In case you missed it, I wrote a thing to hopefully help folks not land in the wrong place. Since then, it’s been agent/editor approved more than once. Hah.

The office is taking shape. Right now, it has strong video/record/used bookstore vibes. Once I get a new desk and chair, it’ll be impossible to get me out of there.

Spinnin’ John Carpenter’s Escape from New York soundtrack on vinyl while doing more work on the new project. That's bliss.

Something I think needs to be better understood: corporations & billionaires often spend more trying to defeat progressives than it would cost them in the proposed increased taxes if those people won.

It’s never just about the money. It’s about no longer being the sole beneficiaries of society.

Also, still waiting on some platforms to report in, but we raised over $30 for Partners for Peace from my royalties fundraiser in September and October! I'll report the grand total once I have it.

My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then did I understand the folly of my curiosity, and the stupidity of using a chisel because it kept going and stabbed the thing inside, and now it’s just goo, and my mom is gonna be so mad I’m out this late and didn’t even unleash hell.

"My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then did I understand the folly of my curiosity. Only then did the terrible truth seep into my sinews, down to my marrow; we are nothing, insignificant to the icy world around us as we grasp and keen for someone... anyone... to hold us."

I knew you all were fine additions to our Collegiate. Here – an ancient scroll, on which a sentence has been carved, and you must finish it: “My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then, did I understand the folly of my curiosity.” Continue it as you see fit, my friends.

Concept art for the video-game Thief, titled ‘Dr. Troy’s Main Floor’. It’s an alchemical and medical shop of a Victorian and Gothic fashion, darkened by shadow, but the silvery glow of the moon cuts through the curtains. The floor is full to bursting with shelves of vials, containers, and phylacteries of cold, eerie colours and disturbing sizes. A Human-sized skeleton is at the back end of the room. At the foreground, we see a very disturbing, glass container of two, miniature skeletons embracing and kissing. A heavy, metallic cash machine sits at the wooden counter. No-one is in this room. No links, covers, or self-promo! Leave that for the end! Quote the post & include the hashtag! Question 4: I’ve been impressed by your answers tonight. Look at this scroll and utterance: “My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then did I understand the folly of my curiosity.” Finish it as you see fit. Create a new seal for us. No links, covers, or self-promo! Leave that for the end! Quote the post & include the hashtag! #HorrorWritersChat
