Headline on Hollywood Reporter that reads ”Paddington 4, Escape From New York' Reboot in the Works”

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

A cat’s front half is in a toilet. Its haunches and tail resembling an elephant’s head.

A crudely made sign stand of bundled bamboo held together with wire, upon which is mounted a roughly made sign of a single piece of wood, painted black, on which someone has crudely written BOOKS with an arrow pointing to the right, in a street somewhere.

When I know it's definitely a trap, but I'm going anyway.

She's done a book, a movie, a press conference — maybe Melania just wants to see if there's any medium she's not terrible at

Enjoyed THE DRY by Jane Harper. Set in a remote town in Australia, secrets from the past inform tragedies in the present. The audiobook features an Aussie narrator which helps set the tone. Lots of rabbit-hunting, so not for the faint of cottontail heart. #booksky

who has a book coming out that people can preorder so they have something to look forward to and then be pleasantly surprised when the book just shows up on their doorstep

Just found a ham sandwich tied to a piece of string leading into the woods. Probably fine.

Thanks very much, I’ll keep you in mind for the second draft, which is the first readable one. The first is for my eyes only (and for good reason).

Thank you thank you. Like so many other writers on BS, I'm hoping this is The One. Fingers and editing eyeballs crossed

First draft of new MS done at 131k words and 409 pages. Time for the mighty red pen to mercilessly trim the bejeezus out of it down to its bikini bod. #amwriting #amediting

If you’re wanting something along the vibe of One Battle After Another, SHE RIDES SHOTGUN by Jordan Harper is a violent adventure about a dad trying to keep his little girl safe from the problems he created (hint: big ones). A whirlwind jaunt through some of SoCal’s less scenic territory. #booksky

The Chili Peppers doc on Netflix is worthwhile. Again with the weird AI voice for Hillel Slovak, a production choice I’ll never understand, But it’s an interesting look at LA in the 80s as the street punks became friends, bandmates, and mourners. Flea’s autobiography is A+ btw

Welp somehow I deleted my master document file yesterday afternoon while I was working on it for hours afterwards. It disappears from Time Machine and Dropbox and MS Word at 2:32 PM yesterday. About a page and a half gone. Didn’t think that was even possible. #amwriting #amswearingalot

Thoroughly enjoyed F1 THE MOVIE. Viva popcorn flicks that hit all the right beats, with great action and Brad Pitt being Brad Pitt. Makes me want to hop in my car and say vroom vroom as I sit in LA gridlock.
