@jpalmiotti @Variety I am definitely not in the category of having too much money. But I thought that exact thing last night when I saw this.

I just typed “the end” on my middle grade novel INTRODUCING THE SCARLET SCRAPPER’S SIDEKICK! Going to work on a full cover and reveal that soon!

@Enzramiller Who is she? Where can I find her videos?

She matched the facial expressions so perfectly 😂🤣

@Lilly_bat98 @MyFineMind_ Who is she? I think these videos are funny. Where can I find them?

@MyFineMind_ She loves you toooo 👉🏻👈🏻

Macho man saves the day… again 💀

@NicholasFerroni That’s hysterical and awesome!

Here’s the “family photo” I keep on my desk, and not a single student has ever questioned it.

@jpalmiotti @iam_jlc I also disagree. Timothy Dalton was actually closest to Fleming’s Bond. And the Moore movies were too silly.

@iam_jlc Disagree totally. 💯

I get why people think Sean Connery was the best Bond. Maybe he was the closest to the books? But Roger Moore made by FAR the best Bond films. There’s not a Connery Bond film that comes close to the enjoyment level of Live And Let Die or The Spy Who Loved Me.

@Enzramiller Who is the woman in the video, I have seen her in another and she is funny. Very silent film slapstick vibes.

You have to take advantage of the opportunities that life gives 😂🤣

Today I broke 20,000 words on my MG novel INTRODUCING THE SCARLET SCRAPPER’S SIDEKICK! This is probably the fastest I have ever written a book. It has been a lot of fun!

Check out this interview I did about INTRODUCING THE SCARLET SCRAPPER. Had a great time talking about Frank Hodge and Thomas Malloy and the inspirations that helped me bring them to life! @jessenazario/introducing-the-scarlet-scrapper-a-modern-hero-with-old-school-roots-f37f928bf17d?fbclid=IwRlRTSARLX-9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEehOjmwSRaFT2OzHAvxfM99MQw3kyLXuSUbcM_pjcUJ3-bBBPZOVqhs90_GFY_aem_27L8GuQpKld86NkRUrI_Tg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@jessenazario/…

If an em dash equates to AI writing, what does the en dash equate to?

@IMDBorg Superman was powerless because of Kryptonite…

I’ll take “Things that didn’t happen” for 500, Alex.

@AuthorGFAllen In the comics I don’t think the symbiote changed him. That was introduced in the animated series, I believe.

Nerd time! I kinda think the Symbiote Spider-Man concept is very Lord of the Rings-coded. Both the Symbiote and the One Ring boost you at first, then slowly mess with your mind and personality. Same “power feels amazing but it’s corrupting me” energy.

@WrestlerHauser ... I think you would be perfect as a main character in an adaptation of my book, INTRODUCING THE SCARLET SCRAPPER... have your people call my people (I don't really have people).

Work on my MG novel INTRODUCING THE SCARLET SCRAPPER'S SIDEKICK is going well! I started writing last week, and last night I broke 10,000 words. The writing is steady and I have a good flow going. I am very excited for this one!

@vincentdonofrio What a great poster!

Hey all, let's hear it!

@wpeacejr He was just a dude. I saw the body cam video. Ritchson was doing 22 mph, not speeding, and this guy just steps in front of him intentionally. Ritchson flipped over the handlebars. Alan seems like a gentle giant, but a giant all the same.

Self Defense?! I know TV isn't real but if you saw any bit of Reacher, that's not someone you would just go up against. There has to be more to the story. What's the other guy look like?

@HDunn_Writer Is a wild squirrel the new worm?

@leonard_apa My kid asked me last night if I would still love him if he was a wild squirrel, and I flat out told him, no, I would not. I don't play these twenty-first century games, Lenny.

A thing I hate: When someone goes on long rant about something, and ends the madness with the phrase, "thanks for coming to my TED talk."
