Running Man was a blast to watch.
I thought it hit the right mix of elements from King’s book and the 1987 film.
Also appreciated a couple fun King universe Easter eggs in the movie as well.

Definitely enjoying the switch back to morning writing.
It feels great to start my day making some progress and not have writing hanging over me all day while I’m at work.
Closing in on 20k words on a space horror novella and feeling optimistic about where the story is headed.

I can take or leave the Cold War subplot stuff, but I have to say Welcome to Derry Ep. 2 had some fantastic scare set pieces… the scene in the supermarket in particular felt VERY King-ish in a really authentic and satisfying way.
