Multigrain bagels are great even though you will feel like you are pregnant with a cannonball after you’ve eaten half of one.
Poppyseed bagels are great even though you’ll be picking the little fuckers out of your teeth for the following 24 hours
Sesame seed bagels are great even though you’re required to have sesame seeds all over the place after you have one

My Librarian is afraid of being unethical (he’s a glorified robber.)
My beastling is afraid of boredom. (If the taste of people’s terror-infused flesh gets too uninteresting, how will he eat?)
My vagrant is afraid they will ask what happened to all those missing girlfriends.

I'm on the cover of this month's Locus Magazine @locusmag.bsky.social!
If you get a copy, you'll get to read an interview with me and one with Joe Hill, as well as industry news, book reviews, and much more!
BTW, does this mean my new nickname is "Atmosphere of Disturbia"?

432 words yesterday, after a long relaxing celebration of my birthday.
Among my many lovely presents was this absolutely beautiful collection of ukiyo-e prints!
In addition to that, my sister also sent me some grown up lipstick that stays put under an N95. Thanks sis!

2091 words. They were for homework, but still.
Dunno what my writing goal is going to be for this month, but I know there are some precious story outlines I really wanna fill in. I am three or so stories away from a coherent collection, and about 8 poems away from another coherent collection...🤞🏽

I spoke w/local food bank to ask what they needed to most as far as donations, and they requested cash instead of food donations as they can purchase what they need at a deep discount/wholesale rate. Just an FYI in case you were going to purchase food to donate vs. donating from your own shelves.

I believe all writers should stress the fact we're doing the work on our own.
From now on all my work will be known as "hand-crafted, artisanal fiction for the discerning and intelligent reader."

This time next year, I will have graduated, I will be a professor, I will have two more books sold, and I will go home in the evenings and REST at least twice a week.
Which is three times a week more often than I am allowed to rest now.
Grinding is a butt sometimes. But the end is nigh:
