I write gut wrenching shoe gazer memoirs. And the penance for my sin is being a good listener.

I produce storytelling shows in Chicago and run a virtual book club called Detention.
@shatteredpixel.com I want to say, a friend turned me onto your game. And we've been having a ton of fun with it.

The subreddit is awesome. There are some really dedicated YouTubers.

And it's been awesome to call up my friend and discuss build and laugh about bad beats.

There's a song called, "I wish a bitch would." By @delilahbon.bsky.social

Which played in my head as I read this piece. 😝
I wrote a raw piece about my experience commuting to work… it’s foul, but it’s 100% true. Thanks to @mrbullbull.bsky.social for giving my gritty CNF a home!

Regards your story about Theil & the anti Christ...

This is maybe the obvious take but... The things he says to look out for... the people he names aren't taking those steps.

1. False wars.
2. Control tech for themselves.

Did you see signs of duping pleasure?

This is just a cool video of a wedding.

What does it have to do with story luck?

What does it have to do with #rajen journey to the end of the night?

This is the wedding of a story. Luck board member and he will be Manning one of the secret checkpoints.

You may have to dance to!

Did you know #storytelling is a small world?

Small and Weird!

Let's dig into why.

I admire ‪@the-boss-gomez.bsky.social‬ a lot.

Here's 1 thing I've noticed about his work ethic worth thinking about...

We all need human heat.

For the #writers and #storytellers on #booksky we all have our influences. People who've inspired us more than the average platitude giving teacher.

I'd love to hear who in your life spiked your #writing joy.

The title question here isn't rhetorical.

"What's the best advice a father figure ever gave you?"

The reason I tend to ask it this way is 2 fold.

1. Some people don't have fathers.
2. Father figure often sparks more interesting memories.

I look forward to learning from your life tutors.

Happy to place another essay.

My #bookreview is more of a report or memoir with a book at the center.

Have you read, what I talk about when I talk about writing, #booksky?

What was your favourite book on the writing life?

What are you an expert in?

What are three resources you'd recommend I use if I wanted to dive into the deep end head first?

Day 3 of this 30 day challenge!

Here's what I'm trying to focus on.

And focus is the hardest thing for me. Sticking to just 1 project. Soooo hopefully by choosing 3 it will create urgency, novelty, and a spike of dopamine to keep me motivated and productive.

This is a #story about being a kid and not being able to figure anything out even when you think you've got it all figured out.

Eventually, my plan is to turn this series of stories into a 1 man show about funny secrets
