I have the next 6 days off from my soul crushing retail job, so I'll be rereading and editing my novel THE SAPLING (sequel to my novel DRYAD, which I should have news about very soon!) and my splatterpunk vacation novella THRILL KILLERS

Thinking about how when I watched Twin Peaks for the first time 8 and a half years ago I was very pleasantly surprised to see Dr. James Warwick from The Bold and the Beautiful as one of the better season 2 plot irrelevant characters

Cannot say this enough: Most of the people in charge in the US right now are bottom of the barrel dipshits with very low competency, utterly deluded worldviews, no sense of community, and no moral or ethical compass.

Your monthly reminder:
Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

My neighbors in my thin walled apartment complex blast Harry Potter on full volume on a weekly basis so it's only fair that I watch Italian splatter movies at equal volume

Promised myself no more nunsploitation for awhile after being let down by BENEDETTA, but I'm currently watching FLAVIA THE HERETIC and it's reminding me of MARK OF THE DEVIL (in a good way!)

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

I've read eight Edward Lee books this year (and I might get GOON for Christmas). So far my favorites have been COVEN, INCUBI, IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD: 2202, and SLEEP DISORDER (co-written with Jack Ketchum). He's an absolute legend and I hope he's enjoying his retirement

Only time I will ever be jealous of any Pope
The Pope got to meet Dario Argento! I wonder which of the Three Mothers trilogy is Leo's fav, I'm gonna say Inferno, cos this Pope doesn't seem like a Suspiria kinda guy.
The Pope welcomed a number of Hollywood film stars to the Vatican, where he called cinema a "vehicle of hope".
More than 100 film industry professionals were received at the Apostolic Palace, including Cate Blanchett, Alison Brie and Viggo Mortensen.

Being a writer is like surfing. Always hoping to catch the perfect wave, but most of your time will be spent paddling against the tide or just floating, waiting, eyes on the horizon while you watch other people riding their highs into the sunset. But you have to love the work more than the ride.
