The Day After (The End)

[greygirlbeast]

Back in September, thereabouts, there was a day when I finally sat down with Kathryn, and we talked, and I made the decision that I would never write a another novel. We worked out a remotely feasible way to bring in enough money with me only doing short fiction, novellas, and Sirenia Digest. It was a for-sure thing. There was a profound sense of

That shirt is awesome.

I think queues are part of why I quit WoW back in 2005. Bloody awful when you're paying to play. They'll probably sort that out soon though.

I got it in 2006 at Edward Gorey's house out on the Cape.

They're opening more servers (shards, in Rift).

'The Dead and the Moonstruck' was the first short story of yours I ever read. I loved it. Wasn't it originally written for an anthology of YA gothic tales? I could be mis-remembering that..

Yep, it was. Also, it's one of the only stories I've ever written that's brought me a considerable amount of royalties, income beyond the initial advance.

Really? That's pretty cool.

Much too early in the day for a self portrait, so this will have to do.

Is that bat supposed to look like the inspiration for Gene Simmons' makeup, or is it just me?

The meds that keep me writing and not seizing and...other stuff.

Dear fuck, I shudder to think how much those meds cost someone with no medical coverage.

I was going to ask about more specifics on the post-DGaM plans; but fuck it, take you a break.

Not to my knowledge.

A lot.

The picture of HAL made me laugh. I was studying the buttons, determined to figure out what it was before reading the caption. I failed. "Flavor+" sounds like it should be a D&D attribute.

I also love The Thing (though Carpenter's Prince of Darkness is my favorite of his films, for both content and sentimental reasons), that fabulous t-shirt, and the PB&J. I always enjoy the hell out of your picture posts. That probably gives me away as a bit of a voyeur.

I pulled down my slip-covered edition of Silk today and read a bit aloud to my no-longer corporeal friend, in honor of his birthday. That was the first of many books, movies and bands we shared, so it makes for a nice birthday ritual. I'm absolutely terrible at reading out loud though, so hopefully he'll be able to just read over my shoulder when The Drowning Girl comes out. If he can, I know he will be

Indeed!

Not inappropriate, as I am both an exhibitionist and a voyeur.

Wow. I'd say I'm flattered, but those aren't the right words.

I can't wait to read it.

I'll be sending you an e-copy of the ms. next week!
