Today's news post below. I can't beleive my son hasn't been screaming his head off. He took me to see Sinners last year at the movie theatre. We had such a great time. The movie was so good, I watched it again with him in December. This is another "excuse" to watch it this weekend. #sinners #oscars

I've just finished 12 hours of non-stop copywriting work. I may have stood up and stretched my legs a few times and come back with a cold drink (non-alcoholic). Trying to decide if I sleep for 2 hours now (since it is midday) or just stay up until my groceries get delivered.

Renee Good's final words: "it's ok dude, I'm not mad at you." Jonathan Ross' 1st words after killing her: "fucking bitch!" He murdered her bc he was pissed. This is literally "man or bear". It's toxic masculinity. A man's total inability to regulate his emotions THE REASON he murdered a woman.

I now have a clip-on deskfan. My writer's life is so much cooler.

Watched this concert in its entirety somewhere, maybe YT, but its a fascinating journey and an excellent show!

You wouldn’t believe the unforgivable things that I’ve done to keyboard covers. Or how much I need one as a writer. Keyboard covers aren’t sexy but they are essential. Here’s my hot take on why you need one and my recommendation of which you should get. open.substack.com/pub/jamesgar...

Thread of self-publishing advice-seeking from the #WritingCommunity! As I prepare to release my debut novel this year, I am very naive about the process! I’m looking for overall advice, cautions, and logistical suggestions. How did you do it? What did and didn’t work well? What are my options?

I'm ready to start a line edit on my short story, but there's one thing holding me back. A ruler. I can't find one at the moment. As soon as I do, I'll get started. #amwriting #writerslife

#MythDecember Oh, I like this question. And it's always going to be the second thing for my stories. I feel strongly that (for me) depicting evil and good as absolutes on a scale, that there is some dark, devilish, nebulous "source" of evil that corrupts mankind is a toxic and harmful idea...🧵

I think you should get weirder and freakier about their writing next year. Expel the thoughts of "is this too much? too strange? too out there?" fuck it, we ball. Break the ancient seal cast upon ye. Unleash the inner esoteric thing within clawing, begging to wreak creative havoc.

Yesterday, I worked on a speculative fiction short story that's at least 8 years in the making. It took a while for a satisfying ending to coalecse. I still have at least two more rounds of edits to complete, but the finish line approaches. #amwriting

My YouTube history for 2025 places me as:

Bah humbug.

I just finished reading Shadow Ticket, the latest, and perhaps last, novel by Thomas Pynchon. It was fun and wild and witty, as you would expect, but I kept waiting for it to take off and it never really did. Just a series of McGuffins keeping a PI off kilter and on the prowl. A bit of a let down.
