he claimed that he had a permit to hold his world's specialest little fascist birthday boy party in the rotunda of the building but didn't bother to actually get one and seemed unaware that city hall is always closed on saturdays.

It also tends to lean very ‘if you disagree with me you are BOO BOO THE FOOL’ even though no one’s publishing journey is the same. Dude on Facebook, you do not have All The Answers, maybe take a deep breath?

Watching folks give publishing advice on Facebook is always so interesting. Some of it is very relevant! Some of it feels like it’s coming from someone who has never been in a bookstore?

And honestly loss of respect is mild. It’s wild to look at large celebrities and have concrete evidence they don’t care about my community. Just out in the open, treated like a fun little fact… not even headline worthy.
Disgusting.

It makes me feel kinda crazy. Shows how rich and famous folks live in a different world… it’s such an obvious no, for me. Teachers come into my bookshop and talk about it all the time. And then these people are like oh… haven’t really thought about it much.
Immediate loss of respect for me.

It will make your prose better. Dialogue, especially (at least I found).
It’s an investment in your prose. There’s no hiding in comics writing — and your ability to choreograph in prose will improve too.
All types of writing are connected. Improving one is improving them all.

Got to experience a moment where after the director went over a scene, the whole cast was struck silent.
A room full of actors? Silent all at once?
You KNOW it was something real special.
(It’s so good I love stage managing)

Hey Vancouver and area locals — wanna see some damn good theatre in a few weeks?
Come see Cabaret.
This is a new theatre company, doing a show filled with such passion and frank relevance.

They are exactly the kind of small presses we need, and I appreciate them so much, as an author and as a reader.
So go check them and their rad back catalogue out! And not just because my novella is there.
Also, can I just say? I’m maybe bias, but their covers are STUNNING.

They loved it. 💫

The hate and bias that is hidden behind ‘real name’ is second only to ‘biological’ tbh. Fucking hell.

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

Aw, thanks!?!
No preference on my part! You can order through your local bookstore if you’d like, because local bookstores are awesome, but I don’t have any preference for how one buys it.
