WRITERS: Monetize your books by sticking a bunch of ads in the middle of them. "He got up and brushed his teeth with Colgate toothpaste, because Colgate was unparalleled when it came to it's teeth-whitening power." There.

I've written for 4 hours a day, every day, for the past 3 months, and am now 3/4ths of the way through the 2nd draft of a (currently) 71000 word horror novel, which is really just a long way of saying, gimme them likes 'cause I need the validation.

I play most video games on the easiest difficulty setting. I don't wanna be bothered with dying a hundred times, I'm just stuck in my dumb house trying to relax. Who's with me?

I know there are a lot of writers that follow me (and whom I follow) and I'm wondering which ones of you write your horror on the weird side? Who is creating the strange, spooky, original shit? The stuff that isn't easy to classify? The stuff like no one else? Who are my people?

My high school girlfriend messaged me out of the blue and told me she owns a copy of every book I've ever written. We hadn't talked in twenty years. Felt really nice. I talked about being a writer a lot back then. I've only ever wanted to do one thing.

Not to brag (even though that's exactly what I'm about to do) but I finished the 1st draft of a novel-length manuscript today that I started on Nov. 8th. So I wrote the whole thing in less than a month. It also leans HARD into horror.

I've written 70000 words since Nov. 8th and am on the 2nd draft of a novel. IDK how other people do things, but for me, this is a big deal. I've been experiencing an enlightening and sustainable breakthrough in my creative process.

Watched about 2 hours of tsunami footage for a thing I'm writing. The ocean is goddamn terrifying. We should do something about that. Pave it or fill it in or something.

I make jokes and write books and have generally built a life around the things I want to do, but every morning I still have to deal with the tiny part of myself that will always remain empty, that just wants to give up. Just hang in there, all of you. Let's do this thing.

I turned 40 the other day. Didn't mention it on the socials because I was feeling a lotta feelings about it and just kinda wanted it to quietly pass by me. Anyway, I'm ready to reemerge, as I think my transformation into your hot stepdad is now finally complete.

Hey creatives, I know it sucks being stuck inside all the time but just remember that Jesus wrote The Bible during The Black Plague so if you don't use this opportunity to create your magnum opus then you're a complete failure.

In my writing I hardly ever describe what my characters look like outside of their ages and genders, and even that is usually implied through the text and not outright stated. If it has no direct bearing on the plot, does it matter what characters look like?

Last night I realized that ever since I was a kid, I wanted a toilet with blue water in it. And here I am, two decades into adulthood, and this has yet to come to pass. But that's gonna change soon. Gonna get me some blue toilet water. Gonna fix all the things wrong with my life.

I'm just glad Obama is gone so we can finally say "Merry Christmas" again instead of "LORD SATAN, PURVEYOR OF DARKNESS AND PAIN, BRING ONLY DEATH AND TORMENT TO US ON DECEMBER 25th."

if i ever get so famous that people start digging through my old tweets looking for some dumb shit I may have said, they'll have literally 23000 options to choose from

My mom's in NJ, mostly by her lonesome, and I know watching the news 24/7 probably ain't all that great, so I told her to choose a book off her shelf and I would buy it on Kindle and we'd do a little buddy read together. The book she picked? The Outsider by .

I know I haven't had a new release in two years, but I've been working my ass off this entire time and have (literally) four forthcoming book projects. FOUR! You're going to see my fiction stretched in ways you haven't before. A decade in the game and I'm just getting started.

Hey, can anyone recommend me some books I might like that I could find at my local library? I'm into the weird stuff: bizarro, and non-traditional horror & sci-fi. And don't recommend your own book, you asshole.

Thinking of only reading really long books in 2021. So far I got Antkind by Charlie Kaufman, IT by King, The Complete Hitchhiker's Guide by Adams, and the Exponential Apocalypse Omnibus by Eirik Gumeny lined up. Gonna add House of Leaves and Infinite Jest to the mix. What else?

Been working on a book since last June and I just hate it and 32,000 words be damned, I think I'm just gonna give up and do something else. Not sure what though. Feeling a little lost here.

Horror fandom is probably the best fandom there is. Horror fans not only champion the stuff they love, but are constantly on the lookout for new things, new voices. They dive into and help elevate art from both the past and the present. Y'all are my people.

Sometimes I'll see someone unfollowed me and I'll get sad and be like, what'd I do? but then I remember that I spend a lot of time on here talking about stuff like eating ass and peeing on the Golden Girls so, yeah, I get it.

4 years ago I joined a class action lawsuit against StarKist tuna regarding a discrepancy between the labelled weight and the amount of tuna actually in the can. Today, I was finally awarded my payout, this $5.03 coupon when I buy three or more StarKist products.

I changed my Twitter name to MOONFELLOWS to remind you about my upcoming book MOONFELLOWS. Have I told you about my upcoming book MOONFELLOWS? The title of it is MOONFELLOWS and it's about a group of people called the MOONFELLOWS.

Been writing a book since June. After 10k words I realized it wasn't working the way I wanted and had to stop and start over. Almost none of it was salvageable. Now I'm 23k into the second version and it's really starting to come together properly. This is a good feeling. Relief.
