@millerunc @kylepinion @StonebrookIHT Mostly agree.

@spinaret This is fucking magnificent. It's like playing with my eight year old.

"Oh yeah, well my flying horse has JET ENGINES."

So good.

Got to hear @MikeWitwer talk about his book of Dungeons & Dragons art at the Savannah Book Festival today. It’s an incredible romp through decades of fantasy role playing and art. Highly suggested!

Even if you are cost-conscious shopping, buy part of your list in store before taking advantage of deals online—pay the folks who are literally allowing you to physically browse. And if you can afford it, make *all* of your purchases in the store! Get in the spirit of the season!

[Fountain Bookstore @FountainBkstore]

We had a lot of "showrooming" today: people taking pictures of books and buying them from #Amazon in the store and even bragging about it. This is not ok, people.

Find it here.
Buy it here.
Keep us here.

That is all.

#NaNoWriMo18 Day 4.

Finally the words come a little easier. Took longer than I imagined, but not as long as I feared.

My protagonist has still spoken 0 words of dialogue aloud. 6,900 words.

#NaNoWriMo2018

Day two, when characters get unsettled by literary references.

Your Daily Affirmation:

People just like me. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'll meet even a stranger with a smile. Maybe it's because of my deep empathy and quick wit. Who knows? But I am a fucking delight. Best of all, I find you delightful too.

For the record, my money is on @nkjemisin for the three-peat. Well deserved by any of the nominees, but her Broken Earth trilogy is really special. #Hugos

If you think someone writes a great book and then just rolls around in Scrooge McDuck money, the #Hugo Awards for SF and Fantasy are tonight and some authors crowdfunded their trips and wardrobes. I hope the night is incredible for them all.

[Intellectual Homer Simpson @tscottgarner]

The West Wing and The Apprentice both aired on #NBC, meaning that from 2004-2006 you could see the best and worst Presidents ever to be featured on a broadcast network. In. The. Same. Week. On. The. Same. Channel.

[Christopher Moore @TheAuthorGuy]

I write FICTION, and more than 24% of my stuff is true. At 76% false, you're getting into the basic ontological nature of reality. World builders have more than 24% truth. LOVECRAFT had more than 24% truth, although similar levels of racism.

Annual reminder: There is an enormous market for this video game and EA wanted to pay athletes so they could keep making it, but NCAA schools won't license the game because it hurts their legal argument that college athletes don't deserve money https://t.co/nODaCHYeuv

Harlan’s catalogue includes screenplays, short stories, novels and essays—for starters. He was also something of a pill when he felt the urge. He was not SF’s rock star. He was it’s brooding punk frontman with a heart.

See you on the other side, Harlan.

We lost the brilliant Harlan Ellison yesterday. He was a master storyteller who used science fiction as a literary knife. He was also socially aware and keenly tuned to the best and worst of human nature.

[Literally A Podcast @LAPCtwits]

Last night, I revisited “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream,” a short story that won a Hugo in 1967 and is amazingly Evergreen in its concept of man’s fears regarding technology.

@mleecook Stupid should hurt.

Not unseeing this one, troops. https://t.co/qKmUexVui3
