One year ago today, "principal photography wrapped" on the book trailer/still-photo project for The Drowning Girl: A Memoir. I'll come back to this tomorrow. Or it might have to be Thursday. Or Friday...

How much/how little does writing Kathleen Tierney's bio remind you of Harlan Ellison's fake bios? Guess it depends on how serious (or un-serious) the bio has to be.

Don't paint the kitten!

A LOT. He was my inspiration.

[chris_walsh]

A good inspiration. By the way, has he gotten to read Blood Oranges yet? In fact, how many people outside of you, Spooky and your publishers (plus Amber Benson) have gotten to read it?

Harlan hasn't. Frankly, I hope he never does. And virtually no one had read it. Not even my "first readers."

That mosasaur is a thing of beauty. Imagine when it's all painted ... wow.

I can only imagine.

Do you have a color scheme in mind, or are you going to let Bob surprise you?

[greygirlbeast]

Have one in mind, following a combination of the coloration of very large monitors and large aquatic vertebrates.

Ah, but photos (unpainted, with a kitten)

Those are wonderful photos of you and a mosasaur. I especially like the third, where it appears to be slightly menacing the kitten (who doesn't notice).

Good thing I'm an excellent mosasaur wrangler.

I never doubted it.

Clearly no kitten equipped with as excellent a toy as masses of bubblewrap can manage to give a flying fuck about models, however excellent, of extinct megafauna.

Agreed.

Thanks for sharing the photos. That's a beautifully detailed sculpture. Selwyn looks like quite the monster in training.

I love your Gregory House, M.D. quotes- they make me smile.
