I'm so sorry for your loss.

I feel your pain. Slathering on Icy hot and wondering if dismantling the old grill was worth it.

Has he told Putin and Xi that?

Hemingway was a travel bore who just wrote to mention every feckin restaurant he walked past in Paris. We get it, you visited Paris. BFD.

Admirable planning - clearly not a pantser!

ACLU probably has a deep archive of evidence.

Great news! So deserved - love how he shares his voice.

I loved exploring a completely (to me) new genre and loved your insights. So enjoy being in this group with you.

Looking forward to discussing @stephenking.bsky.social β€˜s classic in my writing craft group today (fiction writers who met at The Book incubator discussing how the authors do what they do). Never read horror before - hooked now.

Yikes. That’d keep me awake all night.

I talked to the future in an AI-powered phone booth... and found some home I struggle with climate pessimism. But last week, I had a chance to talk to the future, and, well, it’s not as bad as I thought.

I had a chance to talk to the future - a very fun exercise given my novel is set in the near future and I spend way too much of my time thinking about how the world will turn out.

Got both at same time and had a slightly crappy night (body temp up 1.2 degrees, heart rate a bit higher) and a bit woozy in morning but aOK by noon.

I've had that dream.

Except most of what was revised is before he came back into office. I am so cynical now that I wonder if they pushed late-Biden numbers artificially low so T's numbers will look flat instead of down. Might have been tempted after their boss was fired for truth in numbers...

Keep it all - just disperse it through action. If sci-fi can spend ages building detailed worlds, so can you. The fact that it's true is a bonus.

BTW - I misspoke - *you* looked spectacular. It looked lovely on you!

It looked spectacular - interesting how the very light blue looks white in almost all photos.

I wear those velcro-on braces and it helps it from escalating - if only by reminding me to wiggle until I find a less-uncomfortable set up.

Clearly, it's the population of swallows, small to large.

Q: What is the one thing you really hope we don't ask about during your hydrocodone-spiced AMA?

I’d forgive you not selling my book if I received a cobbler every so often. Tastes better than disappointment, I’m sure.

If there's a literary award where the prize is a cat (certifi-cat?) instead of some trophy, I'll write more...
