For those of you who don't understand the passion involved to be an Eagles fan, let me try to explain it to you: These are fans that treat every game like it's the Super Bowl. These are fans that cheer louder than any other. These are fans without fear. These are fans that stick by their team through the good seasons and bad. These are fans who always have hope. These are fans that bleed green. These are fans who wear green wherever they are in the world when their team plays a game. These are fans that will arrive in the early morning hours at the stadium to tailgate before the game. These are fans that will sing the Eagles Fight Song at any time. These are fans that will travel the country to see their team play. These are fans that will take away home field advantage from the opposing team. These are not fans of Cowboys. These are fans that will boo their team for one bad quarter even if they're winning and their record is 16-0. These are fans who will criticize when their team plays badly and well. These are fans that span generations of families. These are fans with a bond that makes friends out of strangers. These are fans who are devoted. These are fans that can't be summed up with these few words. These are fans unlike any other. These are Eagles fans. Now, if you made it this far, give me a "Go Birds!"

Going to the @tompapa show tonight. If he's in town, not sure why he didn't ask me to be on his podcast or be his opening act. Oh well. I'll enjoy it anyway.

Imagine driving 5 days to Orlando. Imagine you're going to Disney World. Imagine you get there, drive a big circle around it and gawk at it through car windows taking pics and vids never leaving the vehicle. Imagine you then drive right back home. That's Artemis II.

Just read @edashtonwriting's After the Fall. It's a great book! It's got a good story with great characters, some drama, emotion and the author's patented style of humor. Highly recommended!

@ErickWeber Hard disagree. I thought it was great. And it's L&M. If you go in thinking they won't mix humor with drama then where have you been? They delivered exactly what I expected and more. Not to mention how closely they followed the source material.

#ProjectHailMary’s a bad match of director(s) to source material as Lord & Miller slather on gobs of comedy undercutting the drama in this planetary survival tale Gosling doing his awkward goofball act Pemberton’s score uneven Weirdly structured Time to rewatch INTERSTELLAR

@ErickWeber Another reason people don't go to theaters. 1/3 through Project Hail Mary a mouse skitters across the floor. 🐁 I grab my popcorn 🍿 hold it tight shift my eyes from screen to mouse as it goes up the stairs. Outta sight not outta mind for the rest of the movie though.

What Project Hail Mary does best is immerse you in a film not cluttered with CGI effects and blandness. It's art. It's beautiful from the visual style to the original music to the story and the heart. I highly recommend.

@JenLRossman Well if you haven't read The Neverending Story it's an excellent fairy tale.

Why do we have to shame people for not experiencing things at the typical age? I was homeschooled. There was no expectation for me to read 1984. Finally decided I would do it just for myself at age 35. Every person has different life experiences at different times. Chill out.

@JenLRossman I didn't read it until my 40's. Why didn't you wait longer? 😉

@tompapa I was supposed to go to your April 24th show but can't now. My wife has a work trip and returns that night. What do I do? Pick her up or go to your show?

Has anyone else noticed that so many new tv shows have come out and no one is talking about any of them? It’s kind of fascinating how little tv shows resonate with audiences lately. Everyone just seems to watch shows that they already love because they bring them a sense of comfort.

@ErickWeber Not a W. Just a delay of the inevitable . The times have changed and they aren't going back.

1. Adverbs are your friend. (“Damn!” Sarah said, interestingly) 2. Using “said” gets boring. Mix it up! (“Who are you?” Sarah exploded. “Your worst enemy” Sergei ejaculated.) 3. Write as people speak. (“What” Sarah queried “are you…who…like but really…what uh the hell??”)

Author friends, what are some of your tips for writing great dialogue?
