Deleting Twitter off my phone for the foreseeable future. I'd say follow me on other socials but I kind of don't want to use them anymore either, so, I guess bye for now?

No, it isn’t.

We feel the author might have fundamentally confused horror MOVIES with horror LITERATURE.

Write personal narrative when you are younger and it often involves people who are living. As you get older, that changes, until every page is full of ghosts.

Laying in bed every night thinking "Wow, it would be so nice to read before bed." The book is right next to me. I have chosen the book. I have prepared the book. Why can I not pick up the book. Why can I not open the book and read the book. Why is there only Scrolling.

Upwork is so unserious. Folks just post gigs like "I need a 100K full length ghost paranormal romance novel written within a month for $30. If the work is good, I'll pay $35. You must plot, draft, edit, and revise it yourself. Your ideas, characters, and words but it's mine 😊"

Public pools… creat[e] a space for people to swim and play together who may not otherwise interact… Eric Klinenberg [says], “we’ve created this environment where wealthy people in cities can… buy safe places for their children to play and swimming lessons.”

[Mara Gay @MaraGay]

spent months reporting on families across America who have lost children to drowning.

What I found is that in America, swimming is a luxury rather than a public good.

Agents: You wrote a 100,000 word book?

Writers: Yeah!

Agents: Great! How would you summarize it in a sentence or two?

Writers: How would I what

Yes, and I was terrified of being the only person in my class who couldn’t type, so I practiced with Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing beforehand and I was the best in the class. 😅

[Gary @DJGARYNH]

Did Anyone Actually Take “Typing Class” In School ?

Here's my silver-bullet advice to horror writers for adding great tension.

Put a dog in there. Make sure they show up a lot. DON'T HARM THE DOG. As long as that good boy is around, your audience will be edge of their seat until the very last page/scene.

This video has prompted fascinating discourse on TikTok about the nature of habits and the impact of executive functioning deficits.

It’s worth your time.

not hating but i’ve noticed a lot of author photos nowadays look more like actor’s headshots. you’re supposed to be holding a cigarette and look like shit

When I stopped eating meat I got comments asking why I cared more about animals than the people who were picking my vegetables. It’s like, my brother in Christ, do you really think the meat industry is a better/safer place to work?

What's your favorite haunted house novel that you wish got more attention (i.e. doesn't show up on everyone's top ten list)? (Doing some research 👀)

"Once you attune your eyes to the adult baggage, you can see stories sagging under its weight everywhere." @janetmanley considers the state of children's literature. https://t.co/j9kjZD6t9O
