Man. That Gaethje/Pimblett UFC fight was HOT. They were throwing bombs and neither one dropped. What a great fight.

...this is basically all the time I write now. It would be significantly harder for me to write something happy and fluffy than just the worst, most gruesome shit you can imagine or maybe don't want to.

If I ever get a date, she really should be an optimistic extravert to cancel out all of *this*.

Not saying, just saying. Enjoy the mental rabbit hole on this cold, cold, punkass cold Saturday.

Another 1800 words this afternoon. I really hope the feeling of slowly building dread in the story comes across effectively. It's only about 45-ish pages in but it is hard to sprinkle breadcrumbs so early!

It’s glaring just how much a social media hiatus has killed my sales the last couple of months.

Ah well. Mental health is much better.

That said, here are a couple of odd, small books about trauma and loss.

Well, I'm having to look up specific poisons and how they affect the human body and I forgot to go into Incognito Mode so it's been nice knowing you. The government watchlist is going to make me turbo-disappear.

Is anyone else's mood affected by what they write? I'm working on the big horror book that will likely be the nastiest thing I ever write. I haven't even hit the meat of the story and just the world the story exists in is like weights in my brain. Not necessarily BAD but bleak AF as the kids say.

Wait, what do you mean I have to write all the different letters AND the deaths associated with him because the story requires all of them? What kind of unfair crap is that?

Social media is rapidly losing its luster for me. I don't use Threads or Instagram. Facebook is nearly entirely blocked ads. Twitter is bots and spam and no engagement - sports news is all that's left there for me. Bluesky is becoming insufferable no matter how much I try to tailor my feeds. Sucks.

I don't 'abstain' from pounding down fistfuls of meth and then driving 100 MPH the wrong way down the interstate at rush hour because it's a personal choice. I avoid it entirely because it's ruinous on many levels. I don't need someone 'controlling' it. I need the option to fuck off entirely.
AI sits in billions of phones. Refusing to engage won't stop it, just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge. Demand ownership and control, not abstinence.

Okay, give me a word count goal to shoot for this week. Internal motivation clearly isn't working so hit me with some external accountability!

LinkedIn, while only nominally useful from the outset, has now become a breeding ground for bots, scammers, and AI apologists. The whole grunting, drooling beast is rotting from the inside out. Why do fun websites die out while that lumbering behemoth of AI glazing gets to live? Unfair.

Please, never be shy telling an author you loved their books.

It’s seriously what gets us through.

Immortel. It is, by description, a '2004 English language French live-action and animated science fiction film'.

It is titties on toast bizarre. I can't say I enjoyed it or hated it. It just...existed.
