I love hearing right wing writers complain about the writing industry, publishers. and media—blaming whatever 'woke' is for their problems.
It's not 'woke' that's doing you dirty, it's capitalism.
That and maybe no one wants to read boring hate filled trash.

Didn't know who Gretchen Felker-Martin was until this morning and well, now I'm a fan.

I love how publishers are like “hire a line editor” “hire a developmental editor” “hire a proofreader” “do marketing” “build a following”. Sooo… what do you all do? Anything?

One of song references in my novel:
"Jake slithers through the dark, collapsing warehouses, sliding through a slight bend around misaligned doorways. Strobe lights appear a few rooms ahead, slow blinking red and orange. The muffled crescendo of Ozzy Osbourne’s No More Tears beckons him forward."

The main character in my novel literally does this exact thing to the same exact statue. (I wrote it a few months after he did it, but had no knowledge of him doing it).
According to The Post I'm supposed to be offended by this but, uh, no. Fuck Columbus. Tear that statue down.

The simplest author advice anyone can give is to not write one damned thing until you've gone out and lived. Do things. Experience things. Live. Learn. Then create.

Can we have just one social media platform with an explicit rule stating ‘if you’re a genocidal hater, you’re banned?’ - yes I’m talking about Vance and all of the right wing scum out there. There’s zero need to give these fringe destroyers any platform at all.

I love a good micro-climate. Here's a thick fog bank at 6AM along the Hudson River, with two guys going fishing and a northbound CSX train blasting out of the clouds. Behind me it was a nice normal clear morning. None of us were supposed to be there, and yet, we were exactly where we needed to be.

Want the people I love to feel safe and comforted by community and belonging this month… But personally when I see this I’m reminded of how Pride really started (video by @jeremotographs.bsky.social)

Pride month made me realize I needed to add a few lines to my manuscript (set in 1991 NYC). The scene is a bad a** criminal lesbian coming out to the MC. It previously didn't touch on how many were in the closet back then. Felt like a super important detail to include.
