I only slept about five hours last night, and I'm running late, so I should make this short. Here in Providence, it's still cold spring, overcast and currently 55˚F.

Yesterday, I wrote 898 words, "G is for Ghoul" (what else?), for "The Eldritch Alphabētos," which will be serialized between Sirenia Digest 148 (May, A-M) and 149 (June, N-Z). And I ( Read more... )

Overcast and rainy. Currently, it's 64˚F. I have the blinds in my office drawn, because I'm just not up to that gloom today.

I didn't find my way into the new ghoul story yesterday. I very much need to today. The days during which I've not written are stacking up behind me.

Last night was mostly television. We began with the new Star Trek: ( Read more... )

Overcast and chilly, but the trees still are at least a week or two behind where they should be. Currently, it's 55˚F ( Read more... )

Sunny blue out there and 51˚F. Today will be more lamentably seasonable than was yesterday. And then many days of misery, in the form of rain.

Yesterday, my second day off, we saw Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok. What a strange sideshow of a film, possibly, and possibly by far, the most bizarre superhero film of all time. It was enjoyable, in an ( Read more... )

Partly cloudy, partly sunny this morning. Currently, it's 50˚F. And November. I find November to be the first bleak month. It is the herald of all the other bleak months, and hope has trouble straying very far into November ( Read more... )

Clouds today. They say we will have thunderstorms. Currently, it's 61˚F, here on the last day of September.

We spent most of yesterday trying to make the OCR thing work on the Silk pages. The problem has been getting rid of orphans and widows and graphics in the files. But Spooky thinks maybe she's figured it out. I also attempted a first go at a ( Read more... )

Sunny and 73˚F.

Yesterday, Spooky read "The Dinosaur Tourist," and to my relief, she liked it. Then I made more line edits, and the final word count comes to 7,517 words. I also talked with Daniel Gorringe about the art he's doing for the forthcoming ALL GHOUL issue of Sirenia Digest. Next on my plate, get SD No. 139 out to subscribers and write ( Read more... )

Sunny and hottish today. Currently, it's 83˚F. Frankly, I have trouble calling anything under 90˚F full-on hot, but Spooky disagrees.

You may have seen the Tor.com announcement regarding Black Helicopters* and a new novella set in the world of Agents of Dreamland and Black Helicopters. No? Well go read it. I'll still be here when you're done. That ( Read more... )

A good bit more snow yesterday. Then, because this is Rhode Island, the temperature actually went up after sunset, and there as a smattering of rain. There was some sun this morning, but that's mostly gone now. It's currently 33˚F, with the windchill at 20˚F, and we have a high wind warning. I expect this snow will be with us for at least a week.

The wind has been blowing hard since yesterday afternoon, and we've had a lot of rain. Currently, the temperature is 43˚F, with the windchill above freezing at 33˚F ( Read more... )
