The book did everything. It was heartwarming and heartbreaking alternately, and it ended in a genre I wasn%27t expecting. Music is magic, but what else is new?

It’s a beautifully written, magical story that takes place in England’s Victorian era. It takes on how time and perception interact, and ways that Western and Eastern attitudes clash.

Flight Kamikaze is a Colorado punk band. They know their job, and they do it right. Fast, short, straightforward songs played with a bunch of aggression.

Metal for the Age of the Nerd. One of my favorite bands.

I get to interview and write about emerging rock stars in the course of my professional life.

Lila March is one of them. Her album is about to come out. Here's a story I wrote about her.

“This book described badly: Jack and Steve, a self-educated entrepreneur and a hobbyist bug collector, experience a series of missed connections while trying to take their girlfriends on dates.” @olivershiny https://t.co/t4AjX3Rksd

@katieemorann Do not mistake yourself for a starfish or an earthworm and make the mistake of assuming you can become a double person. Not good.

Now this song is stuck in my head.

Question of the day: is it better or worse if the song stuck in your head is in a language you don't speak? Thoughts?

[Oliver Blakemore @olivershiny]

Woke up with this looping in my head.

Going to be a weird day.

@klhicks912 I don't read a lot of fantasy. Which is the genres I write. Should probably look into that, me.

[Oliver Blakemore @olivershiny]

Is it worse when a song gets stuck in your head and it's in a language you don't understand?

[Oliver Blakemore @olivershiny]

So metal.

@IlanaGermaine My compromise: a notebook in a remote place and strict workflow timers. That way I don't have the time or tools to do anything but high level plotting.

Slay it.

@katieemorann A lot of weed.
