Bad drawing. Steve-O bobbing his head up and down to music while holding an iPhone. He is saying Bibbidy Bobbity!

Haven’t heard from Bose, maybe I’m more Apple’s style. Hey, Apple, I’m available for ad work.

Bad drawing. Headshot from the side of Steve-O with Bose headphones on, nodding up and down, saying, Bibbidy Bobbity!

Dear Bose, I’m available for ad work.

I’m probably well over 100. Which could explain why I don’t really know why Spotify is. Eh? What?

Maybe we just need to save the cheerleader.

I am not unreasonably happy that I have leftover Mexican food for lunch. New Mexican style, to be precise.

The recipe is titled 20-Minute Red Lentil Soup. 20 minutes from when? It took me nearly that long to “finely mince” the veggies. But the soup was SOOO good!

Watching the Wales v Japan rugby game with Welsh announcers because that’s all I can find on YouTube.

Breadcrumb trails of information about characters and their situations. I love it.

Book Club Bouncer. A woman be escorted away from a table by a large bouncer while another woman still sitting at the table asks menacingly, “ anyone else think the movie was better?”

Blame it on Steve

I’m good. Writing a bit. Looking forward to what you’ve got coming next.

Hey, T. O., haven’t heard much from you lately. Still writing? Anything new in the works?

My cardio sessions can be summed up in two words; sweaty and painful. The pain lasting for days. It’s tough getting old.

Bad drawing. Titled The Great and Powerful Pumpkin. A jack-o-lantern in place of the Great and Powerful Oz, with Dorothy and the gang looking at it. Dorothy says, I think we should have turned left at Albuquerque. Steve-O is peeking out from behind a curtain. Linus and Sally are in a pumpkin patch. He says, He’s Here! She is pointing and says, Who are they? Bugs Bunny is peeking in from the top right saying, What’s up, Steve-O?

It’s that time of year.

I truly hope someone who does this submits a piece to @tacobellquarterly.org, an unaffiliated literary magazine that’s in the library of congress

Living Más, eh?

My cohort of Broadway Chorus veterans could give a lecture on “warrior ethos” hoo baby.

Oh, I loved her in Good Neighbors (U.S. title).

I don’t know why we have to go through this rapture bullshit every year when we all know full well that the only person who would actually get raptured is Danny Trejo.

This is very helpful. Especially:

1. Where do you fall on the commercial → upmarket → literary spectrum?
2. What is your genre?
A savvy query letter introduces a novel with both of these characteristics.

However, I am still in the “not good enough” phase. 🙁

NEW ANTHOLOGY CALL!

After our upcoming Terry Allen incited anthology we were gonna cool it for a bit on our music-incited anthologies because we have a lot on our publishing plate here.

But eff it. Right now the world needs all the inspiration from Woody Guthrie it can get.

My kind of poetry.

I occasionally mention use of a cell phone, but that’s the extent of tech for me. I write literary fiction in different setting (horror, fantasy, “regular”), so I’m focused on the people and their actions and motivations. But maybe this will prompt me to do something with this. #HottorWritersChat

AITA for frightening a boy to death?

I (15m) was chatting with my love (15f) when he came along being obnoxious then chased me into the woods. In my defense I didn’t know I could see in the dark and move that silently and fast. I was only toying with him, then Bam!, he was dead. #HorrorWritersChat

Bad drawing. Titled Blue Jeans Gorilla Jesus Has Great Jeans. Blue Jeans Gorilla Jesus is reclining in a sexy pose with his head on one hand and one leg bent and crossed over the other. He is saying, Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful. Brooke Shields, Kelly LeBrock, and a trio of other people are looking on and all are saying, We love you, BJGJ!

Heavenly jeans…

List of films or series showing my relation to Kevin Bacon. Me-Moses Goods-Jason Momoa-Nicole Kidman-Julianne Moore-Kevin Bacon. Shows are Kava Kultcha-Chief of War-Aquaman-The Hours-Sirens.

Ha! I’m within six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

I need second breakfast.
