2025 is the year.

I am working on a novel during the morning and short stories at night.

I put on a jacket, gloves, boots, hat, and went for a very long cold walk.

Sticker Shock ⚡️

I went to a bookstore and a 50 thousand word paperback novella was $17 USD

Most books were easily over $35

I don’t begrudge anyone for making a living, but I think self-published authors are selling themselves short when they charge a dollar for an ebook

I deleted my X account, lost all my data, and signed back up several months later.

I have followed no one since signing back up, but X has me following several blue check accounts.

Suspicious. 🤨

I snuck back onto X for a few minutes to promote Banned Book Week.

My one and only post on X was immediately censored by Elon Musk, his employees, and/or his all knowing Ai, Grok.

The post.

The censorship.

The nerve of me saying books shouldn’t be banned. 🤣

Bernie Wrightson.

With nothing more than pen, ink, and nerves of steel, he developed an instantly recognizable style all his own.

1948 – 2017 RIP

Happy Monday. 🎉

I hope everyone is doing good and well.

Why just pick one? 😺

Happy Saturday. ❄️

Lost electricity for next 24 hours, so I did the smart thing.

I went to a Wegmans grocery store, bought a doughnut, soda, and started writing on my poor old taped up iPad.

No electricity, cold enough to snow - it’s going to be a long winter.

He completely disappeared for the summer. Winterish weather returns and so does he.

He’s an enigma.

He’s hungry.

He’s either a feral, stray, or scammer?

Unlike this photo, last night’s moon was spectacular.

One.

Volume one was great. I am hoping volume two will be just as good.

It’s not really a book, but I find some manga to be just as good or better than some books.

Summer is over when the geese fly south and corn is harvested down to its nubs.

Good news.

I bought an electric tea kettle that heats water to an exact temperature for my writing desk.

It glows a wonderful red while heating up and turns to green when done.

The best part - no more bitter tea because I boiled it to death.

Built in diffuser.

My writing partner agrees that cold, wet Monday nights are the best time to write.

But first, I had to get him off my chair.

Amazing.

I listened to The Devotion Of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino and read by David Pittu.

The first couple of chapters were slow but needed. As the story went on it got better and better.

So very, very good. 👍

We stopped at a West Virginia Welcome Center and saw an old fashioned telephone.

It’s like a real phone they use in movies.

Tried to use it but it only took quarters. I had a debit card but no quarters.

A Question. 🙋

I don’t have ProWritingAid because of its price, but if I did get it—would any story I write with it be considered partially written by Ai?

The days of simple spellcheck seem to be over for good, and Ai is hard to avoid
