Relax, if you’re British, it’s PRY-mer in both instances.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 1d

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

Malerman is the best! Every episode he is on it inspires me to read, watch, and write horror.

Get the book that early readers say "I received an advance review copy for free"

Er ... wait ...

How about: "Pastorella’s pacing is killer, Willi rules, and the oyster scene is an all-timer metaphor for how monsters eat us with a smile."

THE SMALL HOURS.

Get it: ghoulish.rip/product/the-...

Cover of THE SMALL HOURS by Bob Pastorella. Cover art by Betty Rocksteady. A redheaded vampire in a coffin with large eyes and a blood smeared fang-filled mouth. A blurb compares the writing to Peter Jackson meets Adrian Lyne.

Sometimes we have to do less to do more. When you come back recharged it’s going to feel glorious!

This is the first I’m learning of it! Will check this out asap. You know how much I love Crowbar and basically everything Windstein has done!

I think this is ultimately what counts. We can get caught up in too many metrics: the awards, the accolades, the reviews, the sales, god forbid ‘the market’, but at the end of the day and the end of our lives, all that really matters is whether we were true to ourselves and our vision.

I’m very proud of the two novels I published this year. I worked hard on these books and I stayed true to my vision. That’s what matters. ❤️

If you’re crippled with self-doubt and feel like you’ve written yourself into a corner and are considering giving up on your story because you’re asking yourself “What if the story doesn’t work?” Consider the opposite, “What if it does?”

Keep writing.

You owe it to yourself to finish the story.

Say Uncle IS a great book. Such a fun read with a lot of humour and heart.
