I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Good news: California's businesses have a great life-work balance! 💖

Bad news: I'd scheduled my very long layover for Thanksgiving, which means Walmart, In'N'Out, *and* the LA city buses are all shut down today. 🫠

Gonna take a little hike to the nearest Denny's and then back to the airport. 😅

Prose poetry is an interesting genre... This one has been on my mind for quite a while now. 😌

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

Finally watching Casablanca... Ilsa referred to Sam as "boy" the moment she saw him. 😱

Another rotten classic...

Centuries from now, travelers will hang out at spaceports, with stars and the moon and all the planets in a glorious, beautiful tapestry right outside as they await their spaceship boarding calls...

...and people will still complain. 😉

Feral Artist Nomad odyssey, part 5: the Ecuador Acquiescence
The plan went kind of sideways. And upside down and inside out, but fun the entire time – and that’s what matters. The flight to Quito got delayed more and more, to the point where my c…

The very first story I ever sold ("How to Prepare for Time Travelers in the Workplace") was printed in an anthology. A Goodreads reviewer specifically mentioned my story and said it reminded them of Douglas Adams. 💖

I'm still riding that high. :)
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Ecuador. Quito. Airport. Duty-free store. They misunderstood the assignment. *A lot*. 🤣

The prices are higher than, say, at Walmart. The funniest deal is 5 boxes of wine for $160. Sure, amigo, let's turn this plane into a party plane.

"Pluribus" on Apple TV is so, sooo good! 🤓 Just started streaming it - an absolute masterpiece, eh. As a sci-fi guy and a writer and a filmmaker, I can't praise it enough. 💖

I truly hope if you're downloading books that you download one of the ones that are uploaded with the fake endings, the random "and then he shit in her mouth and turned her into a zombie" that i know someone is adding that to her romance books & has her sister upload dozens of versions of that.
