More gold from Sullivan: he showed me the tails side of a Canadian quarter, which features a caribou, and said, “Look, Dad, a dragon.” Argued vehemently when I made the mistake of trying to correct him. So yeah, the quarter has a dragon which is objectively much cooler

Sullivan (our 3yo) singing this morning: “…up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky…” long pause Sullivan: “now I know my ABCs, next time won’t you…” trails off, confused

My revision checklist is one of the many reference materials I keep taped to the wall around my desk. This represents the core of what I look for when revising and rewriting my work but each project gets its own list… #writing #writers #prose #fiction #writingcommunity #writerslife #revision

One of the best things about having multiple kids is seeing them play together. This is also one of the most stressful things about having multiple kids…

“But that’s the thing about family, I guess. It allows you to behave without social limitations, relatively free of judgement. It’s where we let our civic selves out for a run in the grass.” -SOMETHING SWEET by Christopher Sweet #bookquotes #books #horror #horrorbooks #family

Just some nice sunlight on the cabin and woodshed this morning. Now it is grey and snowing. Again.

Made the mistake of opening a suggested Threads link (always a mistake). The amount of hate people are piling on each other, like literally violent language, over Shrek’s look in the new movie is troubling. Not sure if only on Threads so I’m adding “shrek” to my muted words everywhere I can

Sometimes a quick sketch will help unlock a creative barrier I find myself facing. Other times, a sharp blow to the skull does the trick #writing #writinglife #writingcommunity

Watched DADDY’S HEAD the other night and really enjoyed it. The creature is more frightening every time we’re shown it, which is exactly how creature horror should be. Good family message, too. Highly recommend! . . . . . . . . #horror #movies #horrormovies #creaturefeature

Little #poem I wrote about #songbirds. Photo by me. I’m no photographer and it’s slightly out of focus but I love that this picture captures the bird in mid-song #birds #poetry #photography

One of my favourite albums to #write to. Most often, but not always, I listen to instrumental music while I write. #Soundtracks especially work for me. This one is so varied and haunting. And THE RING is one of my favourite horror movies of all time. #writing #music #horror #thering #inspiration

K here's another little #poem I wrote. Is it deep? Is it ridiculous? Probably the latter. But then again, are we ...? #poetry #question #volcano #mountain #introspection

Wrote 4,300 words on the new novel today, more than double my normal daily output! The muse is strong with this one. Excited to have the first draft down so I can start honing it #writing #writingcommunity #firstdraft #novel #thriller #horror

Little #poem I wrote. At least, I think I can call it a poem. But that’s the nice thing about #poetry isn’t it? Highly interpretive and very forgiving #verse #writing

Just started a new project I’m really stoked about. Idea came to me fully formed, which doesn’t usually happen. Two chapters in and I’m pretty happy with where it’s going. Stay tuned! #books #horror #thriller #writing

Can’t recall ever having a bad dream directly based on a show or movie but, since getting into it this year, I’ve had two intense nightmares about #SEVERANCE. In both, I was severed and it was horrible

Recently finished the first season of SEVERANCE and can’t stop thinking about it. Best series I’ve watched in a long time. Can’t wait to dive into season 2

Did not enjoy THE SUBSTANCE as much as I thought I would. Cinematography was incredible though

Working in the arts is fucking HARD. Sometimes it can be absolutely soul crushing. It’s easy to say “Harden up, buttercup. It’s a contact sport, wear a helmet.” Better than that, you’ll want a support system, other creatives you can be honest and raw with. They will keep you sane. Mine certainly do.

Welcome to Maggie’s Knee, PA. Take the perfect selfie on Jessop’s Bridge, grab a tour of the KnowMe Technological Park, or visit one of the many shops and restaurants on Main Street. Don’t mind the rumors about all those missing kids. And ignore the lingering feeling that you’re being watched.
