Overcast all day. The high was only 75F.

I had a productive day, compared to the way things have been going lately. I think it's the terror of looming insolvency and homelessness. I worked on Sirenia Digest 216 all morning. Originally, it was going to feature "A Nameless Person of Mysterious Origin," but that story is taking forever, so, intsead ( Read more... )

Sunny this morning, but it's been getting cloudier all day. Our high was 72˚F.

I don't think there is anything good I can say about today.

It's the sort of day I just have to survive.

Yesterday I read "The Dunwich Horror," today "The Shadow Over Innsmouth." The afternoon's movie was Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010 ( Read more... )

Detox, Day 3. I awoke to unexpected, which is likely the best sort of sun. Currently, it's 67˚F in Providence.

Yesterday, I did 1,269 words, adding T ("is for Tattoo"), U ("is for Unravel"), V ("is for Vulva"), and W ("is for Wolpertinger"). Today, I'll finish The Chartreuse Alphabet, and Part 2 will appear in Sirenia Digest #129 ( Read more... )

Miserable weather here in Providence. Cold. Well, coldish. Chilly? Nasty, regardless. Cloudy. Windy.

Yesterday, I wrote 1,160 words on the second chapter of Cherry Bomb. I passed the 100-page mark with the manuscript, and I passed the 20,000-word mark, as well. Which means I have less that 50,000 words remaining. On Wednesday (of this incredibly ( Read more... )

Have you PREORDERED? If not, please take a moment to preorder at least a dozen copies of the Alabaster: Wolves hardcover. Just kidding. Four will do. But, kittens, this is how you get more. Also, maybe we'll get a Dancy/Maisie girl-on-ghost action centerfold, if I ask Greg nicely.

I don't read much fiction anymore. Spending too much of my life writing too much fiction has made it very hard for me to find fiction that doesn't bore me or piss me off. I try to read, the way I used to read, and, usually, all I can see is a flavorless mess that needs fixing. Because most authors are both dull and/or ham- ( Read more... )

Cloudy and cold in Providence. Not snowy, frosty cold. But not warm ( Read more... )

Cold and windy here in Providence.

Please have a look at the current eBay auctions. Also, Spooky has some very cool Halloween goodies up in her Etsy shop, Dreaming Squid Dollworks and Sundries, and they're only available until November 1st. C'mon, guys. How can you resist the pumpkinhead hangy ghosts? A hand-made Jack O' Lantern figurine? You can' ( Read more... )

1. A blustery day after a rainy night, just like A.A. Milne might have ordered. But there's more rain on the way. At the moment, it's 55F and the wind's 19mph, gusting to 30 mph. There is a wind advisory in effect.

2. Please note that a number of the current eBay auctions will be ending this afternoon (one or two probably before I post this entry ( Read more... )

One night I had a frightful dream in which I met my grandmother under the sea.
