A reminder that my debut werewolf novel "AWOO: The Association of Werewolves and Oppressed Otherlings" may be behind the paywall, but Chapter 1 will always be free so you can get a taste of the mad weirdness of the thing. Check it out here: open.substack.com/pub/writesin...

I don’t know what any of this is about but it’s adorable
All the discourse in the world won’t change the fact that Americans of all ages got to see two guys kissing on the ice, on the big screen, and the crowd response was cheering.
As someone who lost people in the 90s to AIDS, shame and hate, I can’t put the words together to explain how that feels.

Tens of thousands gathered today in the northern Israeli city of Sakhnin to protest the government's criminal negligence of Arab society, which has led to a historically-high murder rate among Israel's Palestinian citizens. We stand with the protestors in support of their strike and mass action ✊.

Tonight's Starfleet Academy was Starship Troopers x Harry Potter, presented by the CW.
But I didn't hate it. I liked a lot of it, actually. Some great lines that made me bust out laughing.

I tried again, but my arms just slipped through. That damn machine. And now I couldn't even touch it to fix it. I stared at thousands, lined up behind me, staring without blinking, smiling with those big, vacant mouths, arms outstretched, but I couldn't even tell them why. #horrorwriterschat

I suppose international squirrel day isn't great for my werewolves, but only because they'd end up having to chase the little bastards everywhere, assuming it's a full moon and some plot things from AWOO haven't happened yet. #horrorwriterschat
I LOVE these days being subverted. You're all in sweatpant heaven. What about your WIP characters? your main characters? And what would they say?

Wha.....?
It wasn't the squirrels who started it, but once they got involved, it ended quickly. All of it. And here I am, wielding a golf club, backed up against a tree, surrounded by the little bastards with their blood-soaked faces and razor fangs. #horrorwriterschat

Hey all - I'm late this week! I'm E. D. Jones, and I write cosmic and weird horror, along with sci-fi and weird fiction and urban fantasy and other stuff.
My favorite international day hasn't happened yet, and requires a thing to happen, because that'll end a global nightmare. #horrorwriterschat

Q1.
For me this is the most important. Who are we, really?
Let's spill the beans. Or the squirrels. Or even the granola.
We're all listening.

Started listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl. Getting real Ready Player One vibes from it. Not a huge fan of this narrator - he's way too breathy, like a huskier Patrick Warburton.

Coming soon: *AWOO: The Association of Werewolves and Oppressed Otherlings* in ebook and (maybe) physical form. Available on ...platforms of some sort.
I've got the thing loaded up in Scrivener to convert to an epub, and now I just have to figure out the rest of it.
Stay tuned!

Ok I REALLY LIKED Starfleet Academy Ep.2. Some really stupid, hilarious humor in it, but the overall plot was pure Trek. Felt very Lower Decks, in a good way.
Like, an espresso machine that's JUST A FUCKING REPLICATOR. Killed me.
And the whole thing with the Exocomp. Dead.

Starfleet Academy Episode 1 - hmm. Had some cool moments, some odd pacing, a little bit of cut & paste plot and dialogue, but overall, not bad. As a Trekkie, I'll watch all of it.
I mean, it can't be worse than...[insert bad Trek thing here], can it?
