Saw @joe-hill.bsky.social last night at his book release for King Sorrow and it was so much fun. Can’t wait to dive in. If you have a chance to see Joe on tour, please do. Also order King Sorrow at your local bookstore if you can

@keithrosson.bsky.social I was at @joe-hill.bsky.social book release last night in San Diego. Someone asked him what the best book in the 20th century and 21st century was. He said Coffin Moon was the best in the 21st century. Just thought you might like to know 😀

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Something I never thought I’d say to a person but I said to my 4 year old: “eyeballs are never ticklish.”

My kid is not the biggest fan of the dark, understandably so. But for whatever reason, this brings him comfort.

For the writers out there, if you haven’t tried writing with an actual pen, try it. It just feels different…good different. For super fancy edition, try it with a fountain pen and a hardcover notebook. Make sure to take pictures of your pages so you have back ups

If any non writers out there was wondering what visually the writing process is like, this is it. First draft: slap the idea on the page. Then subsequent drafts are just fine tuning. youtube.com/shorts/G18xM...
