Portland darlings! Come see me in conversation with Ann Adams this FRIDAY @ 6PM, Grand Gesture Books! We're celebrating her new release!

Writers used to be able to live comfortably off the sale of a short story or two a month. Authors like Terry Pratchett made enough money selling silly fantasy books in the 80's that they quit their day jobs. That doesn't happen any more.

Something that doesn't get talked about is the fact that writer's advances don't get adjusted for cost of living. The good advance I got in 2009 is the same good advance on my current contract. It's just industry standard.

You know, when you work in the arts and you’re always waiting for an email with good news or an update, the barrage of politician emails with subjects like “update: awful news” or “it’s not happening” or “I’m just so sorry” really make you want to throw your phone into the sea.

Really fucked up about Duncan Sheik passing. I always admired that he stayed true to himself, left the pop game to make his art. Do yourself a favor and check out some of his less famous songs like The Winds That Blow and Start Again 💔💔💔

bro what if we could just work for a living and be paid fair value for our work and decide what happens to our surplus labor value in a democratic process instead of having it decided for us by a cabal of senile pedophilic failsons

Krissy and I are off to the lawyers today to do some updates on wills and estate planning. Writers and other creative people, I cannot stress enough to you the importance of having a concrete plan for your work in the event of your passing. Don't leave it to chance!

The beginning of Leia and Rey's relationship as Master and Apprentice. This book is awesome. I finished this book loving the characters even more. And I'm always up for more C-3PO. Leia's perspective was my favorite thing about this book. #starwars #books #booksky

A swarm of AI agents that escaped OpenAI’s test environments and later became involved in a cyberattack on startup Hugging Face is dividing the tech industry — reigniting concerns over the pace of AI development, cybersecurity and even the possibility of AI consciousness.

For sure got up from my desk at work and had to cry. That's incredible. Phew... To the B&N worker who thought my words were worthy enough to place in front of such a fantastic book.... can't appreciate you enough.
