L.A. started the year on fire and is ending soaked in rain. That probably means something. I don't know. Fuck you. I'm a writer. I find meaning in my friend's particularly ugly frog named Harold who only eats on sunny days. I REALLY hope that, unlike Harold, this rain means something.

What fresh, pine-scented hell hath capitalism wrought?

A MANatee for all Seasons. The saga continues...

Found just outside LA's Little Tokyo, there are some things that refuse to let the rain wash them away.

Person in front of me in the coffee line didn't choose a tip amount before walking away. Don't worry. Someone, I won't say who, but SOMEONE made a decision for them.

Come hang tomorrow and soothe those post AFF blues

Halloween in suburbia is fucking wild. There are these two homes, side by side with the MOST decorations in the neighborhood, who took EVERYTHING down by 10pm ON Halloween night. I'm living in proximity to sociopaths. Cool, decorative sociopaths, but still!

We are down to a single bag of candy but our spirits are high and our lights are still on.

An ungodly amount of Halloween candy.

Ran out of candy last year. Not this time, Satan. Not this time... (-_-)

Happy Halloween, All!

Where is that pumpkin o' mine?

Had an 'Over the Garden Wall' themed Halloween party and one of our guests outdid themselves on the pumpkin painting. The moment she started mixing paints we knew it was going to be special. #overthegardenwall #pumpkin #painting #artsky

My new favorite thing is to take words like 'Underwhelmed' and 'Disappointed' and instead describe myself as 'whelmed' or 'appointed'. The English language is very, VERY silly.

Not since the late 90s, random bottle. Not since the 90s....

It IS a feature now. Would be happy to share soon.

F*cked around and accidentally found out my feature comedy, The Last Clap 👏, is the best thing I've ever (re)written.

@joeabercrombie.com I'm in a bind. On one hand, I read all of your books and had a better time than most of your characters. On the other hand, I read all of your books and now have to question everything I knew about the genre. Is there ANYONE you could recommend for my literary rebound?

I must have missed that classic romp where Sgt. Stubby storms the beaches of Normandy, surviving only to withdraw from his pups due to severe PTSD and a rawhide addiction.

Nomortland. Season 8. Episode 8. Rick and Morty. An episode of TV that sort of hugs you in the face of an uncaring universe.

I HATE that this is true.

Spotted by a friend's sister in Georgia. Her neighbors like to dress up their manatee mailbox for EVERY holiday. Any guesses which holiday this one represents?

For your consideration, The Stunt List S4 presents the premiere of an original series from an Oscar-winner, never-before-seen pages from a comedy legend, & introduces emerging scribes who are HOT (on the page) but don’t know it—

@aclu.org any chance someone can wake up the folks over at the ACLU of SoCal? Not exactly inspiring confidence in their after donation automated email.

Nothing. Literally nothing lights a fire under my need to edit/revise/scream into the void like a request to read my work.

Going to start a service where writers get a strange, yet compelling read request in their inbox that expires 3 days later.

I truly hope that's the case. I work for a tech company that expressly forbids us from uploading any company documents onto (insert Ai assistant here). If the tech companies are worried, well... something something die by the sword.

"Aubrey! May I trouble you for the salt?"

I'm a little confused (and maybe being a bit of a shit stirrer), but you willingly fed your original script into the great devourer?

"One must always choose the lesser of two weevils."

Queen Kodiak After the death of her mother, an embattled 17 year old moves in with her father on Alaska’s Kodiak island where she befriends a legendary 3000 lb....

Easiest preorder of my life. There's nothing more exciting than supporting a friend's art. AND, it'll arrive just in time for Christmas.
