It's a good day to support independent press and to remember that our fight for freedom is far from over.

I am late to the game, but finally going in. If anything, this will be my favorite part of this movie, a simple splash screen giving credit where credit's due (to Paul Tremblay). And it's @MNightShyamalan, so it will be pretty and atmospheric and other things.

Novelist Post interview. My hair's a bit longer now, but this is an interesting read if you're curious about my process and latest creations. (I guess I'm due for new headshots).

A friendly reminder to always do a little research / reading before sending queries or proposals. There's always a little wiggle room when becoming friends or project buddies, but there's only so much wiggle room to spare.

It's always a wonderful feeling paying professional rates to writers. Paid out $7,000 in advances for SILENT NIGHTMARES this week (10 cents per word), and $6,000 for YOU, HUMAN before that. Plus illustrator / cover artists. Gotta pay them too. Yes, anthologies are expensive when.

Back from California with a real certificate, a ribbon / medal, a rock, a glass book, some silver stickers, and a proof copy of the latest. Not pictured: all the stuff that won't fit in this picture.
