Filmmaker, author and, yeah, I used to be big in the Chinese restaurant business.

So we're cool with liars, felons and rapists, but not so hot with peds. Must be an End Timer thing where they read Bible fables and deflect moral principal in effort to redeem funerary prospects of "Rapture." Lot of syllables, I know. Yet am I wrong?

“Content” is cringe. You are not a bot. Don’t get lost in massive conference crowds who do not care about you; who talk at but not to you, all the while wearing a Perma-grin in effort to justify expenses for your work not getting the professional attention paid for.

Given the ethnic cleansing going on, can't help but wonder how long Christ would have lasted in the U.S. today before being kidnapped and whisked away to a Third World death camp. You?

So much has changed in publishing recently. Expectations of authors, in particular.

[Michael S. Gregory @Yes_MSG]

Consider the world from the viewpoint of an addict. Each pitch is a promise, every ad online on TV a seduction--wet, close, targeted, feverish--all in pursuit of one thing: Fuck you. Pay me.

You have no value beyond what money you make THEM today. And if you don't tomorrow?

[Michael S. Gregory @Yes_MSG]

Freedom is not a possession, but a fight waged each day with both nudges and tugs. You lose it only by failing to do one or the other.

[SoCal Writers @SCWriters]

May is Zombie Awareness Month. But beware, many today mindlessly chase meat that’s already well-cooked in the marketplace—across all genres--without success. Do not be a zombie writer. Offer something indisputably new and utterly YOU! #amwriting
