Nope. I have notebook after notebook full of story ideas I'll never have time to write.
Writers, do you ever fear running out of story ideas? This is one fear I don’t have #writingq #WritingCommunity

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

65 degrees in November is absolutely terrifying but no one's going to admit that because everyone thinks cold = bad and hot = good.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Oscar Isaac Was ‘Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ if Disney Does ‘Not Succumb to Fascism’
Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

I got down 800 words yesterday and 300 so far today for #NaNoWriMo / #NovNov / #FirstDraftFall / #NovelNovember and it's frustrating being so slow at this after years of being extremely prolific.

My morning has been spent finalizing my ARC form and making various graphics for different social media platforms advertising the short stories I had published this year. These days, writing has so little to do with actually writing and everything to do with graphic design 😭
