it is so dang funny to me that there is this cultural pressure for artists to be modest about their art. 'you cant say your own book is five stars' WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO RATE IT FOUR? buckaroo if you create ANYTHING from your heart it has all the grand cosmic uniqueness you do. CELEBRATE YOURSELF

I always think, "You gave the vacuum cleaner that arrived on time and worked when you plugged it in 5 stars. That book can also be 5 stars."

Amen. 💜⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We should use the word buckaroo more. Like as a culture.

i do except for Walt, my second son, who brings my family great shame and disappointment

Love ya Chuck!

I always thought I should feel odd about liking my own art, but I never did. I mean, I put effort into that. I made that, on purpose! I should like it!

CHUCK YOU ARE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME THANK YOU

I didn't know you were on Bluesky! Nice! Your writing of hilariously lewd premises for the simple love of the craft is part of what convinced me to become a writer of erotica myself. And then you drop awesome, life-affirming advice like this? You truly are amazing.

thank you for this reminder and for always proving love to us

Why would the greatest author in the world rate his books lower than a perfect 5/5 anyways?
