Come up with a simple plot and fill it with complex characters. You should be able to describe your plot in one sentence. Everything else that happens should result from your characters' decisions. #Story #Writing #Writers #Booksky #WritingCommunity

That's right, it's 2026.
And no one knows how, but Keith Richards is still here.

Miles Davis composed the Elevator to the Gallows (1958) score in a single session while watching the film. After noting a rough cut, he gathered 4 musicians without rehearsal & recorded it in one take, creating a landmark in improvised film scoring.

"Write what you know" was good advice for novelists when most of them had been drafted, or hitchhiked across the country with drug-addled degenerates, or worked as a migrant rancher. It’s bad advice for people who mostly just know how to turn in homework assignments.

Glastonbury took place over the weekend. There were so many good bands. (Most are posted on YouTube.) But Gary Numan (who sang the hit song “Cars” in 1979) tore it up. Here he is singing “My Name Is Ruin” with his daughter, Persia.

A lovely review from @stevenpoole and @guardian for Karla's Choice and a wonderful way to kick off UK publication day.

Can you believe 50 years ago, the “Rumble in the Jungle,” fighting Muhammad Ali. Looking back at the best time of my life—celebrate with me with a slice of cake, as I relive the “Rope-a-Dope.”
