Which cover do you like better? The cover is for a satirical science-fantasy novel. #writingcommunity

My final cover design is done. What do you think?

There is nothing quite as American as smothering a lean meet in mayonnaise and calling it a "salad."

Does anyone else claim they like seafood salad when really they just enjoy shamelessly eating large amounts of mayonnaise?

Just got my review back from SPR. 4.5 stars and my favorite line is, "Offering wickedly clever commentary on liberation, human nature, and the soul-sucking nature of capitalism, this sardonic but incisive novel crackles with Vonnegutian wit."

Now that X is clearly controlled by the guy who licks the boots of Cheeto Mussolini, I'm trying to move to BlueSky. Please follow and I will #followback if you aren't a bot.

I'm actually raffling off a signed copy of Good Omens if it's of any interest.

My daughter (7): Words are tricky. Babysitting sounds like a bad thing, like sitting on babies, but it's good. But kidnapping sounds like a good thing, like a kid taking a nap, but it's very bad.

It's an epically funny film. The award was well deserved.

It was a great season. Only part that pissed me off was I had a similar bit about Job's children in a book I've been working on for years and then I watched in horror as it was done better than I had done it. I had to rewrite the entire section to remove it and I loved that part.

At least with "Willie Takes a Willie" I would have created something of at least some value rather than arguing that struggling artists should have their intellectual property become worthless upon death.

I'm so glad people are starting to see him for the joke he is. A little man who can't even conquer a fictional kingdom, much less run an entire country.

It's my understanding that copyrighted work created by a corporation is protected 95 years after first publication. Works by individuals are protected 70 after death. If they expired upon death, corporations would be at a creative advantage and more creators would simply form corporations.

My Daughter (7): Eggplants are berries.
Me: That can't be right.
::Googles::
Well I'll be damned. Eggplants are berries.

My Wife: If we could get any kind of dog, what would you want?

Me: An English Bulldog. I need a dog that makes me look like I've got my shit together by comparison.
