I write, think about writing and read books about writing. I have no plans to get a life.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work. My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Imagine marching 185 miles in just four days, wiping out a Viking army, killing your own traitorous brother, and celebrating a massive victory… only to hear three days later that the Normans had landed in the south. Harold Godwinson really had the worst week ever. #1066 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Today marks 60 years since The Monkees first premiered on NBC. The first episode to air was “Royal Flush,” although, in true Monkees fashion, it wasn't the first one we actually filmed. Typical for us to be already out of order before people had even seen us. What followed was more than any of us could have imagined: the records, the tours, the fans, the Emmy, the reruns, the revivals, and all these years of people just like you telling me what the show and the music have meant to them. Tonight, I get to celebrate that anniversary in the city where it all began. Los Angeles, come celebrate with me tonight at The United Theater on Broadway for Micky Dolenz Celebrates 60 Years of The Monkees. Bring your singing voice. I’ll bring the tambourine!

Introvert language translated: “Maybe I’ll come” - I’m not coming “I’ll let you know” - I’m not coming “I’m not sure yet” - I’m very sure that I’m not coming “I’ll try and come” - I won’t try anything “I’ll think about it” - I won’t think about anything, I’m not coming

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝 I’ve learned two things: Never waste a good cigar. Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn’t produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.

Why does everyone force introverts to leave their comfort zone, but no one forces extroverts to shut up for a while? Why???

Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.
