Apparently my daughter’s purposefully AI generated outline is not AI generated according to turnitin but my test sample to that same program of Brian Lumley’s first chapter of The Source written decades ago is almost wholly AI generated. I don’t think AI knows what it’s doing…

From my wip: The injured man turned the forearm slightly. The unnamed man’s elbow reached the limit of its joint and passed it. The dislocation occurred without flourish. The sensation was sharp and clinical: a failure of alignment, a new slackness, a pain that did not require interpretation.

I walked with the gods like burdens on my back. They did not guide me; they watched. Love burned, prayer failed, the earth stayed mute. At night I laid down my name and kept only the law of hunger to stand upright before nothing.

Don’t break their heart, They have only one of them. Break their bones instead. They have over 200.

My first book is almost done. Well… the first draft of my first book is almost done.

Why is there no Assassin’s Creed Mirage Discovery Tour?!

@foliosociety.bsky.social your books are beautiful! I just added two to my library.

From my WIP: The fantasy novel, the fantasy film, the fantasy myth—all of them perform the same quiet miracle: they move suffering out of the present and into a narrative economy where it can be accounted for later. They whisper that the pain you cannot bear today will be justified tomorrow.

At this rate this book won’t be done until July! Of 27! How do you writers do it?

Brian Lumley was such a great writer!

I tried to write the worst dad joke of all time, but it left. It said it was going out for milk. #brutal #notsorry

I’m going to try and write a novella in the style of an ascetic illuminated text. I’ve read enough poetry and religious ancient texts to think I actually have a shot at this. Also yes… Necroscope 3 audiobook will be released this month. :D

Where do I send my short stories? This writing thing is addictive!

At the local B&N and finding my favorite people!!! @kkoja.bsky.social @ericlarocca.bsky.social

Maybe one day our civilization will be as open minded and progressive as the ancient Minoans…

I don’t react much to gore scenes in movies but let me tell you… That bear attack in The Revenant still makes me shudder. Also in Annihilation. Basically bears scare me.

Time to read “Roadside Picnic” again. Because it’s amazing!

My kid: Dad, are the monsters under the bed real? Me: Of course not. They’re behind the walls. Goodnight. #notsorry

My ring holder in the kitchen… “oh no Mr. Hand! He’s gonna be mean to meeeee!!!!” Hahahahahhahahahhahaa!

I stared hungrily into the abyss, and the abyss stared back and said: “Hi hungry, I’m Nyarlathotep. Did you eat your elder gods yet?” 👁️🥁 I’ll see myself out before reality collapses. #notsorry

Happy New Year!!! We have survived another rotation without summoning anything. … that we know of…

I finally tried my hand at writing and, as an audiobook narrator, I can officially say that writing, like the mind, is weird. Therefore I like it. But it took me two months to write a couple of pages. How do authors write hundreds?!

I don’t actually get this. This is an amazing novel. It’s free!!!

I knew going to the cinema was going to turn bad back in the 90’s when they started showing TV ads before the movie trailers. It has only gotten worse. I hate the cinema now.

My field harvest died but I’m starting a new career as a DJ. I’ve got all these sick beets! #notsorry

What body horror scene gives you the body shivers and makes you clutch your head? I’ll go first… The hobbling scene in “Misery”.

“I Sit and Look Out…” by Walt Whitman. I was going to wait to post this but it’s too important not to post. One of my favorite poems of all time. It is the impotent God. The uninvolved adult. The pointless entity. It is evil. Recited by myself. Listen and ponder. #waltwhitman #poetry #god #humanity

Me…

“To be or not to be… by William Shakespeare. Recited by myself. I’m no actor but this is his thus particular soliloquy has always seemed to me. Manic. Desperate. Conflicted. #poetry #hamlet #shakespeare #tobeornottobe #existentialism
