I havent been going to That Many local shows for That Long but like it’s really easy to tell how much more social it’s made me. You go to similar places that are frequented by similar people and eventually someone will say to you “hey, didn’t I see you at the (band name) show?” It’s actually amazing

A useful tip for doing strenuous work in the cold is that you need to slowly remove layers as you work because if you sweat too much it'll eventually freeze on your body and then you die.

It’s Creator Day over at @itch.io, which means 100% of proceeds for my books go to me! If you’d like to support trans people making singular art, today’s a great day to do that.

People are worried about people pirating books? You do know nobody reads, right?

Going to try to “write” some “music” over the long weekend. What going to cheap local shows will do to a guy who was in a band in high school and never got over it.

Amazing to realize I’ve been sitting here writing for half an hour without music or background tv or anything. Just typing on the couch in silence. As a teen or even in my twenties the thought of that was unimaginable.

I keep wanting to take a photo of myself and the book with fake blood everywhere but keep putting it off. As such I forgot to note that this episode is out. It eased a ton of my anxieties about talking about work like this. John is a legend.
I got to talk with everyone's favorite independent literature podcaster again, now almost a year out from the release of MASSIVE, we talked about Joe's insights and the general response to the book.

I somehow managed to write 4,000 words in 2 hours last night which has got to be a record for me. Imagine if I did that every night of my life! Imagine if I learned how to edit finished manuscripts! you’d be drowning in my books!

I'll tell you what, making a little altar in my dining room with pictures of passed grand parents and some other things has been a really nice thing for me.

I’m finding that i really enjoy paying $15 to go see some local bands I don’t know play in support of some regional bands I’ve never heard of in a building not meant for live music.

I have a long section in Tired where the character Eric doubts if his good actions are genuine or if he does them out of a sort of logical calculation. I should post that excerpt somewhere the next time we start talking about performative males. Or you could just buy my book I guess.
Drinking a matcha latte in public. But I’m with my wife, daughter, and grandmother. So what will the Internet think of that?
