No food tastes as good as having written your daily goal feels This does not include alcohol

Anyhoo, the makers of Wag The Dog are probably happy

We are, and always have been, the baddies

Adopted a second cat that I’ve named Leonard Nimoy and Jasmine hates him like William Shatner hated anyone who eclipsed Bill Shatner

Well it sounds terrible when you put it like that!

In other news, yer boy, JHJ, finds himself 100% HANGOVER FREE today because he stayed at home last night, minding his biz, staying sober, enjoying tea, reading, and writing. Thought I'd get a jump-start on sober January

Doing research for my current novel (70k words in!) and the scholarly work THE WELL AND THE TREE was recommended. Here's the only copy I can find for sale online. Sheesh.

As in almost everything, Terry Pratchett expressed it perfectly. In this case, a discussion between Death and his adopted daughter Susan:

@johnhornor.bsky.social's tight and creepy haunted ship novel THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL (buy it!!!!) got me through TKR surgery, and now @joe-hill.bsky.social's gargantuan KING SORROW is going to get me through recovery. 🦵 I love horror. 🖤

I read a lot this year. Best horror: A Lush and Seething Hell by @johnhornor.bsky.social Best graphic novel: Berserk by Kentaro Miura (daring I know) Best SF/F: The West Passage by Jared Pechaček Best Classic: Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Fuck marry kill the sea the sky the land

christmas coming thank god like every year

You will be visited by three spirits… who have such sights to show you

It’s rather hot and humid this Christmas day so I’m gonna do a little practical effects and crank the AC and “accidentally” set off the fire extinguisher in my living room. I’m alone, who gives a shit

If you are saying universal healthcare *cant* realistically happen with our current political system and economy you should be advocating for revolution to overthrow that system instead of being ok with no universal healthcare

On this Christmas Eve, I watch the most feel good and relaxing yuletide media I can think of, tonight it was the Seven Fishes episode of The Bear

don’t wrap presents on the floor without a plan on how to get back up

Death is a nowhere lined with lightning damn, Peter S. Beagle this is what fantasy can and should do feral and wild and poetic imagery

My old friend Jason Adams (don't think he's on BlueSky) just dropped the song of the season this Christmas. It's got devils and explosions and shaved and unshaved versions of Jason. Also, some surprisingly personal and heartfelt lyrics. shitchristmas.com

That 60 Minutes piece will win a Pulitzer and Bari Weiss will instantly change her bio to “Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist.” And feel zero shame doing it.

I finally listened to @johnhornor.bsky.social and watched BLUE EYE SAMURAI. And it is AWESOME. It's LADY SNOWBLOOD with fantastic characters, style, and incredible fight scenes.

Oh gosh, I've just thought of the most perfect literary pairing for Sinners - it's 'My Heart Struck Sorrow', the second novella in this book. It's also about the blues and family and racism in the Deep South.

This presidency has fully devolved into a series of Make A Wish situations staged for an addled, dying man

The only good thing about this future I dreamed about as a kid is that every type of clothing can be purchased in a stretchy version. Stretchy suit? Yep. Warm-up pants slacks? Yep. Stretchy jeans? Stretchy belts and shoes? The world is burning down but I at least I'm very comfortable at funerals now

I don’t really like clowns as a horror element. I think they’re kind of basic, thinking we’re all children. They’re silly. In fact, I kinda hate them. I don’t want to see them in movies, or tv shows. Actually, I want them all to die. Like, uh, horribly. Let’s kill them, all of us. Kill them all. KIL

The weird thing about cats is that you will find yourself saying stuff like, “Hello my darling are you wanting some gravy indulgence? Don’t yell at me, I have some gravy indulgences for you, my sweet.” To clarify for you freaks, I am referring to Sheba Gravy Indulgence.

A well established writers group asked me to do a two session writing class (45 minutes each) and they really surprised me by inquiring what my rate was for something like that. I didn't laugh maniacally and say "I DON'T KNOW, NOBODY HAS EVER ASKED ME TO DO THIS" anyhoo, any suggestions?

Broccolini is the Frank Stallone of cruciferous vegetables starting with brocc

oh, wow. *chef's kiss* no notes

"If we want to get more folks under the tent, we gotta stop making Nazis feel bad and suffer consequences for being Nazis." This guy is consideration for the presidency because of the edgelord kid his team hired for social media. Otherwise, he's dangerously milquetoast

I've been recording an album with the band (still discussing the name though we have a favorite). Would anyone want to hear one of my originals? I'm kinda stoked, we sound like a real rock-n-roll band (which we are, of the bar variety).

on today's TALENTED BUT TERRIBLE MEN podcast quentin tarantino will be chatting with bret easton ellis

Dear #booksky:

I experienced the best band I’ve seen in 20 years tonight live with a singer the likes of which I haven’t really experienced since idk seeing Tina Turner for the first time. Billie Allen + The Pollies Just an incredible set and show

So this award season I’d like to direct you to my latest novel THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US… fuck it, maybe we shouldn’t have released it in october

A reminder that I have a new story out in this month's Swords and Sorcery Magazine. It's called We Have To Go Back, and it's free to read right now! swordsandsorcerymagazine.com

i have entered my david foster wallace phase of hermitage (minus, er, the whole suicide thang) really i keep my apartment cold tbh and needed a little more on the dome

My agent once told me I used too many commas, colons and semi-colons. It hurt a little so I made an attempt to simplify my writing. If your agent tells you something it's wise to follow their advice. But I'm rereading Woolf's TO THE LIGHTHOUSE and constantly saying, "Oh yeah mama that's the stuff."

Me in my teens: “Wow, Elric of Melniboné needs spells and potions to prop him up and keep him going. This is fantasy at its finest!” Me in my 50’s: “Wow, Elric of Melniboné needs spells and potions to prop him up and keep him going. This is realism at its finest!”
