The epilogue to my 2020 book is posted. You can now view all the essays on Medium. Six years ago, an agent said it wasn’t marketable because contemporary political books need to be relevant for at least four years. Who knew nothing would change. edwardrstapleton.medium.com/epilogue-b35...

Hello #WeeknightWriters! I have written a novel about a professor who is forced to live out the lives of her ancestors. Currently querying, but find it difficult to pitch a novel that straddles science and historical fiction, which may not have overlapping audiences.

Finished The Lost Metal, closing out phase two of #Mistborn. Wayne belongs among the pantheon of rich and captivating literary characters. I don’t know who’s waiting in phase three, but they’ll have to coinshot their way out from under a big shadow. #Sanderson #Booktok

If the Knicks win, New York can celebrate. But if they lose, we get another chant. My proposal: Our mayor’s still Muslim. Our bagel’s still Jewish. Our president makes us sick. Knicks in six.

Explaining injuries when I was younger: “I was riding my bike across an intersection...” “I was at a Muay Thai class…” Explaining injuries in my 40s: “I was opening a window…”

He finds the will to go about his day in a flood of fear and anxiety because the #horror of being seen is just vaguely surpassed by the horror of being invisible. #vss365 #WriteSky

#vss365 #prompt for 7 June 2026 is #horror From the cradle to—the grave. #Horror holds a special place in the imagination. It entertains in books and films; but it has another character altogether in the dead of our nights. Use it carefully.

In 2020, mid-pandemic, I visited Yellowstone and encountered a tiny pond on the continental divide called Isa lake, with different sides of the pond draining into different oceans. A perfect metaphor for America. #politics #Trump #MediumWriters #WriteSky edwardrstapleton.medium.com/isa-lake-544...

Love is a #gamble And life is a choice. Give laughter a stage And sorrows a voice. And when you get old, Look back in wonder At the burdens and pains You’ve crawled out from under. And cash in your chips And settle your debts. You leave here with nothing If you don’t place a bet. #vss365 #poetry

On a #midnight walk Through misty woods We dreamed and talked, And sang of good And wondrous Things we’d do Far from ponderous Truths we knew. Then night grew dark, Your grip grew tight, Your eyes a spark Of mad delight. I awoke alone On a dewy field Scarred and prone, Deep truths revealed. #vss365
