I had no idea having someone dedicate his novel to me would make me so emotional. I'm not crying, you're crying.

Holy shit! Do a Powerbomb is incredible! Totally blew me away! Easily the best book I've read in years. I'm not even a wrestling fan.

The surprises in the first 50 pages alone earn the highest honors! I'm still reeling.

Time to track down every @danielwarrenart.bsky.social book.

Hey, look at that. #51 and rising on Substack.

Whoa! The visuals in Ne Zha 2 are insane, the action explosive, and the humor surprisingly funny. If this film is showing near you, go check it out on the big screen!

Zoe Thorogood's "It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth" is the most original book I've read in years. It's one in which I felt all the feelings. The art, the story, her flexible style...it all resonates in a way I wasn't expecting. Absolutely incredible.

I love working with Janna and the Kids Comics Unite crew. This will be my third session, and the others have been a blast. Can’t wait!

Any cleaners out there? #writerslife #amwriting

I keep telling myself I’ll take a day off, but when I have a stack of books to send to backers, I can’t not get them ready to ship. I felt inspired and added some flair for random backers. #kickstarter #writerslife #indieauthors

Signing day.

Getting a box of books I’ve written never gets old. #indieauthors #writing #writerslife

I ordered this set from Amazon four hours ago. That feels absurd.

Had a water heater put in and the adhesive they used is giving me a headache. Time to sneak out for a movie. This looks like a good pre-Thanksgiving flick.

I smoked a practice bird on the Big Green Egg last night so Thanksgiving wasn’t my first time. Wow. Best turkey I’ve ever made. (Gravy was good too, but the mashed taters were sorely missed.)

I love editing single-issue comics, but being part of a team that puts together kick-ass hardcover editions feels damn good.
