up, volunteer wild evening primrose. These really like gravel.

A short newsletter thinking about Sports and Writing. #writingcommunity #writesky #sportsandwriting #bluejays #torontotempo lonicameron.substack.com/p/sports-and...

why is research so hard!

The Webby Awards are tonight, and I'll be there. Who should I make sure to meet? Can anything top the time that Big Bird literally crashed into me on the red carpet? You can follow all the malarkey at webbyawards.com once the show starts.

I’m so happy #kes #kestheband #tinydeskconcert #npr youtube.com/watch?v=yuve...

Looking for my well of creativity. Have you seen it? #writingcommunity

Hey, check it out! The chocolate flower is blooming! “Oh joy,” you say, “another daisy.” But this one is special! THIS ONE SMELLS LIKE CHOCOLATE

Hello to the FBI/Secret Service/NSA people now monitoring this account because apparently the attempted shooter liked a few of my posts in the last month, here's a picture of my cat to get you started

Trying to write at this morning’s Write-In, but I’m too easily distracted today (lately). #writingcommunity

Also HAPPY FRIDAY I would love for more folks to pick up ONE MESSAGE REMAINS -- one novella, two novelettes, and a reprint packaged into a mini-collection set in a shared world of war, resistance, and magic! (For CHEAP!) psychopomp.com/product/one-...

Congratulations to @stephenking.bsky.social for this well-deserved honor!👍 (Novels/Novellas: Approximately 65 to 67 Non-fiction books: 5 books. Short Stories: Over 200 Pseudonyms: 7 novels were published as Richard Bachman. Frequency: He has published at least one book almost every year since 1974)

I keep getting told that the lives of writers are not interesting/cinematic

Okay, on the one hand, running upright is hard! The designers did a genuinely impressive thing here! On the other, I’m not sure “look how much faster than a human it can go” is terribly interesting framing. Lots of things go faster than humans, and it just gets people’s backs up.

I'll keep going, will you? #writinglife #storytelling #reallife open.substack.com/pub/lonicame...

Why is the world so awful? I just want to hide

Enjoying time spent with other writers at this evening's write-in, each of us on a journey to find the words. #writingcommunity #writesky

Time for a Monday night Write-In. What should I work on today? #writingcommunity #writesky

I think #bloomscroll might be my new favourite hashtag!

I can't wait for the season to start!

I always look at the news on Sunday mornings and that might be a mistake. Fingers crossed for peace.

Musing on my past in philosophy #newsletter #philosophy open.substack.com/pub/lonicame...

Yes it is, my contracts specify humans have to do cover art, editing, translation, etc. I will note that to date I have had no real resistance to these contract points by my publishers. So, really, if these points are not in your contract, ask for them (or have your agent ask for them).

Last week, my narration of The Body was released, just in time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stand By Me. Today, we got a lovely mention and review in Kirkus, and I'm just so proud of what we did. This project is deeply personal and special to me, and I love that it's getting noticed.

It's crazy how good baseball makes me feel. #baseballseason #gojaysgo

Ah - yes ! We are "living witnesses" to a moment that cancelled this living witness moment. Many may celebrate the present moment. Many may reevaluate this moment in the future, just like the original @startrekfamily.bsky.social #Voyager episode. This is what makes Star Trek so cool!

Sometimes I open up BlueSky and want to make a little comment about my writing journey, chapter titles, or something fun, then I read the posts in my feed and start to worry about humanity. #writingcommunity #worldissues #reallife
