All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

Monmouth county, N.J., has a smug aura that it hasn’t earned.

Thanks to tarlcabot25, I’m going to watch the broadcast diction of MST3K’s The Dead Talk Back. I love when an alarm blares and Mike and the bots are horrified.

I just checked, it’s still happening. Very funereal and harmonica heavy. Please play this for 2 hours when I die.

Write a memoir about how you became a funeral director, I thought. It’ll be easier this time, no research.
Here my list of things to research:
-Paleolithic burial culture
-animals that mourn
-ancient Egyptian funerary culture
-Interview my mom about my past

If you listen to Vecna’s monologue at the end of Stranger Things s4, you’ll notice some similarities with the Unabomber. I think they’d get along.

Day 4 of writing about writing. This blog post is about my editing process & why I cut certain cemeteries from my book. Editing my manuscript was harder than writing it.

Snow, rain, or shine - we're out here on the picket lines ☃️ It's DAY NINETEEN of our national ULP strike.

Our striking baristas in Rockford, IL are braving the weather to make sure Starbucks hears our demands loud an clear: stop union busting and settle a fair contract! #nocontractnocoffee

I see people using AI and it makes me sad. I see people sending me AI and it makes me angry.
If you’re using AI to write your stories or create your art, you’re robbing yourself. I don’t have to let you rob me or Kaleidotrope’s readers.

Yoooo this person wrote a book about graveyards in New Jersey, where I grew up and while I don't think I went to any graveyards there, fellow (at the time) teens were more brave and would hang out there, taking headstone rubbing and pics.

My mom just told me her friend tried to buy my book on Amazon and it’s temporarily sold out. 🥹 Now I need a favor: if you bought my book it would be so helpful if you could leave a review. I don’t care if it’s Amazon, Goodreads or my publisher’s website. Let me tell you why this is important.

I’m off today so I’m ignoring all work texts. The only thing work related that I care about is that my Italian repatriation gets on that plane.

Please write book reviews for #indiaauthors after you read their books. It’s vital!

Happy birthday, Mark Twain. If he were still alive today I’m sure we’d all be terrified because he’d be 190 years old.

Y'all: Leave reviews. Leave honest reviews. It helps authors SO much.
