Hello friends! I'm Joe. I'm a writer and portrait artist living in Victoria, BC, Canada. My series of vampire stories, Bloodletting, is available at joehumphrey.com. There you'll find writing, reviews, artwork, and links to my other work.
Near Dark is the spiritual foundation that my vampire stories are built on. Also, having a projector and screen to watch movies on friggin rules. Highly recommended

It's a very cleverly designed collection of short stories interwoven and connected via a main storyline. It's a fantastic collection of stories. Some more than others. I'm especially into the one about Marilyn Monroe. I've fallen off with Chuck a bit, but he had some great ones.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

You know what might fix the world? A new Portal game. I need to spend several hours being berated by a condescending computer overlord.
Look at me still talking when there's science to do.

Finished the first draft of my Shining story for the Views From The Overlook anthology. It came in at just under 4k, and I think it's pretty decent. Gonna let a couple of people read it and then take a little break to let it marinate. I hope it's what @jamieflanagan.com is looking for!

That's how I'm doing this Shining story. Just barfing as much onto the page as I can think of and then I'll cut away all the stuff that isn't the story

My Views from the Overlook story is almost 3k. The wordcount limit is 3k-5k so I'm about to hit the sweet spot. I'm glad I have until March to finish it, but I'm also eager to see how it turns out. I think it might be really good

I can't speak to the accuracy of a female experience it brings, but All Fours by Miranda July is my favorite book that I've read in recent years. I'm not even sure why, but it really spoke to me. I love her voice and perspective, and it inspired me to be braver in my own writing.
