This week I gave myself the week off editing to write. I've managed ten chapters and close to 4K per day on average. Next week I'm back to editing, but hope I can at least keep up half that pace. If so, I might finish this next Harker novel this spring.

Come see me talk about mushrooms! Not that I've done mushrooms. Because drugs are bad, m'kay? But come see me talk about shrooms!

My favorite TV cop is Ice-T.

Need more of this. Make them run, make them afraid for their jobs, then take their jobs.

Why didn't y'all tell me Ice-T and Body Count covered "Comfortably Numb" with David Gilmour on guitar?!?

This whole Trump/Zelensky Oval Office BS reminds me of a time I was called into a meeting with an electrical contractor to negotiate work on a project. Except I wasn't. I was called in there because the contractor waspissed off at me and wanted to yell at me face to face.

I have editorial openings for March and April. Hit me up if you need a book polished. Rates are 1.5 cents per word for developmental/line editing. Negotiable for experienced authors.

I'm back! It's been a hell of a year so far with two cataract surgeries and a "minor procedure" to correct some afib that they found during the second eyeball poking. It's always minor when it happens to somebody else, right?!? I'm recovering well and back to my normal shitposting and cat worship.

Logan Paul doesn’t have good heat. He has “go away” heat. Dom has good heat. We love to hate Dom. We just hate Logan Paul.

I’ve been saying his name for days. I believe. #joehendry #royalrumble

Penta and Rey to start? If yall never watched Lucha Underground, you bout to SEE some shit. #royalrumble

Quote of the day - "I will de-Nazify shit. But I won't re-Nazify shit." Be like this redneck hero.

We publish some really fucking good books. I just finished reading one - a badass heist novel that morphs into a space opera into a milSF book back into a heist novel with a spicy af sex scene in there, too. The Starlight Contingency by Kyoko M. is a kickass book! www.amazon.com/dp/B0DL3RL7CN

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Had an interesting meeting and then an interesting phone call regarding film rights and adaptations today. Don't know if anything will come of either convo, but it's nice to feel like there's interest in my work by other people. :)

Trans people deserve better than this. They deserve dignity, autonomy, and the same freedom as anyone else to be who they are. We as a culture have failed them, and until Trans folks are free to make their own choices, none of us are.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Some are Aragorn. Some are Samwise. What kind of ally are you? www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLD8...

If you're anywhere driving distance of Charlotte, NC, come out next weekend and see me and the rest of the Falstaff Misfits at the Heroes Aren't Hard to Find MiniCon at the Grady Cole Center! Tickets are only $5, and they have special giveaways to offset parking! www.heroesonline.com/CLT-Mini-Con/

There are always men like them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ8t...

And they have spent six decades doing it. It will take progressives at least as long to undo the damage they have done, but every fight starts with a first punch.

Well this was nice. We pivoted our social media focus to YouTube this year due to the impending TT ban, and even though it's back, we're steering clear for now, so gaining traction on our YT channel is very gratifying. The channel is 15 years old, but we haven't been consistent with it until now.

I understand that ChatGPT is down and fortunately this is not a problem for me as I have spent considerable time developing a local language model that I am able to run autonomously, fueled by Mountain Dew, incoherent rage, and cats.

ChatGPT shitting the bed is about the only good news publishing has had this month.

But tell me again how much the GOP loves and supports our military and our veterans.

What if, and just hear me out here, he knew exactly what that salute was and he threw up his arm because he wanted to express exactly that? Quacks like a duck and all that...

Tonia is awesome. Help her. out if you can, because she deserves all the support the universe can bring her.

But why is the rum gone?

Okay, #Horrorwriterschat, I'm John G. Hartness, and I write a ton of stuff (Bubba the Monster Hunter, Quincy Harker Demon Hunter, Black Knight Chronicles). My favorite type of horror to write is horror comedy.

Today is a great day to buy books by trans and nonbinary writers. If you are a trans or nonbinary horror creator who feels safe doing so, go ahead and share links to your work or the best way to support your work.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

I'm not a great fit for this, but I bet some of my people here have a lot of cool shit to say. @sarahjsover.bsky.social, @saratbond.bsky.social, @missdefying.bsky.social, @lmariewood.bsky.social, @mcmanlypants.bsky.social - I bet y'all got some cool shit to say about stuff.

In six months, when I'm whining about being hot and sweating my balls off, somebody feel free to remind me about today, when I'm bitching about being cold. Because cold sucks.

Today I choose to continue to dream - youtu.be/-mbHdHYxb8I

Hell is empty, And all the devils are here.

I 100% feel this about being long-winded. Took me four tries to get a 59 second short in under the wire. My Marketing Director HATES me a lot of the time.

If you look around, you may be surprised to see local business owners showing their whole selves today. Make some notes. Spend your dollar wisely.

While there are a lot of online sources that would have me turn in my man card for last night's dinner (hell, they'd have me turn it in just for the fact that I cooked it and there was no open flame), I really think my Beyond Burgers with turkey bacon were pretty damned yummy.

Hey writer types - when you see a friend posting their setup at a convention, repost it to boost their signal. Who knows when someone might read your post and say "I could do a comic con today"? Then you've helped a friend and follower have a good day.

All set up at the Mini Legion Comic Convention in Acworth GA. We're here until 4pm. Join us! It'll be fun! allevents.in/acworth/mini...

I just had the most "first-world" whiny-ass thought about getting my eyes fixed. I just got new headshots done about a year ago because I hadn't had new ones since I went from contacts to glasses. Now I won't have glasses anymore. So new headshots. I did say it was a first-world problem.
