Kinda annoyed by that "how often men think about Ancient Rome" meme, because I guarantee you I think about Ancient Rome x10 more than any of my male friends.

Found out there's a manga about my man Pliny the Elder and I'm having a blast. (He did, too.)

As it turns out, the "Kennedy Curse" wasn't that the smart ones were killed, but that the stupid one survived.

Me: Write like 3k words in six months.

Also me: Write 60k words in two weeks.

Consistent, I am not.

I watched HBO's Rome and thought Octavia got a crap deal, so I decided to write a story where my Octavia got to take her revenge instead.

Real ones know the Olympic was cooler than the Titanic because the Olympic didn't sink, but sunk other ships (and a submarine) in a 20 year vengeance tour instead.

Are you kidding me I have a whole dang book where a character slowly goes insane and I didn't use "sane" once in the entire thing?

I am almost finished with my final perfecting edit of my novel and I cannot wait to query you and get that big R.

(jk, but every new book I have I query you first even for the rejection. It's a ritual at this point.)

I just checked and Luna hasn't signed it yet.

But if she keeps her word, then they need to start flipping two more.

Oh God, since I found out JD Twat used to be called "Bowman" and I looked it up--not only did he come from the same area my family came from, I'm distantly (like, six generations back) related to him.

Ew ew ew ew. I'm glad he changed his name. We Bowmans don't want him.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

In High School, I did Creative Writing, and every year they inducted the best writer (picked by the teachers) into the Writing Honors Society.

One girl was sure she got it, she bragged to everyone that it was already hers...then I got the nom instead.

Anyway, I'll see you in Hell, Brittany.

When my sister got married, the minister asked if she would promise to love and support her husband, to help him achieve his dreams...while saying nothing about him helping with her dreams.

Anyway, I'm still mad about it so I wrote an entire fantasy book about destroying the patriarchy.

If Cracker Barrel sets them off, imagine how theyโ€™ll react when they hear I went woke in the New Testament โ€” turning the other cheek, feeding the poor, all that radical stuff.
