@michaelwehunt.bsky.social, just wrapped (ha?) October Film Haunt, and what a ride. Super engaging and I actually got weepy on Coleman’s last chapter. Definitely held me hard during the whole run.
No, I don’t think I want to belong, if you know what I mean. ❤️

Lately, I’ve noticed I’m reassuring guests at the bookstore after they drop a big purchase with:
“It’s ok, there’s worse things to spend money on…like bills…”

I just popped on Twitter an hour ago and I’m in disbelief how my timeline is actually showing, writers, agents, INDUSTRY PEOPLE after a damn year of poking on to irrelevant shit and soft porn. Like, I’m actually willing to go back in a bit. I have no clue what happened, but I hope it stays that way

Literally had a guest at the bookstore argue with me that he remembers when he needed a code for the restrooms at our store
I’ve been in this building since 2014, we have never had codes to the restrooms. Hell, there’s no doors to ENTER the whole of the restrooms.
He absolutely wouldn’t believe me

When your parents are visiting for the weekend, so you do the mad dash of apartment cleaning, because it’s too hot for two to three months to clean within the space, and you’re already running a river of sweat before you’ve even scrubbed the bathroom 🥲🥲🥲
I’ll get it together someday soon

I definitely am taking baby steps coming back inti writing after the pandemic shattered my routine. It’s not easy. I agree with everyone that creative burnout can happen, but shit also comes to you on its own terms. It’s not worth it to force anything.
Okay, here's my hot writing take of the week:
I think the narrative of "A writer writes because they must" has done a lot of psychological damage to a lot of writers.
Let me tell you, in a truly supportive way: You don't have to be a writer.

Well hello hello and welcome to another Wednesday! I welcome you, horror writers, and all things dark.
I wanted to talk about what we sell our souls for today. When we don't write. Or maybe you earn your living writing. Tell me all!
Side hustles, raising hellions, it all counts.

This is for future me to remember when I get my new laptop later this month. Cause OneDrive is the death of me
if you’re tired of Word/excel/PPT asking to save files to OneDrive and would rather default to your local computer, it’s in Preferences > Save - uncheck the top box
(whose wording sounds nothing like having this functionality)

Does anyone have recommendations for websites that source ethical LGBTQA+ Ally clothing? Especially for tall/large male? My library supervisor is on the hunt for such ethical, supportive clothing!

“You can only smack the dog you pet so many times before it doesn’t come back.”

I’ve tried twice to hang curtains in my apartment, and I keep getting thwarted! 🤦♀️
The first time was me not realizing I’d probably need a drill. When I found Kwik Hangs, I just put them on—they’re too small for the rods I bought.
I’m trying. It’s been two and a half years, but I’m still trying.

For my animal lovers, my friend needs help with his little guy. Anything helps!
Hey y'all its been awhile. If any of you know, my little guy just had a surgery, and the bill was pretty hefty (and not covered by his insurance.) If you have the means to help, or even to share, it would be much appreciated!!

My grandma fell and had a concussion yesterday (she’s ok, thank God), but my mom said when they did vocal checks like, “What year is it?…repeat these three words back to us…”
By the time they asked who the president was, she laughed and said, “You’re joking, right?”
Love you, grandma. 😂❤️❤️

I completely forgot about independent bookstore day, cause we had chaos at my library job this morning, but then I was asked to go to my (chain) bookstore job in the evening to cover callouts, so books were involved today—just not independently purchased and with lots of exhaustion in the mix? 🥴😵💫😴

I had a patron at my library job yesterday ask if I could show her how to put a cassette in a tape player.
Now—she’s at an age she would’ve been using cassettes 2 decades more than me. And I told her it’s probably been 2 decades since I used one, but I was happy I remembered how to put it in 😭

Was pretty much crying last night, cause I realized I need to get away from Word if I get back into writing, but I’m not sure how to approach where/how I want to do my writing next.
And I have to figure out how to extract my files from OneDrive. I’m absolutely frustrated and stressed. 😭

Anyone familiar with Norton Antivirus?
We have it on my laptop, but I’m just now being made aware that it’s not a great program, and if others can vouch for that, I need to let my dad know I don’t want it on whatever laptop I get next. Apparently it can work against your computer or something close
