My novel Escape! is now available for pre-order at stephenfishbach.com or escapefishbach.com (which sounds like a horror movie).
I wrote a post about it and about my inspiration for writing it.

There are many extraordinary things about being a girl dad, but the absolute worst part is all the urine I have to wipe off toilet seats in the men’s room when I take them to the bathroom.
funny how many splices you can actually hear in his winner confessional.
Dude, I don’t care what they call me [cut].
I’m going to win [cut]
The million dollars [cut]
So I guess my nickname’s Fabio.
I wonder if AI has smoothed this stuff out because I don't notice it as much anymore.
"Fabio, like, rides a white horse and does butter commercials and is kind of a cheese ball. Whatever. Dude, I don't care what they call me. I'm gonna win the million dollars so I guess my nickname is Fabio."

Imagine how many Brodys Brady is going to hit us with in his jury speech after 2 weeks in ponderosa #survivor
Find someone who loves you as much as Jeff Probst loves “birthing.” #survivor

JCO agrees: ranking is arbitrary and reductive
tiresome Twitter "greatest"--"best"--"highest"--"most favorite"--everything hyperbolic, amplified. even a classicist mimicking the simpleminded either/or of MAGAspeak.
maybe the "greatest" poem ever written is five lines long & was written by Emily Dickinson. why not?

Wonka on @netflix has a great mechanic, wherein the winner of the last challenge chooses the 'pole position' for the next challenge -- that person being either up for elimination or themself getting great power.
Inherently creates a lot of dynamic flux between alliances.
can any #survivor historians help me, did I have any good confessionals about Savage in Cambodia? I know he had some great ones about me. (Trying to piece together something about how Survivor brings out the latent differences in people to create conflict)
I had a lot of confessionals about Joe along those lines.
When flipping the Beast coin and doubling the prize pot on #survivor 50 is only the second-most iconic reality tv thing you’ve done this year
Every survivor winner ever has benefited from the production twists. Sandra only faces Lill in the final 2 of pearl islands bc of a twist. Aaron got voted out of china opening the path for Todd bc of a twist. Tony had the super idol in 28 bc of a twist. Parvati is only in a final 2 against Amanda instead of a final 3 with cirie bc of a twist.
Literally, the exact same thing happened to him in Survivor 38, everyone was hating on him when it looked like he was destined for a win and then the narrative shifted when he lost (and then people really hated Chris) people hate the top dog
Idk why everyone is being a Devens hater - he played an amazing game since week 1 …his social game on point his comp wins all season various wins and his alliances and strategy was everything! He’s a great BB player and I’m happy and rooting for him in the winners circle! #bb28
I'll be teaching an hourlong craft class through @onestorymag on how to create conflict in fiction that feels rooted in character.
