My copy of Thomas Pynchon’s Shadow Ticket came in today!

The safety officer at my local high school had to break up a fight between the Antifa recruiters and the Army recruiters. SMH 😒

#writers What are some of your firsts?

Things I like: writing

Things I don’t like: being too tired to write.

Is chronos a new street drug or are you reading some newly translated scrap of mythology I’m unaware of?

#Readers, never have I ever
1. Read a Kindle Book
2. Won first in a poetry slam
3. Read Allen Ginsberg with friends sober

Two truths and lie. Guess my lie in the comments! 😝

Inspiring! Congrats. 🙂

Saying “No shade, but” to the flannel-clad trucker casually leaning on the counter at my workplace before dismantling his entire anti-woke ideology just for giggles.

Autumn vibes are coming! ☕️🍁
#Readers, check out my fall season fiction published in 3:AM Magazine www.3ammagazine.com/3am/irony/

99 pages, 30 thousand words. No, it’s not a book—it’s just one chapter of 13. My WIP might end up an epic wrist-breaker. #writing

The dramatic monologue I wrote Thursday night will be produced by one of my local theaters! 🎭 It’s going to be so fun to see how the actor interprets his lines! #theater

The Renaissance Dialogue by Virginia Cox

Whiskey and reading because I’m too worn out with cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing all day to clean up my kid’s mess. We’ll make a game of it tomorrow. Here’s to stay-at-home dad life. 🥃 Cheers!

If the rapture is really happening then, Biblically, that means the antichrist is in power. And those who follow the the deceiver aren’t real people of God. So, yeah, the Venn Diagram of Christians following Trump and Christians raptured would be two, non-overlapping circles.

Where’d all my Unitarian Universalist friends go? It’s like they all up and vanished today for some reason.

I interneted too hard today. It’s past 10 and I’ve only read for maybe an hour today. 😕

#books

You ever get so exited about writing that it’s nearly impossible to stay sitting down at the writing desk?

#writers

Hell yeah! 🤘

When I was a kid the future was flying cars and alien contact. Living in the future is putting “No AI writing ever” in my author bio. 🫤

I eat books for breakfast. 📕 🥄 Seriously though, I sometimes do intermittent fasting and read through the hunger.

After hunting for buried treasure for the better part of an hour, I was allowed to discontinue use of my pirate voice to read the toddler her three bedtime books. 🏴‍☠️ 📚 #parenting

I love when scammers message me with “Hey fellow KDP author! What’s the hardest part of publishing for you?” And I reply, “What’s a KDP author? Is that a book genre?”

It’s okay to transition from lyrical philosophy to slapstick within the same sentence, right? 😅 #amwriting

You stole my director!

If Dark Star is on the Criterion Channel still, I highly recommend.

Can anyone tell me where Fall weather exists 365? 🍂📖☕️

I’m on a book buying ban. I can ONLY buy books on my reading list, my wish list, books I’ve screen captured on my phone, books from any indie bookstores I’ve never visited, or any books with a cool cover. Other than that NO MORE BOOKS FOR ME. #books

Another acceptance letter in the inbox! I think it’s gonna be a good day! 😸

I spent my evening writing a new intro to my novel. It just sort of came to me. Basically an expansion of my epigraph. Damn, I’m happy with this new beginning.

My first drafts are usually done with pen and paper. I’ve actually been using unlined printer paper and pen for my writing these past 2 decades. I’m revising the novella, but need to expand it some. I’ll likely use pen and paper for those parts!

It’s writing time! I’m attacking the novella today. What are you writing?
