For Haleigh Masterton, the moment her stomach lining tore registered only as a dull ache. Nor did it slow her down any. It was simply another one of the many aches that came with the job and so it did...

Some words for October. I'd include a line from the story to try to generate interest but it'd just be the first sentence and you can read that in the blurb.

Customer- "Your boyfriend would beat my ass if he heard me saying this to you."
Me- "My husband would give you a warning, and if you didn't listen, then yes, he would hurt you."

This could explain the entire manosphere
my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements
we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Sometimes I don't know how to begin a new chapter or section so I open up a random Malazan chapter and steal that. So if it opens with an image of the setting, a line of dialogue, an object, or a character, that's what I do. This is as close as I get to using AI in my work.

Rest in peace, Drew Struzan. His movie posters are much more than marketing. They're some of the finest pop art you'll ever see. Look at this masterpiece:

Antifascism is so often exactly this. Attacking the explicit fascists, while fighting off the repressive arm of the state at our rearguard— as the Basque comrades so effectively did today in Vitoria against Spanish falangist fascists.

I'm reading Space Wolf by William King. As a kid I had a copy and can remember reading the first fifty pages or so like ten times but never finished it. It's a blast so far.
