Because writers and other artists should do all the work while wannabes & untalented hacks steal the fruits of our labor. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: AI is the devil.

Call all NorCal #TRAIN buffs!. Does anyone know where the home terminal would have been for train crews on the Bieber to Keddie leg of the high line prior to BNSF acquiring it back in 1996?. There would have been a home terminal and an away from home terminal. If anyone knows,

An article from a Northern California newspaper dated August 26, 1916. But at least now we have AI messing with authors' copyrights and stealing their writing in one form or another. Progress, huh? 🙄

I've sort of been a @MaytagCommLndry fan for the last 15 years or so. Today, that ended. NO respect for customers' homes. Very disappointed. So much for customer retention.

My favorite scene from (still) favorite shows. My gosh. This is so sad.

Dangit, Bobby Sherman. 😔.

CanNOT believe I wasted four hours of my life binge watching "Douglas is Canceled" on @BritBox_US. I can list many reasons it's not worth the time I'll never get back. Of all the things our culture used to have but has no more, I think I miss personal responsibility the most.

This place is becoming as much a trash heap as Twitter was. My gosh.

Here's the link:.

I'm pretty bad at self-promotion. And when I'm basically "going dark" (in writing mode w/little if any public interaction), I start feeling weird about posting links to my stuff. I tend to be more social here than professional on social media, and I'm the worst marketer in the

When you spend six hours waiting at the DMV, only to have the woman you finally see, say. "Ma'am, you already have Real ID."

Getting super tired of the messed-up subtitles on Max. Uninstall, re-install, reset the subtitles. And if they're fixed for a minute, they STILL get messed up again. If it doesn't get better, I'm going to have to cancel. This is just silly. @StreamOnMax.

There was some "analyze" this post option on my last post, so I clicked on it just for fun. WOW . it's exactly right. Here's the text of the analysis:. Heather O'Brien, a writer and author known for her work in fiction and her background in healthcare, expresses frustration.

Got a call yesterday from the spouse of someone I've been trying to nail down for an interview for a long (long) time. I'll summarize by saying this person was a bit out there, and I didn't appreciate the things they said. When will people learn not to piss off a writer? I mean

The smallest thing. I know. However, it's a big deal to me that I finally finished chapter 1 of my true crime book. Hardest book I've ever written, with more at stake than I would have thought. Hoping the pace can pick up. When was the last time I mentioned I'll never write

In Portola for a hair appt - then onto two very important interviews from Red Bluff to Oregon. Busy week. Should be very interesting.

If you have knowledge of or information about the #KeddieMurders, I may want to interview you. Comment below, but no DMs unless asked.

Secured a huge interview this morning. Nailing down some folks for interviews has been grueling. There are at least two others I'm desperate to get. But THIS one is going to make all the difference in the world. Have I mentioned I'll never do another true crime book?. I miss.

Welp, tomorrow's the big day. Hunkering down to finally start writing the true crime book. I was supposed to start April 1st. I was sidelined after finding out my dad died back in February. Plus, I just lost my best friend, who died on March 4th. Rough year, to be honest.
