The Bedazzled Diaper
Drizzly tonight, after a rainy day. Currently, it's 47˚F, with the windchill at 44˚F.
Today, I did another 1,041 words on "Mercy Brown." Oh, and I got news that The Little Yellow Book of Fever Dreams (Borderlands Press) has completely sold out, the entire print run. So, there's that.
Later,

It's sunny today. Currently, the temperature is 39˚F, with the windchill at 35˚F. The snow is still melting. Compared to what I am accustomed to, the sun at this latitude is so indirect that it often seems to have to heat at all, even at the height of summer. It takes a while to melt snow.
Yesterday, Kathryn and I read the first chapter of ( Read more... ) -
"There's a chill in my bones. I don't want to be left alone."
A little cooler today. Currently, cloud and 74˚F. We had a couple of marvelous storms yesterday. Thunderstorms are rare in Providence.

"With no words, a clean escape, no promises or messes made..."
As I write, warmish (73˚ Fahrenheit) and overcast and very windy here in Providence. I have the window open a few inches, and the air out there smells clean. I wish I were at Beavertail.

Ex post facto, grateful not to have attended the nightmare that was NYC ComicCon (or however it's written out) this past weekend, in that press of noise and ( Read more... ) -
"Embalmed, crippled, dying in fear of pain."
Miserable weather here in Providence. Rainy, 48˚Fahrenheit, twilight at one in the afternoon.
And...it's that time again. Please, give a serious thought or two to preordering a copy of the hc Alabaster: Wolves. Thank you.
Nothing was written yesterday on Chapter Four of Fay Grimmer. That would be a total count of 0 words. Because the day became ( Read more... ) -
"Left for dead. Heaven is only in my head."
Yes, it's true. Blood Oranges has received a glowing blurb from the witch who Willow Rosenberg went down on. Amber Benson says, In the conjuring of Blood Oranges, Caitlin R. Kiernan has created a pedal to the metal, balls to the wall female antihero who doesn't give a damn if you like her or not...which totally made me love her. So, I don't know. ( Read more... ) -
"So down I fell down into the water black. My prison cell."
Cloudy, rainy, chilly, ugly here in Providence. Summer is dead.
From the realm of the unexpected and vaguely surreal, my editor sent me a blurb yesterday for Blood Oranges. The blurb is from Amber Benson. Yes, the actress who played Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Anyway, here's the blurb: In the conjuring of Blood Oranges, Caitlin R. Kiernan ( Read more... ) -
"Could I wash my hands of just looking out for me?"
Before I forget, livia_llewellyn, yes, I'd love to take you up on the offer. A copy of the collection would be marvelous. Just get in touch with Spooky, and thanks! I apologize for not having responded sooner.
Firstly...well, secondly...the daily reminder that, if you haven't, please PREORDER the forthcoming hc collection of Alabaster: Wolves. We only need sell ( Read more... ) -
"Prepare a list of what you need, before you sign away the deed."
This sounded so good yesterday, I'm going to say it again today...
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 ( Read more... ) -
"I walk with others in me, yearning to get out."
I would rather spend my life close to the birds than waste it wishing I had wings.Tomorrow will mark the four-month anniversary of the Tattoo. Which I still loathe. Because it's still blue-green, instead of black. Which I explicitly asked (and paid) for. And I've been seeing some beautiful black-work online. Tomorrow may, then, be the perfect day ( Read more... )
