Just finished this great haunted house read 📖

I queried my first book to somewhere north of 100 agents, shelved that book, and wrote an entirely new one, for which I am now prepared to query 100 more agents. I take my hat off to you. That's a lot of rejection.

Are you looking for collections? I write horror comedy short stories.

I write horror comedy short stories. Are you looking for short story collections at this time? I've got a killer name in mind for mine.

Finished this last night. An excellent read. I wish everyone in America would read this book, especially politicians.

Of course I remember On Top of Spaghetti! USA midwest here

My thoughts exactly! Sharing.

99K, which is too long IMO. I will cut it down in edits.

‘Pulp Fiction’ Writer Says It Was ‘Impossible’ to Get His Movies Made Until He Started an AI Production Company: ‘Just Put AI in Front of It and All of a Sudden You’re in Production on Three Features’ 'Pulp Fiction' writer Roger Avary says it was 'impossible' to get his movies made until he started an AI production company.

You can't seem to get your movies made. Do you:
1. Keep writing original scripts and working on other film projects,
2. Look for a new job, or
3. Create AI-generated movies with software that stole your IP as well as future collaborators' IP, making yourself a pariah? 🤔 variety.com/2026/film/ne...

I looked this guy up on IMDB. None of these 3 upcoming movies he's talking about are listed as being in production. He's credited on zero projects since last year, with no writing credits since 2019. Seems like someone who's trying to stay relevant. I get it, Hollywood's a hustle, but come on, man.

“We of the craft are all crazy. Some are affected by gaiety, others by melancholy, but all are more or less touched.”

Finally watched SINNERS. Wow 😱 It earned every single one of those Oscar noms.

Just finished writing my first draft of my first horror novel. On Friday the 13th. That is all.

Exactly. Or just listen to your body. I eat bread pretty much every day. No medical issues and I'm at a healthy weight. A friend of mine has medical issues that get worse when she eats gluten so she avoids it. 🤷

This is an apt comparison!

This is both gross and impractical. Where's the market for one "author" producing 200 books a year? Unless bots are going to purchase the books in addition to writing them, this is a silly business model.

Loved this, thanks for sharing ❤️

Lovely story ❤️
