Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

It’s about having red hair and freckles FFS and how to be cool with that when other kids make fun of it. By that twisted logic, you’d have to ban pretty much every children’s book, old and new www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/e...

Write fearlessly. Write like your parents, your boss, your third grade teacher will never, ever read it. Write from the darkest, most private corners of your mind. Put yourself out there. The real you. The fearless you. That's where you keep the best and most real art. The art that can change us.

Writer's block is usually one of two things:
1) You haven't figured out what to write. If this, step away. Go to a quiet place & think. 90% of writing happens away from your desk.
2) Fear what you write will suck. If this, accept that it will & remember no one gets to see it until it's finished.

If I was the outgoing president, and 82 years old…in this situation…I would be doing any and everything I thought might stop this madness. What…I’m going to prison for the rest of my short life? Nah. We already know Presidents don’t go to prison. Be bold.

Both attackers in Las Vegas and New Orleans were military veterans clearly suffering mental health crises and under the influence of violent ideologies. So why is one a “troubled, decorated veteran” and the other is just a terrorist?

For me the goal in 2025 is this: amidst the work, amidst the chaos and the worry, amidst of all of what is to come and what is to be done about it... I am going to aggressively pursue joy both in my writing and out of it. Less a resolution, more a dogged, committed mission to seek joy big and small.

WEIRD, BUT TRUE: If Luigi Mangione had killed an unarmed homeless Black man instead of the white millionaire CEO of an insurance company, he could have gone to a football game with Elon Musk's co-President instead of facing life in prison.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.
Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Writing is a lot like weight training. You won't be able to lift a lot at first. You start small. Short session, light weights. Day by day though you get just a *little* stronger. Eventually your sessions get longer, the bars get heavier, and everyone says "I could never do that." Just like you did.

I often get asked if the world is getting better, or is it getting worse?
My answer is simple: Which one do you want? So, go, choose the future you want, and work for it.
That’s what our ancestors did, and we can too.
