Bummed to not be coming through again this fall. Hopefully next year!

This bit does morph the longer it goes on 😂

TFW, you think you're vibing on a dating app and they hit you with the "Christ is good," even though your profile says you're Jewish.

I love spending time with writers and coming away feeling invigorated, inspired, ready to write some absolute nonsense and send it to people

Transferring terminals for flight #2!

Apparently it's possible to arrive at LAX before TSA opens your terminal. Who knew?

I may or may not be using tonight's all nighter as an excuse to clear as many of the remaining JAKE subs as I can (finished my quota, but hell, there are writers waiting for us).

I think the creek is (generously) 3 ft deep 😂

Haha. Not this time!

Packing for writer camp right now, and I might be able to make it there with just a carry on, no backpack? What sorcery is this???

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

L.M. Cole is taking over for me as EIC of JAKE. I'm still staying with the team, in a reduced role. Thank you everyone for sharing your work with our silly website these past few years, and letting me build such a great team of collaborators!

They're live! Ready to be checked out now!

Forgot to bring a sweatshirt to work today (my desk is right under the AC vent) so today will just be a cold day, I guess 🥶

Getting great books in front of readers has always been the goal. I'm so proud of our JAKE team of authors and editors for getting to the point where this is becoming a reality!

Lmao, I guess not. I thought the call was Friday, 😂

Malarkey Book Club — Malarkey

One gets sick of promoting books, would much rather just work on them. No one else is gonna promote these things, though, not for what we can afford ($0), so anyway we are still giving away a free t-shirt to new book club subscribers!

Am I going to submit to HAD three times in three weeks? Maybe!
