It's a lot easier to write when you're unaware that the person sending you "fan" mail today came to your site originally from searches for torrents of your books.
Series books are awful because it involves this process of severing yourself from the work to release it and then trying to reconnect.

LRT, like it's unspeakably disheartening.
Creativity doesn't exactly flourish when you're faced with how little people value you, your work, your consent.
Or when you see a stream of people in your site stats looking for illegal copies of a book while you're trying to work on the sequel.

I actually enjoy paying for things, and I didn't realize that was weird?
"Writers will usually give you books if you just ask!" this is true, people offer me books, but I like buying them? And I like paying for art, whether commissions or something for my walls?

Colleen Jones was larger than life.
I’m devastated by her death. And will be forever inspired by how she lived. And fought. And loved.
More than anything I’ll miss our laughs and lattes. And am so grateful for every second we had together. I love you, Coll.

I read a detailed review of Chris Hemsworth's "A Road Trip to Remember" and (while there is no way on God's green earth I will be watching it), I truly hope it brings people some comfort.

Everytime I see a post about piracy going by, I whisper, "I'm so sorry, Bluesky. I won't start any more discourse this year."

Piracy update: I have been informed that I have never experienced hardship or poverty in my life and so that's why I am so out of touch.
God bless this website and the dumbasses on it.

Leaving aside the profound ignorance it reveals, it also doesn't make any sense. Just today I've seen it expressed in both an anti AI sentiment and a pro piracy sentiment. Which is the slavery? When people can steal your labor or when they can't?

"Digital slavery" has entered the piracy chat.
I really need everybody to understand that nothing is slavery but slavery. That is not a comparison you make.

I dont know why Mfs cant just say "I want free shit" instead of trying to dress it up in the language of faux-righteousness. It's 2025, dawg. You can be a shameless asshole and get away with it these days.

Oh this is so sad. I loved watching her play. And so young.
Colleen Jones has died.
One of the greatest curlers in Canadian history, she appeared at the Scotties 21 times, winning six championships. She also won two World Championships. Jones was also a broadcaster on CBC for four decades before she retired.

I own one of Jack's necklaces and it's gorgeous. I highly recommend one.
Good morning Monday! It's a grey and dreary day out there, how about a little lepidolite to brighten things up?

DIETARY INDISCRETION
Took my dog to emergency vet after theee days of diarrhea that didn't want to resolve on its own. Large vet bill couple hours later, they diagnosed her with "dietary indiscretion". Damned if she didn't take that as a challenge 😳
