Look up my "Untranslatable" story collection...

Nope. Just a rare moment of whatever is in your head visibly escaping into the world in its rawest form - that there is your next novel...

Lucifer has a point

Nope. Look around, there are a lot of people walking that road with you...

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

To paraphrase Le Guin: fantasy is escapist, and we must take as many with us as possible.

Yep. This.

I introduced my mother to Charlton Heston...

Um. To borrow a line from Chariots of Fire, " it's the coach who should do the asking" my beta readers are people I know and trust and on whose wisdom and experience I can rely. If you're asking how to "apply" for the job... you're already disqualified...

Paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone

Today the paperback of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out.

It's arriving in a country once again waging war—a country that can spend tens of billions on bombs without blinking, while millions of Americans are one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from homelessness.

Does he have to pick a fight with EVERYBODY???

...one too many AI enshittification posts in my feed this morning. And here I am putting real effort into writing the best book I can write... *I*, not some stupid AI imitator... and I have to wonder how many people out there will actually even be able to read it, if this murder of language goes on.

Holy fucking mother of God the human race is doomed.
