When Dylan & Allen Ginsberg stopped by to sing on Phil Spector’s production of Leonard Cohen’s “death of a ladies man” LP - Dylan pulled Phil aside and said “You should work with Ginsberg - he’s got words!”

Playwright Arthur Miller (1915-2005) While writing his play 𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑺𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒏, he went to bed at night and realized that his face was wet from crying, and his throat was sore from speaking and shouting the lines of dialogue as he wrote. #booksky #writingcommunity #authors

The Deluge is a decentralized resistance rising in quiet power. It has no leaders, no center, no permission. Like raindrops forming a flood, it grows through simple acts by ordinary people. Peaceful. Poetic. Inevitable. It doesn’t protest—it arrives. 🌧️🌊 #TheDelugeIsComing

Hi, DonJon here. I'm new to Bsky. My novel, The King of MO! — An Autobiography of a Dream, is an epic world-building tome set in the infamous Chelsea Hotel and the "MO!verse," a universe of emotional parallel dimensions, where the Quantum Dark Sector (QDS) seeks total chaotic control.

I love books about how other books got written - inside story of how the Holly Woodlawn 1991 autobiography ‘A Low Life in High Heels’ came to be - it wasn’t easy as this new insider scoop confirms. ‘Love You Madly, Holly Woodlawn’ is funny, heartbreaking, insightful and delightfully scandalous
