Sometime today, I hope to get started on the spell checking of The Crimson Strider. Once that's done, I'll give it one last read through, set a release date, and everything on my end will be done. I'm looking forward to getting this out into the world, and having this monkey off my back. 🐒

Kind of hoping blood and guts finally settled the score between Darby and moxley. Because if a coffin match couldn't, and I quit match couldn't, and if this doesn't, then what else could? Barbwire deathmatch? Land mines at ringside match? I don't know.

My only prediction for tonight is John moxley gets utterly destroyed. Then comes back for a match next week, thus undercutting the severity of blood and guts entirely. Just like he did with anarchy in the arena, the coffin match, the I quit match, and others.

Woke up this morning, and found out that Paul the puggle threw up not once, not twice, but FIVE TIMES in the interim. He seems to be doing okay now, though. I guess he just needed to get something out of a system?

Looking back, I'm surprised 6-7 caught on like it did. I was always convinced that 6 was afraid of 7. Especially after that time 7 8 9.
Thank you! I'm here all weekend! Enjoy the tuna! Be sure to tip your waitresses.

In my current novella, The Crimson Strider, I originally went with the name Matt Strider, but eventually changed it to Matt Mason.
A. Because I thought it sounded cooler with the alliteration, and more superhero like.
B. I think there's already a pro wrestler named Matt Strider.

There's a new and quite convincing SCAM going around. Watch out for an email offering to include your book in some fancy BOOK CLUB.
I've now seen these from the "Toronto Public Library" and the "Paris Anglophone Book Club."

I have officially given up on Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer.
It had an intriguing start, but once they introduce all the beast nights, and the main villain, it suddenly takes a turn for the mid. Not to mention there are times where it wants to be a lot deeper than it has any right to be, you know?

It's always been my opinion that AEW has way too many championship belts. In about 75% of them belong to Mercedes right now 😂.
They did the right thing unifying the Continental and international belts, but now they're introducing a national title? Why? What makes this different from other belts?

😔 well, unfortunately, I don't own a sword, so I hope two out of three will suffice.
Top 3 best matketing tools for an author that will get me 100% buying their books:
1. Be nice to people
2. Be cool on youtube
3. Own a cool sword

Daria, Tom Anderson (in the form of Hank Hill), and Mr vandriesen all got their own sitcoms, but I'm still waiting for coach Buzzcut to get one. Seriously, I think it could work. A former military man having to adjust to civilian life as a PE teacher, working with delicate little Gen-Alpha kids...

I'm currently at that point in the #writing process where I'm absolutely sick of my work, and I have a hard time imagining anybody would want to read it. Referring to my work as "a love letter to American tokusatsu" probably doesn't help, either. Kind of a niche genre, after all.

Oh yes, ridiculousness. If that's the show I'm thinking of, it was also better known around my house as"the internet: the TV series".
Can't say I'll miss it. Or MTV as a whole, really. That network has been hot garbage since... Well, forever, but especially around the time Jersey shore was popular.

‘Ridiculousness’ has been cancelled by MTV after 14 years.
The show ran for 46 seasons.
