Stephen King Stole My Sleep

[greygirlbeast]

Um...what? Already? Oh, fuck. Okay.

Yesterday, I wrote 1,163 words on the final chapter of Blood Oranges. More bridge troll stuff - but Otis, not Aloysius. It's very, very weird writing a book of any sort this quickly

What Tom Waits were you listening to? This morning I had Closing Time on repeat.

Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards (Disc 3).

Regarding "literary estate," I always liked how Agatha Christie just killed all her characters when she got old. Like, killed them hard. As if she was aware that blood sucking publishers will pull out cybernetics if they have to, unless the character is so mulched they can fit in a coffee can.

... and they STILL wrote another book after her death.

Exactly. The curse of prequels.

You made my day awesome.

I tend to say, You made my day Suck Less. Cuz the day not sucking is a good thing.

We just received copies of The Book of Cthulhu, (Night Shade Books), edited by Ross E. Lockhart, and lo and behold, the first story is "Andromeda Among the Stones"- That's very cool! Oh and we just had a 5.8 magnitude earthquake roll through Virginia- epicenter about 80 miles to the Southwest of Fairfax, Va. They report it was felt in Martha's Vineyard. Did you feel anything up in Providence?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Someday, they'll pay me.

We are just shy of finishing the Mr. King cut at our house.

We must be at least a third of the way through The Stand.
