It's the first year I'm paying attention to, and working to build a presence on, YouTube. I post inspirational, instructional, and educational videos for first-time or soon-to-be debuting authors, especially those starting late in life.

And I was just stunned to discover that June 4 will be my 20th anniversary on the platform!

If what I'm doing seems interesting to you, please help me surpass 1,000 subscribers before my 20th anniversary! Thanks!

My latest video calls shenanigans on "Write every day" and three other bullshit creative writing "rules." If you're a new or soon-to-be new author trying to chop through the weeds of social media advice to the point that it's almost keeping you from actually writing, I hope you'll watch this and take it to heart.

My unfettered, unreserved recommendation: if you love sequential art, literary fiction, magic realism, comix, character-driven storytelling... if you love only some of those things, or all of them... don't wait to pick up the (practically) complete Love and Rockets bundle. It's barely $20 for the whole thing. It's... actually... priceless. Please believe me. Do it. Don't wait.

It's the 5th anniversary of finishing the first draft of my fantasy novelette, "The Perfumed Air at Kwaanantag Bay," follow-up to my novel "Light of the Outsider." I planned on 6 weeks; it proved more painful and challenging to write and took 5 months. Time well spent. Get it directly from me (preferred) in e-book, audiobook, or handmade, limited edition chapbook editions, or anywhere you buy ebooks and audiobooks online.

My latest video for new or soon-to-be authors debuting later in life covers one of the fundamentals of indie author marketing: the 3 things (working together) you should have in place at least 6 months before your first book comes out. I hope it's useful!

The world is on fire. I know. In my next video, I'll be up on the soapbox giving you all the reasons why it's still okay for you to write, to publish, and to promote your novels, short stories, and memoirs, especially if you're over fifty like me. Make sure you're subscribed so you know as soon as it's up!

So, I'm not in the Epstein Files (what, you didn't search your name?) but y'know who is in there, trading coffee date emails with Epstein ("Hey, pal!"), and hoping to take Ghislaine Maxwell to Knicks games? The worst boss I ever had, that's who. Thinking of how he treated people, who he associated with then and now (the tech tweaker I like to call The Supervillain)... I'm utterly unsurprised. And utterly disgusted at being one degree of separation from that cesspool.
