A new one for me, #PostmarkForDanger sounds like an interesting British entry to #NoirAlley. Wondering how the painting comes in. Shades of #Laura? #TCMParty

I once compared Trump to Louis XIV, but I was wrong. He's gone full Mad King Ludwig. Get the padded Oval Room ready.
“.. What started as a 500-seat ballroom connected to the East Wing grew to 650 seats. Next, he wanted a 999-seat ballroom, then room for 1,350.” 🤡

I once showed my new (to me) book haul to a young writer at an event and asked what books he was excited to read. He said he was "too busy promoting his own books to read."
In 25 years of teaching creative writing, by far and away the two most common traits I've seen among successful writers are that they read avidly and that they support other writers enthusiastically.

Rest well, Tom Stoppard. One of my favorite playwrights. The first time I read Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead in high school, I was completely hooked. Then the film. Then every live production I could possibly catch. Witty, existential, weird, and brilliant every single time. What a legacy. 🎭💔

My god, it’s almost like Jason Morgan and Drew Cain from my stories!

Ok not really, but which one is the conservative cold-blooded murder and which one is the elected official who murders constituents?

It was Downey who coined the phrase in the LEVERAGE writers room “future episodes do not win out over present episodes”. Trust me, you’ll have more ideas. You’ll die full of them.
WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.

Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.

Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

Just finishing up Apartment for Peggy, still on my DVR from 4/17/18. The recording even caught the Open All Night promo/bumper. I just love that one.

This is my radio show—it’s like if 120 Minutes was also storytime for weird adults, with a new theme every week. It’s free/ad-free/no Ai, and I make it entirely myself. Deep cuts, great authors, plus my own true tales

Someone was very ambitious when we played with the ribbon toy today, leaping like a pony and trying to drag it into a tree like a cheetah. Now he's passed out, satisfied that he's the true apex predator around here.

Getting solar panels and battery backup for our house was one of the best decisions we've made. We got our system from Enphase (not Tesla).
Clean power growth is now covering all new global demand. Solar and wind generated 635 TWh in the first nine months of this year, exceeding the 603 TWh rise in global electricity demand, and holding fossil generation flat for the year. buff.ly/zRmwAmg
