Eyewitnesses report that this is in fact word for word what the woman in the great hat said. There were no pauses, no "um"s, no questions of whether the words would flow trippingly off her tongue, only the righteous and indignant rage of a masterful wordsmith in the throes of the moment.
If memory serves, it went something like “DAVE! YOU MISBEGOTTEN SONOFABITCH, I HOPE YOU DIE IN A FIRE AND STEP ON A LEGO EVERY DAY OF YOUR MISERABLE LIFE. IF I HAD A DRINK I’D THROW IT IN YOUR FACE.”
Granted, die in a fire should have come after the Lego, but she did not have a chance to rehearse.

Need a quick Sunday read? I have a new release today—yeah, a Sunday release, I know, right? But it should scratch an itch for you. And I am curious if you would make the same decision the protagonist makes at the end, because I go back and forth on it myself. Please enjoy THE HERMIT NEXT DOOR.

Listen, America is a weird, tacky, frequently bizarre place, but the best of it is like Dolly Parton and puts that shit in service to the world. You do not mess with Dolly. People will come out of the woods and cut you. *I* will come out of the woods and cut you.

RESULT: We’re gonna kill self-publishing because no one will be able to trust self-published books again because the shops are gonna be drowning in AI trash sold by hucksters!

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

This dude is super-great at writing and you should hire him if you need somebody like that 👇
I'm now three months into Job Search 2023 and it is going... not well. I've done a couple articles, a couple tiny gig jobs, and I got some unexpected royalties for UK versions of the Eric Carter audiobooks (long story) that paid for most of December's rent.

Yesterday I visited Vassar’s Lehman Loeb Art Center & fell in love with Adéle Romany’s 1804 painting, “A Young Person Hesitating to Play the Piano in Front of Her Family.” So I made a comic of it ❤️
