do you believe in ghosts or are you like me, a person who finds themself saying all the time “I absolutely don’t believe in ghosts, but this place has ghosts.”

Picked up a new squeaky toy for Benji after work today. I think it’s safe to say that she loves it!

See those eyes? Pleading yet judgemental at having to plead at all? That’s life with a poodle.

IT IS WEDNESDAY MY DUDES! RUN WITH THE HUNTED

Run With the Hunted is my ongoing, female-led cyberpunk heist novella series, and book 1 is now just 99¢!

A diamond heist gone...right? It's what happens next that's the trouble!

most of the time, the idea isn't even *the* idea halfway through drafting the thing because the idea has sprouted its own wings and is now telling you to go into a different direction, and all the plotting and planning has to start all over again.
the idea is not all that counts. the idea is nothing at all until it has been lassooed, corralled, mutated, shuffled, blended with other ideas, and then expressed over the medium of however many thousand words that you have selected and arranged as best you can. the idea is a promise, not a book.

That time of year again where I have to make sure I spend at least $50 at my local Asian grocery so they’ll give me a free calendar.

This is the way.
Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it).

"If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".
Woman refuses Cycling UK award over trans women being left out
Claire Sharpe says she disagrees with Cycling UK only naming biological women in their top 100 list.

Started thinking about chicken soup ‘cause it’s cold out then about chicken and dumplings and then “oh there’s Chicken With Plums haven’t read that in a while” so I searched the bookshelves for a bit and found it!

Thank you brain and thoughts of soup for getting me to dredge up an old fav 👌🏼

Currently stranded in a clinical situation and I could get called to a birth any time between now and tomorrow morning.

A $150 quick goal on my ko-fi would resolve this. If you can please help.
My in-bio site is functional in a static business card kind of way. I know newsletters are what all the cool authors have, the way my neurology is set up newsletters are hell. But Ko-fi is a great place to catch up with me, and if we're accustomed to interacting my DMs can get you my Signal.

I like saying things like, "I went on a short trip," and then never elaborating or providing even the smallest further detail to people I don't know and/or don't particularly like.

Scott's stand is principled. I'm so disappointed that the company that bought the print magazines is blaming authors rather than taking responsibility for their own bad contract and changing it for everyone.
Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
