Have not figured out how to monetize this.

This is good! Thank you!

Oh, that’s easy. Sell plasma.

If you were to take or teach a 2-hour master class on POV for writers of middle-grade fiction, what would you want to cover? #kidlit #middlegrade

It seemed like the obvious thing to do. Surprised no one else was doing it.

When Sea World still had a petting tank I summoned several dolphins with wet hand farts. It was unnerving, tbh.

How many bombs to kill an 86-year-old who was likely to keel over at any moment?

savory pie > sweet pie

I was more a fan of his short stories than his novels and have zero desire to revisit them.

Okay, you put in your time.

Get over yourself and listen to some 38 Special. Don’t be precious.

Oh, no. I'm sorry, Bo.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.

Understood instantly what it meant.

They won't even bring me pizza.

I just called 911 about it.
