Writing a book or movie is not a herculean undertaking. It's chipping away just a little bit at a time. 500 words here, 1000 words there, 300 after that. It's moving bit by bit scene by scene. You can prep almost every word in advance or just sit down and start typing. It's just putting in the time.

I wrote a book a while back called THE REMAKING. It featured a spoof on one of my all-time faves Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, retitled Don’t Tread On Jessica’s Grave. Bookstagrammer Ric made this wonderful rendering of a VHS sleeve cover and I’m totally over the moon. I wish this movie existed.

StokerCon is done, and we enjoyed the heck out of it. Got to spend time with my heroes and make some new friends. Horror people are the best people.

If you're in Stamford for Stokercon and hungry for lunch, Cwispy Chkn is pretty darn good, and the woman behind the counter was awesome.

I put out my book almost a year ago and then was too self-conscious to actually promote it. When I finally got over that, sales literally improved by a factor of TEN! The lesson: be your own biggest fan! The other lesson: 📣BUY MY BOOK!📣

Yes, pay attention to pacing and character development and plot and dialogue and everything else, but don’t forget the vibes. The vibes make all the difference.

I’m sure some folks nail everything they do, but I’m not like that. I think the path to success in anything is full of failure. I fail constantly, sometimes spectacularly. Then I do it again and again. I keep trying, failing. When it works, I try a new thing. Anyway, keep at it.

I used to think if I wasn't good at something I wasn't meant to do it. Now I see that I'm meant to practice until I get better. This applies to raised bed gardening, cooking, baking, public speaking, listening, writing, editing, singing, drawing, parenting, painting walls, exercising, being patient,

WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME, Nat Cassidy: This is a balls-to-the-wall horror novel which I defy you to put down...it's that good. Published later this month. You might want to get your claws into this one.

THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER by @sgj.bsky.social is beautifully-written and genuinely horrifying. It’s also an incredibly poignant and thought-provoking piece of contemporary #horror fiction in the vein of @tananarivedue.bsky.social THE REFORMATORY and @gabino.bsky.social COYOTE SONGS. Masterful stuff.

In “What Kind of Mother,” by @claymcleod.bsky.social the horror slaps like a wet fish, stings like a jellyfish, clings like a limpet, pinches like a crab, and draws blood. I had no choice but to lay in bed all day and read it in one painful, slightly feverish sitting… like a sea-cucumber.

👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️• Wake Up and Open Your Eyes is a gripping social horror novel that blends supernatural terror with a sharp critique of modern society, it is disturbing, violent, funny, a totally wild ride of a novel - I guarantee you’ve never read a possession story like this one! *just the fax! 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚/10

Just write words. They don't have to be good. In fact, the less you feel about them the better off you will be. Preserve yourself. You're going to be doing this for the rest of your life.
