He learned. He got better. He focused on craft.

He devoted himself to authorship. And he became an author.

You can, too.

If you have big dreams for your book, don't ask yourself, "Who am I?"

Ask a different question.

"Why not me?"

- A.J. Harper in *Write a Must-Read*

"Thereโ€™s really only one question that can be answered, Genry, and we already known the answerโ€ฆ. The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty:

not knowing what comes next.โ€

OG DIABLO

I remember getting a CD demo of that game. I loved it so much I thought I might be possessed so I went out back and smashed the CD with a hammer.

My wife just went through a second trimester miscarriage this morning.

And as I lay in bed, unable to fall asleep, a tiny, shamed part of me is relieved that I can finally be sad about something that people might understand.

It's pretty simple. My unborn daughter died, and my wife almost did too.

I just got feedback from my first beta reader (and the first person to read my whole WIP)

And, they said it is NOT A PILE OF TRASH.

THEY LIKED IT.

EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO CRY IN THE CORNER.

My WIP is a sapphic biopunk novel.

When people ask me what sqpphic biopunk is, I tell them

"Lesbian Wolverine"

That seems to lock it down.

This is an understated win

- you have friends
- you have a place to hang
- you are willing and able to host

Any dream with Jennifer Garner is a winner in my book, though.

Had a dream once where Jennifer Garner provided cover fire for me while I performed an emergency C-section on a fish pregnant with a human baby.

Turned it into a really kickass short story about an alien race who used fish as surrogates because they could imbue the babies with super powers.

Like, I get that money isn't the solution for alot of things, but if you can't eat or have a roof over your head it's really hard to address any of the other shit

There were a few years of my life where I'd get drunk on the weekends and randomly find trans peoples go-fund-me's and donate thousands of dollars

That was back when I was a single captain, though

Things are so different financially now. but still, when I get drunk I just want to give people money
