Books aren't meant to be universally adored.
If you don't like something you read, it's not personal. It's just not for you.
And, as authors, our job isn't to make ourselves palatable for everyone. It's to make our stories essential for the reader who needs it more than anyone else.

I always recommend muting someone if they combine volume and determination with a lack of knowing what they're talking about. Signal to noise. I'm disabled, I ain't gonna go back and forth and back and forth with that.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.
Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

A great thing about the Twin Peaks soundtrack is that 30+ years later, I can get to the high notes part of "Laura Palmer's Theme" and my eyes just start leaking even if it's just on in the background; I'm not feeling the feelings but my body is still responding appropriately.

Captures the importance of both Twin Peaks to TV & pop culture
I wrote about how strange and wonderful it was that the incredible, incredibly strange Twin Peaks briefly dragged David Lynch into the mainstream, and how hard he fought — especially with Twin Peaks: The Return — to do what interested him, and not a potential mass audience:
'Twin Peaks' Was the Most Bizarre Show on TV -- and David Lynch's Biggest Success
David Lynch's show Twin Peaks was a surprise cultural and ratings phenomenon when it aired in 1990. It changed television forever

David Lynch rescued five Woody Woodpecker dolls from a gas station in 1981. He named them Chucko, Buster, Pete, Bob, and Dan.

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.

RIP to wonderful David Lynch, whose work crossed my path when I was young enough to be shaped by it.
It's a good day to revisit the Ricky Board.

People will tell you that Jack Vance's "Lyonesse" is exquisite and beautiful and great and interesting but what they will not tell you is that it is A WILD RIDE.
More on this in the future.
