One trick I learned was to accuse the anti-semite bully of being a Jew. Since all bullies are constantly afraid, (MAGA types please copy), the schmuck would fall all over himself denying before his friends could work out on him, while actual Jew me could just fade away. Everything old is new again.

Joy! The Agent and I are going to hunt for wild boar in the woods behind my house, and have a Christmas barbeque. Or maybe we'll do the Chinese restaurant thing as usual, she's not Jewish, but she gets it.

Bragged about: walking into dressing rooms at teen beauty contests, avoiding VD as his personal Viet Nam, grabbing women's genitals, friendship with Epstein. Add judgement in E. Jean Carroll suit and 25+ women accusing him. All circumstantial things, could happen to anybody. Witch hunt!

I do have one authoring trick. Do not write too much or for too long. Set a modest time or page limit, and do not go beyond it. Do not become tired. Take breaks. Talk with friends on the phone. Take naps. Have snacks. Oh wait, that's not my approach to doing writing--that's about any sort of work.

Interview questions asked of writers are always about process. I have been interviewed myself, and they always want to know how it is done. What is the recipe? Personally, I have no idea, and I suspect neither do many other interviewees, so we make stuff up, and possibly come to believe it.

Hooray! The novel is started! Between times, when I am writing nothing, it seems I have no idea how it is done. Then, something happens, I don't know what, and it seems all simple and obvious. (Those were my nicknames in college.)

All of the times I’ve wondered what Putin had on Trump, and now we find out Jeffrey Epstein was talking to Putin’s ambassador about Trump.
Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Want to know how I came to appreciate myself? An Arab maiden who has the mind of a child, when she's not being a high-level scientist, (also claims to love me, fiercely, Arabs, oy vey), patiently explained to me what I have been doing since 1967. Who am I to argue with an IQ like that?

In the audience of he first Neanderthaler to tell a story was another cave-type who thought, "I want to do that," and did, with variations. Another hominid got inspired, and the third work of fiction happened. Until today, it's unbroken and continuous. And we all think ours is original and special.

I can't wait to see it. (I had no idea so many members of the Screen Actors' Guild were lizards.)
@danielpinkwater.bsky.social Apparently they do not weed their old books very often in Indian Lake, NY. Acquired in 1994, last borrowed in 2014.
I actually had not read this one before, but I can see how it will make a great movie!

Let's see. Been accused of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment, by at least 25 women since the 1970s. Found liable of sexual misconduct in a NY court. Judge said wasn't called rape on a technicality. Best friends with a known mega-creep sexual abuser. Nah, has to be a hoax and a witch hunt.

Falling Ill in Africa, and Loving It
Commentator Daniel Pinkwater tells the story of his travels in East Africa in 1967 -- and how one night when he was very ill, lizards stared and him and played around. In retrospect, it was his finest...

I'll tell you how I knew. The last time an obviously middle-eastern type said to me, "Guess what country I'm from," I said Egypt, because his stance was like Boris Karloff in The Mummy, who had obviously prepared by looking at how Egyptians stand, so when this guy said guess, I guessed like before.

So the tech support guy was finishing up and I said, "alhamdulillah!" so he said, "You know Arabic!" and I said, "I know an Arab," and he said, "Guess what country I'm in," and I said, "Egypt," and he said, "How did you know that?" and I said, "I know things." How _did_ I know that?

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I'm saying nothing pro or con, but some people have positive notions about my work, and even me. These people will do well to get a look at books by Jill Pinkwater. This is the actual stuff. People being what they are, (pathetic), I got most of the attention. Jill couldn't have cared less.
