A rainy day here in Providence. It's nice.

Kyle and I have been hammering out specifics on the still photography/book trailer project for The Drowning Girl, and it's a stressful affair. Well, if you're me. I can make stress out of thin air. Anyway, the Kickstarter is going extraordinarily well (166%)...and...Michael Zulli has just come on board to

Oh my! How did this wonderfulness come about?

Bill Schafer asked for it.

Good thoughts again on genre problem. People will always stuff things into boxes for easy classification. If only it wasn't so limiting.

Excellent news about Confessions of a Five-Chambered Heart. I think I might spring for the limited edition this year.

Completely off-topic: Had a nightmare in which I was watching an internet video you and Spooky had made. And you turned and yelled at me through the screen. It was disturbing.

Also, great beach photos the other day! Keep them coming and stretch out the summer.

Even biologists are beginning to understand this only creates artificial and worthless categories.

Neat! You're welcome.

I think it's so interesting to read about these new discoveries like this hadrosaur and to show how it may give clues about how dinosaurs evolved.

I just finished reading The Dry Salvages this morning and I just want to say I really thought it was good. It has some sf elements but it's more about the story and the emotions. I like it.

Good luck on getting to bed before 5am. I never get to.

Bingo.

Well said, and thank you. I don't think reviewers understood that it wasn't about technology or scientific advancements, but about the, you know, characters.

Some news regarding Confessions of a Five-Chambered Heart Subterranean Press, 2012). The limited edition will include an extra volume (probably trade paperback), containing The Yellow Alphabet and 10,000 words of new fiction (likely in the form of two new stories). And I'll be working with Lee Moyer again on the cover.

Thanks for the news! Its exciting that there will be an additional 10,000 words for the chapbook on top of "The Yellow Alphabet!" Most excellent. Can we expect the volume in early 2012?

No. I thinking summer, at the earliest.

I loves me some Ellison, but he's just one of the people who would get crucified. Joseph Conrad would be a horror writer, James Joyce would be a pornographer, Austen would be a romance novelist and Ayn Rand would be stupid because she sucks. Although that deflects the point. It's kind of like how the Kindle is eliminating browsing. As a culture, we're selectively breeding out surprise.

Ayn Rand would be stupid because she sucks.

That part is so very true.

That might just be fucking brilliant.

It's a coping mechanism. Like cleaning your bathroom at 2 am. Or cutting yourself.
