I hate these bio things. Self-promote but be humble, humorous, human and avoid alliteration. How can you avoid alliteration in a bio?

This is why I hate blogging. I just spent 20 minutes beginning with why I dislike social media, segued into a brief history of Facebook which morphed into a mini-rant about Elon Musk. Halfway through that I was like, WTF am I doing? So, now I'm out of time. mikerimar.com/2025/09/01/i...
What shall we talk about today? I mentioned I have a book out. It's called Hound of the Arcanum and frankly, I think it's pretty good. It's not ground breaking literature, but it is entertaining. mikerimar.com/2025/08/29/o...
Talk about not aging well.
It is close to migration season. Just saying.
This is one of the small press best-ofs that I was thinking about before. Such a great theme for a best-of! Please go buy this in droves so that they keep doing them each year.
Never liked doing it. Some are good at it. Not me. Writing reams on some topic or another. Having to do the research to make sure it all jives. THEN going over what you wrote. I've already edited this thing like 10 times. Still, I have this page. mikerimar.com/2025/08/27/b...
You've never had it like I prepare it.
Damn. Looks like Carney blinked.
Now that is an idea.
Congrats!

On Spec was my first sale. It's a great little magazine with remarkable staying power.
It would seem the Democrat strategy of just-wait-now-they'll-see they've been using the past 8 years isn't working
So many people so used to dumping on Trudeau they can't get their head out of their asses.
