Golden Girls: Love is Golden is out TODAY! What would be REALLY cool is if you bought it at your local bookstore like, say, Bookstore Plus here in Lake Placid NY where I am for the holiday. Shopping small does wonders for your community as well as your SOUL. Now go forth and spread the love.

“simply brilliant storytelling… easily one of IDW Publishing’s strongest Star Trek titles… one of those comics I’m impatiently waiting for as each month crawls toward its end. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do when this run finally concludes.”

Another excellent chapter of #StarTrek: Voyager – Homecoming. Heavy atmosphere, big stakes, and some brilliant storytelling.

I don't have children or student loans, and I bought a house with money left to me when my mother died, and I never leave those three things out of the "how did you transition into freelancing full time" conversation because otherwise it is WILDLY disingenuous to talk about how writing pays my bills
And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

Landlords called while I was at work. I ignored the call but just seeing the number on the phone caused enough anxiety that I hid in the bathroom for 10+ minutes to calm down. Home now, I still need to listen to the message but I'm going to try to unclench first.

People stop me everywhere I go and ask me for help. Today I was sitting on a bench outside the oil change place and a woman pulled in and asked me if I could look up the nearest T Mobile location for her because her phone died. I did so and she drove off. She wasn’t even here for an oil change, lol

Oh, good the whole book piracy discourse is back, in which a bunch of people with no money argue about whether a bunch of other people with no money deserve to get paid for their labor or not while a few billionaires hoover up all the money from everybody's labor.
Yay.

I 100% agree and would add that if you are hosting a holiday event and you do NOT have something festive, creative and delicious for your guests to drink without alcohol in it, you are actually an asshole
don't make them drink tap water while everyone else has bespoke cocktails!

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
