Text which reads:

β€œY’know, boys,” came a rasping, slurred voice, β€œit’s real rude to point guns at our talent even if they do whoop your ass till the crack turns sideways.”

Bubbles the clown stepped out from between the trailers, still half in his smeared makeup, a beat-up hunting rifle slung lazy in his arms. The grin painted on his face made his eyes look harder than they ever had before. The smell of rotgut 'shine held fast to him. His ginger curls were pressed to one side of his face, where Jamie guessed the clown'd been half in the bag already when the fight broke out.

The old man raised the barrel and leveled it at Trapper. β€œNow, why don’t you be the good ole boys I know y'all are and take your drunk asses home?”

Trapper froze. For a second, the world held its breath.

Then he spat, clumsily holstered the gun in the front of his jeans, and stumbled backward, muttering curses that sounded half like prayers. His friends followed, limping toward the road.

Jamie hoped he blew his own dick off.

Bubbles kept the rifle trained until they were gone, then finally lowered it. β€œYou good, cowboy?”

Jamie nodded once. β€œYeah.”

Bubbles studied him. β€œYou sure? You look like you just went twelve rounds with your own shadow.”

Jamie forced a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. β€œGuess I did.”

Revision for Sawdust Saints is coming along amazingly. Bubbles is a side character that is so fun to write. #amwriting #writingcommunity

We were watching Star Trek DS9 when it froze on an image of Cmdr. Sisko looking intense. Then ad audio played for Lindor. So we had an image of Sisko while the audio was just saying "smooth, irresistible chocolate", and I think this confluence of events actually killed me and I'm ghost-posting now.

One of them has eyes on opposite sides of its head, meaning it, and only it, is an herbivore.

The stupidest possible chocolate-covered marshmallow spiders one could ever imagine. These aren't even spiders. These are spooders.

I now know what Victor Frankenstein felt when he gazed upon the hideousness of his creation.

My water flavor syrup bounced off the ice in my drink, and my desk, momentarily, looked like I murdered the Kool-Aid Man in cold blood.

Y'all someone in one of my writing servers just said they wanted to write a book about a fictional country having a revolution, but they worried about it being seen as plagiarizing Hamilton. I had to explain to this person that the American Revolutionary War was not invented by Lin Manuel Miranda.

Today, I spent a half an hour failing to convince a younger writer not to name his elf main character "Syphalis" because according to him it sounded cool "like Legolas and Sisyphus," and we were just dirty-minded for immediately thinking of the almost identical venereal disease.

I wrote a tailor-made horror recommendations list for a member of a server I'm a mod on. Spent like 40 minutes on it, keeping in mind each thing he told me about what he liked. Only to be accused of using ChatGPT. I'm so fucking tired of this shit.
