I was on a video podcast with some friends, friends! We talk about Showing vs. Telling, it's a great conversation, and I had a blast with Spencer and Sam. So listen up and join in the conversation in the comments, and/or comment here!

@chersmithbooks Wow, I didn’t even pay attention to the numbering. Yeah, 7 and 19 are missing. There’s only 18 movies listed here and I didn’t even notice.

@KyleLeeWriter I’ve seen all of these but someone needs to teach this person how to count!

No one has seen these 20 movies? This is like if you asked me “give me a list of 20 movies everyone has seen”, I’d give you this list.

Oh really? Nobody in our book club liked it. We all agreed that it was just unlikable people being unlikeable and we didn’t care what was happening because even though we didn’t need everyone to be likeable, we need to at least find them interesting, and as they’re written, they’re not. (Basically the way I feel about Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? as well)

@KyleLeeWriter @lovedropx ^This is the only person I have ever heard say they didn’t like that book.

Worst book you’ve ever read? :(

@Pedro__Iniguez @KentPriore It’s so cool, I think I discovered both you and Gabino Iglesias because of y’all posting about winning Stoker awards.

Last June I became the first person of Mexican descent to win the HWA's Bram Stoker Award (& only the third Latino) for my poetry collection MEXICANS ON THE MOON. June also marks 17 years since I sold my first story. Much love to everyone and good luck to this year's nominees!

What is your favorite story of all time?

Demolition Man!

@HDunn_Writer Super cute!

I took my very fragile body image into a Jcrew fitting room. I bought one of these. Don’t mind the Rosanne Rosannadanna hair. Ive ironed it now.

@stephenRB4 I think they overreacted and you’re perfectly fine. However, I’m also a whitey, so I can’t really speak to its offensiveness to anyone but myself.

Okay… So, I’m a white man, but my surname is Black (a fairly common name in Northern Ireland). I write and edit gothic horror and dark fantasy novels, where the colour black unsurprisingly features regularly. All part of the dark and foreboding vibe that underpins stories in these genres. I give my thoughts as a developmental editor on clients’ manuscripts. So, I thought Black Thoughts was quite an appropriate and harmless name for my company. Until a now ex client said they thought it could be construed as racist to be a white man with such a company name. They ended their arrangement with me, still owing me money, and unfollowed and blocked me across all their socials. Am i overthinking this? Did they over react? Or do they have a point? All thoughts welcome please but any inappropriate comments will be muted. Thank you.

Happy 87th birthday to Ian McKellan, one of the greatest actors in the history of acting! I love that Marc Maron once asked McKellan to give him a performance to watch to “get” Shakespeare and McKellan named a performance of his own. Fucking legend.

Which do you like most? 🤔

@MalindaDetweil1 Billionaires.

What is something insane that we tolerate?

@mikemoviez Tommy Boy, but they’re all great.

Which do you like most? 🤔

@mikemoviez Super Troopers does nothing for me, but Clerks and Mallrats have made me laugh an insane amount over the years.

Which gets the most laughs from you?

@PartTimeHeather Yeah, people with a blue tick are gross.

Blue tick accounts but I have a visceral response bc I am from the states this is a check and a tick is a gross BUG and-

@PartTimeHeather C’mon Ern

Ernie, who stole antibiotics last weekend and had to be induced to vomit, just stole an entire potato cutting for mashed potatoes, couldn't breathe, and then... you guessed it... had to throw up. 10/10 will do it again. (Face implies regret... that there is no more potato)

@PartTimeHeather @paul_jkrause I wondered if I didn’t even tag you this time if you’d see this.

@KyleLeeWriter @paul_jkrause 🫂

What is your favorite novel you’ve read so far this year?

@rachel_reviews I didn’t. It was part of some classes reading schedule but not ours.

doesn't everyone read this in high school?

@filmcritic30 The first that comes to mind that not everyone knows is Bernard Rose’s Paperhouse.

@KyleLeeWriter Good question. Because I already know most of the older horror movies but ofc something good is always welcome and maybe I don't know it yet! Which ones would you recommend to me? Thank you.

which good horror movies can you recommend to me? I'm searching something new and shocking. Thanks in advance. #horror #movies #cinema #suspense

@AuthorGFAllen Two guys who go on the suicidal mission of trying to kill a dragon.

@KyleLeeWriter That’s a lot of homework. But kudos!! What’s it about?

Anyone else still prefer physical books over ebooks or audiobooks?
