“The Bikeriders” sounds like an Indy film about two suburban middle schoolers forming an unlikely friendship. Soundtrack from The Shins probably

NPR just aired a story about the power of celebrity book clubs and how right now there are no male celebrities doing this. These are the Hollywood men who I’d love to see start a book club:
1. Levar Burton (duh)
2. Nathan Fillion
3. Donald Glover
4. Kumail Nanjiani

Ready to pick up a new book. I’ve loved but never read the sequels to Leviathan Wakes, Red Mars, and A Fire Upon the Deep. Which do I do first?

[John Eric Vona @derangedmilk]

@lamotdite Perfect. My mess of a novel is in draft 2.5. It’s a sci-fi, horror, historical Christmas story and I’m working on adding more point of view characters. Don’t worry, I have several folders full of notes. Should be easy for you to jump right in.

@_rae_wilde My FILDI is strong… fuck it let’s do it

[John Eric Vona @derangedmilk]

@lamotdite Been there, but currently in the opposite situtation. Must finish book. Must not get distracted by short story ideas!

Was just thinking about doing a mid-year update!

So far in ‘24:
- polished the novel I’ve been working on for 4 years and started querying
- finished and started subbing 3 stories
- published one of those in @hexagonmagazine !
- halfway through the second draft of the next novel
