I don't know what to tell you. You can't sit at a piano for the first time ever and play a sonata. You can't pick up a tennis racket for the first time and serve a 110MPH Ace.

You have to fuck up.

You have to be able to handle failing.

You have to love it enough to not get it right and keep on.

Two kittens sleeping in a dim room, one on a cat scratcher platform, one on her back between a person's denim clad leg and pillows. Both kittens are orange and white.

Hey folks!

Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Two orange and white kittens lounge, one on top of the other, next to a human laying down on a futon. One of the kittens has a paw on the other's shoulder.

A Short-eared Owl twists mid-air, wings flared and eyes fixed upward, as a dark Crow swoops overhead. The pale owl’s feathers catch the light while the crow’s shadow cuts across the sky, a dramatic clash light and dark in the fading light.

I loved those books. Loved them

A BABY DEER, aka, a fawn, stands dominating the frame, mostly just head and body (back) with its little precious baby deer dots/spots and its ears at full attention. The deer is chewing some plant it is eating from our yard. Probably something I don't want it to eat. We plant plants that are deer-resistant and they just eat them anyway because deer are dicks, but they're pretty, so we let 'em do their thing. I do want to draw your attention to the very dramatic... eyelashes? That are coming off the fawn's left brow? They can't be eyelashes but I also don't know if they're eyebrows? Eye whiskers? I do not know, but they're extraordinary and I expect them to be a fashion trend in our coming dystopia, so get on that. Oh, also: The deer is deer-colored. Which is to say a kind of nutty orangey brown. Its nose is black. Its eyes are dark. It's a deer, it looks like a deer. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

Anyway things are a bummer so here's a baby deer on our front lawn smoking some kind of YARD CIGARETTE, the silly rebel

A group of 6 LCC K9 comfort dogs arrived in Minneapolis yesterday in the wake of the latest mass shooting. The organization deploys comfort dogs following tragic events. The dogs wore their "please pet me vests," offering love and comfort to those processing this heartbreaking tragedy. 15/10 for all
