Early reviewers (my spouse and my best friend) are loving THIS IS MY BODY (Quirk, 2025)! One reader says "I have new video games I haven't even played yet, but I still spent the whole afternoon reading your book."

It's wild how blatant the message here is: "I am absolutely furious that somewhere a trans man might be getting competent and affirming medical care. Also I'm terrible at art"

Me: The weird thing is, my editor doesn't even really like horror. Charlie: She'll end up liking it. That's what you do to people. ... With people. ... For! For people.

While I'm waiting on This Is My Body edits, it's probably a good time to start researching the historical horror novel I've been threatening to write for two years. I'm just a little intimidated by that prospect. I've never written historical before.

The narrator in Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" is a ghost. By contrast, the narrator in Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" is a vampire.

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what

I've never read The Artist's Way, but from what I've heard it seems to overlap philosophically with Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg, which is my sacred text

It's wild to me that people can do that! 🀣 If I start editing before I'm done writing, my momentum completely dies and it takes ages to get going again. Glad you know what works for you!

Man, people on this site are really creative at coming up with ways to say "I agree with your point but I'd phrase it differently" and making it sound like an insult.

Please feel free to make a separate post with your own advice! I'm sharing what works for me, as someone who has published two books with a third coming out next year. I have no interest in changing my process at this time.

I'm sorry you felt that way! Maybe you can start again and just remind yourself that you're aiming for quantity, not quality?

The only two pieces of writing advice I consistently give are: 1. Write worse. Lower your standards as much as necessary to get the words on the page. 2. Finish writing before you start editing. It doesn't work for everyone, but it's the only approach that has ever worked for me.

It is very exhausting to see people doing "ha ha look how dumb Chat GPT is it can't get basic questions right" right as we are getting constant stories about how much energy even basic queries for AI uses up. Just don't use it! The bit isn't that funny!

THE Z WORD is getting a second printing! I am so so grateful to everyone who's bought, read, borrowed, listened to, recommended, and/or reviewed this book. Thank you for helping me make "disaster bisexual zombie apocalypse" happen. A round of Seabrooks for the house, on me!

I had an eighteen-second video call with my doctor today to confirm that my brain is the same amount of bad as usual. Obviously this has resulted in me getting nothing done for the last two hours.

I'm so glad the everything bagel was invented back when there were only five bagel flavors. Can you imagine if they came up with the everything bagel today? What kind of cinnamon-raisin-sun-dried-tomato-jalapeΓ±o-French-toast monstrosity
