Dog dad, husband, aspiring polyglot, native plant proselytizer. Author of the upcoming sci-fi novel AEONS. www.aeons.world
On Monday, I did the hardest thing I’ve ever done: said goodbye to my girlie.

This year was one of my worst. The world flipped upside down. Politics orphaned me. Every agent rejected my sci-fi novel.

But now I have this Xmas message from @scalzi.com whenever I want to give up. Thank you, sir.

For all those feeling unaccomplished from seeing other people’s posts about how much they did in 2025:

It’s okay if your crowning achievement for the year was that you survived it.

I feel awful saying this, but I like fake maple syrup better than the real stuff. 😭

Anybody remember when diet pills were the biggest fear for youths in the late 80s and early 90s? What happened to that?

"There is no cure. You will be dead in 32 minutes."
"Why do you keep saying that?!"
"Because you will be dead in 32 minutes."

“Write to the market.”

You’ll never catch the market. By the time you’ve written it, the market is gone. Write what you’re on fire to write, and sometimes the market shows up.
what is your least favorite piece of writing advice and why? 👀

This is not something I share with pride, but in solidarity.

I have now queried 100 literary agents.

While I do not have much optimism left, hope will always be more powerful than fear. Whatever happens, it will all be fine.

🚨THAT'S A WRAP!

And just like that, the 5 year mission has ended.

While there's still a ways to go on post-production, the fifth and final season of #StrangeNewWorlds has wrapped principle photography.

Season 4 is set for a 2026 premiere.

Getting ready to quit querying.

Also, no idea why I’m posting this since nobody actually follows me on here. 🤷🏼‍♂️

90s kids really did have it the best. Reading Rainbow? The arm circles workout video? Amazing.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

#StarTrek: Starfleet Academy has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever by killing off the entire cast of Dawson’s Creek dolls in the first episode and be like, “lol tricked ya,” and make the show something incredibly dark and moody.

Time travel is the writer’s most interesting power. Knowing how all my characters live and die, I think of them as the entirety of their existence, dropping into specific moments based on my mood, remembering their future in the past. Even characters yet unborn on paper already died long ago.

Let’s talk about the scam of “up to xx% off” sales.

One item—ONE—is 60% off. Everything else is 10% off. Retailer gets away with it not being misleading in the most strained sense possible.

Gross.

English is ridiculous. How do you pronounce the word “button”? I pronounce it “buh-in.” No “t” in it. And I just realized this.

Ah. So this is why Star Trek is trending. I… erm… I will reserve judgment. Yessir, reserve judgment. I definitely won’t be calling it Degrassi: The Next Next Generation.

Damnit.
