Hear me out

This lunch lady land shirt, but make it a dress (with pockets)

Then I buy 12 and go full Steve Jobs and never where anything else ever again

Forty hours left until this giveaway closes! We're giving away ten ARCs of @victormanibo.com 's THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED on Goodreads and it will, err, haunt you if you don't get in on that . . .
Based on true events, THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED is a contemporary gothic horror set in a cursed manor on a coconut plantation—it’s got ghosts and witches and creepy crawlies and demons, all coming for you this fall.

Thank you, @megelison.bsky.social for the kind words!

Chatbots commenting on AI articles about chatbots feels like that Ray Bradbury house where all the robotic, automated processes keep running long after the humans are extinct.

When I was younger, I was hurt many times when I confused my idea of someone with who they really were.

I’m glad to report I’m now a writer, and my idea of someone is much more important than who they actually are.

They needed the money, Ingrid. You can’t expect them to keep parking their carcasses at the Happiness Hotel.

They are called writers
we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

too many people think the answer to "I've written something, what now" is getting published when really the answer is cleaning your room, making a roast, refilling the bird feeder. writing is also the living we do. it's not a way to get recognition in the same way that flossing isn't.

7: Nah. I’m good with my brain.

Oh hey, my new novel, LITTLE NIGHTMARES: THE LONELY ONES, is also eligible for the Bram Stoker Awards if any HWA member liked it well enough to recommend it for the Reading List. It's age 12+, so technically YA, though I consider it upper middle grade. 🙏
Horror folks, it's the middle of September, and the Stoker Recommended Reading List is looking extremely small. If you're a member of the HWA, go recommend something you've read that you loved!

Autism and ADHD run in my family.
We didn’t “get it” from Tylenol. Or a vaccine. We don’t need a registry. We don’t need toxic metals removed from our brains.

We are poets and painters and engineers and parents and children and—

We are not broken.
We are not a problem that needs to be fixed.

Is anyone with a nice place getting raptured tomorrow?

If you could just give me the heads up, I’d like to call dibs.

I’ll leave my house to a less fortunate,
equally unworthy person. I’m not greedy.

Sorry to everyone who has asked me for poems in the last two years. My fingers do not seem to know a poem from a poetato.
went to reference a previous request to see more work from a nice university journal's decline and saw it was from FIVE YEARS AGO do you think they'll still remember me

“…Now, it is true that the nature of society is to create, among its citizens, an illusion of safety; but it is also absolutely true that the safety is always necessarily an illusion. Artists are here to disturb the peace.”
