I write from the chain-link charm of L.A., favor words like 'Yup' or 'Pinche,' and my first publishing experience was a Xerox machine in the 90s.

Sense-memory is kinda wild. You teach your finger where "R" is on the keyboard, and then all you have to do is think and your little minion jumps over and stomps down on the key. Where does your thought end and your finger's begin?

Costco Hotdogs or rite aid ice cream. Which would you be sadder to see come to an end?

Literary Agents - Have you ever passed on a query exclusively because of a lukewarm title? #writerslife #askagent #MSWL #selfpublishing #AmQuerying

@Louisabacio @LongBeachCity @LongBeachPost I think its trying to say "be ready, just in case"

But also..

Blazing Saddles is the American "Monty Python/Holy Grail". A bunch of roughly interconnected jokes making fun of the nations history/mythology and devolving into 4th wall breaking chaos.

@books4kimberly How does 270 queries compare to other times you've opened the floodgates? Is this a large contrast?

@goodreads normalize reading at bars.

@books4kimberly This sounds absolutely horrifying. You've just invented a new anxiety.

The only seats in Japan are in the shower, and that's a beautiful thing.

So I commence to glorpin' it down right there like a Pelican. The shock on her face helps me realize she meant "Please take a sip so I can see it's just water. Jesus, it's all over your shirt." (4/4)

The hotel's complementary water came in this cool aluminum bottle I quickly turned into my on-the-go container. Later, while waiting in airport security, I realize it's still on my backpack filled to the brim. Definitely not throwing it away and can't pour it out. (1/4)

[Hector Jimenez @not_HectorJ]

Scan must have gone fine, 'cause the nice Japanese lady hands me the bottle and gestures for me to drink. This clearly means "You can have the bottle, but not the liquid. Get to chugging if you want to keep your precious container." (3/4)

Noise cancelling earphones are no good. Sure, you get to mute the world, but then you miss out on the lady waiting at McDonalds for her number to come up, on a speakerphone conversation with her toddler explaining that she loves him and why he shouldn't hit abuelita.

[Hector Jimenez @not_HectorJ]

"For your information..." is a ridiculous thing to say during arguments. Like you want them to file something away or open a document or something.

@MichaelMatteoRo Saw it coming and it still broke my heart.

[Hector Jimenez @not_HectorJ]

@Rich_Kee @MichaelMatteoRo When Jack's choking Ratchet and Christopher Lloyd is standing in the back just loving it.

I do not give a flying FUCK about Fonts... Weirdo shit.
