Making great progress on the current story-- much faster than usual. Now if I can just psychically ward of any potential rejection letters that might be circulating at the moment... Don't want to kill my momentum.
America is BACK, baby!

I don't understand these publications/ imprints that brag about how many stories they reject. Why does anyone submit to them? Why encourage that ego? Let those fuckers wither on the vine. They don't deserve your sweat.
Checking in from social media break to announce we are FINALLY WRITING AGAIN. I didn't think the braintubes would open up again, but here we are. That is all.
P u s s y? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the internet, localized entirely within your bio!?
Got two stories out there making the rounds, two or three more in the hopper. If I could just stop working, quit school, leave social media, shun social obligations, drop out of civilization, move to the woods, & become an isolated loner, I might be able to get some writing done.

What was the first CD you ever bought with your own money? It felt appropriate to enter the digital age (which is honest to God how it felt to get a CD instead of a cassette 😂) with this one...
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE (1970) Ah yes. A vintage entry into the storied ‘be gay, do crimes’ subgenre.
So fucking ready for more FEAR STREET
FEAR STREET: PROM QUEEN IS NOW IN PRODUCTION 🩸 Welcome to Shadyside High. We're gonna have a killer time.
OK but what if I don't care about the millions of ways a Trump presidency would hurt millions of my fellow Americans -- and millions more around the globe -- because Joe Biden hasn't done exactly what I have clearly been ordering him to do? Who am I supposed to vote for then?
I am going to spend the next 6 months getting yelled at by "leftists" for speaking bold truths like "if you don't like Trump, you should vote for Biden." This apparently makes people mad and causes them to lash out. But someone has to do it.
Making great progress on the current story-- much faster than usual. Now if I can just psychically ward of any potential rejection letters that might be circulating at the moment... Don't want to kill my momentum.
So many bad actors & trauma in recent weeks in the indie publishing sphere—particular here in our SpecFic corner—yet I can't help but be giddy for the future. These voices are that future. The final TOC for BRAVE NEW WEIRDv2 + our forewords in full🖤☠️ store.tenebrouspress.com
While today is the last day for the general submission window, we will have an extended window for Cursed Cooking exclusively for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented voices from May 1-10.
The general submission window for Cursed Cooking closes later today at 11:59 p.m. (last place on earth). Serve us up some frightening (and possibly bloody) foodie fiction and, of course, some delicious dishes while you can! We're hungry for #horror!
♥️♥️♥️
I have a new story out in @WriteorDieMag today!
Pleased to squeak that our first anthology is now LIVE until midnight July 31st. For more details, check the submission page here 👇 infestedpub.wixsite.com/infested
Most of us are victims of areas that do not show 35 mm film prints. Witness us.
Me, going into revisions: REVISION IS WHEN THE NOVEL STARTS TO SHINE! Me, after 2 days of revisions:
ok my bad. i was the bigshot executive who told jerry seinfeld to get the Fuck out of my office when he pitched a show to me that wasnt woke
@AnarkiSven @PhoenixBlackNow I was in a zoom with a dev exec from a major horror production house recently and they said the opposite. They look for scripts that get them into the story quick and clean. Makes you wonder about how much disparity there is between readers and the people who actually make movies
IF SCREENPLAY READERS GAVE NOTES ON CLASSIC FILMS: "Flesh out introductory character with an additional 30 pages in Act One. Let us get to know her. Is her sprinting away a metaphor for post-third wave feminism outpacing the heteronormative patriarchy of the day? PASS."
Turned in revisions of the Vampire Novel That Would Not End to my editor, feeling like we're getting closer to An Ending. Phew! Can't wait for folks to read it.
