In Boston for a writing retreat at the alma mater, #emerson. Looking forward to classes and writing!
First day of school for Screenwriting! Hoping that burying myself in homework will help me forget about Norway... #SNHU
Writing. Almost 8,000 words over the past 5 days. Might be my highest output over a short span in a long time.
I have at least 18 books in various stages of started, put down, haven’t picked back up, but want to finish. So, what’s one more! Hoping to get this done before seeing Sarah Langan in early January at Seton Hill.
Some days I write 27 words, and those words are a struggle. The other day, I was at -106 words for the day. Tonight, I had an hour to kill while waiting for the missus to get out of work, and I stopped by the nearest Starbucks. I guess I just needed to get out because I wrote 539 words in an hour.
SO IT BEGINS. I have taken an old manuscript I wrote about 9-10 years ago, re-plotted it, and have started a full re-write...
Bookmail! Got my copy of Dark Spores (edited by @carolgyzander.bsky.social) today. Gorgeous cover. Great authors. And some PGH #HWA writers included, too! Looking forward to getting into these stories. @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social @saratantlinger.bsky.social @candacenola.bsky.social
Some Yorkshire red tea and Dead Kennedys while getting some writing done. #AmWriting #HorrorCommunity #WritingCommunity
Today I got my B&W Edgar Allan Poe (with book!) to go along with my B&W Vincent Price (with raven)
Many thanks to the wife for getting me the one hardcover that was missing from my collection. ‘Salem’s Lot by @stephenking.bsky.social, and 14th printing of the first edition to boot. Been looking for this in hardcover forever…
Coffee and music and working on my new folklore-inspired novel idea… #AmWriting #HorrorCommunity #WritingCommunity
