no one likes for a writer to speak of his own work the way moore has, but: how many of our current books will still be in print in 20 years? #
i can count on 1 hand and still have fingers left over. #
i don't LIKE that reality, folks. i'm not proud of it. but there it is. #
also, and more importantly: i am writing doc savage to a song called YOU'RE LIONEL RICHIE. #
a year ago people were counting their myspace followers. #
a very happy birthday to @tomfowlerbug #
i was trying to figure out why i was getting rebuttal from @tonyfingharris when i don't follow him on twitter and he doesn't follow me. #
maybe someone sent @tonyfingharris a link to my post? thinking it was somehow about what he was saying? i had no idea he was saying anything #
DEAR ARTISTS WE DON'T REALLY NEED TO SEE ALL OF SPIDER-MAN'S SKULL BONES THROUGH HIS MASK IT'S A COMIC BOOK OK THANKS #
how long before the internet makes me hate ted williams? please, internet. don't do that to me. i have so little that makes me happy. #
this video is my summation of last night's conversations with the internet on the subject of alan moore http://is.gd/kfcHT #
next friday we nail down all the details of probably the biggest project i've ever been a part of. also there will be drinking. #
spanish is my 1st language but for kicks i had gmail translate a note from eduardo risso. his sign off? "Tantissime you so much expensive!" #
