I intend to give it a shot, but only for LaKeith Stanfield.

Carson is a paragon of excellence and a wealth of thoroughly-vetted writing knowledge. Do consider him for all of your writing needs!

(Portraits of Decay out now)

Carson Winter @carsonwinter.bsky.social · 12d

I’ll cut to the chase: just like all your favorite authors, I’m offering editing and writing coach services. So yeah, pitch incoming!

But first I wanted to talk a bit about my writing journey and WHY these services can help. (THREAD)

I forgot that it comes out so soon, I’M SO EXCITED!!!

Thank you for sharing!

@talkscaredpod.bsky.social sorry for the dumb question, but is the upcoming IFC dog-horror film “Good Boy” a coincidence or have you sneakily secured a film-option for your upcoming book?

Love the podcast, and I can’t wait for the next episode and the new book.

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Sep 7

If you don’t mind me asking - what is your writing routine like? Do you try to consistently set aside time at the end of your workday to write, or is it more of a “I write whenever and wherever I have time” sort of deal?

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Aug 28

YES. They opened in Detroit with Right Where it Belongs with the Somewhat Damaged outro which was INCREDIBLE. But everything with Boys Noize was delightful. Are you excited for the Tron: Ares soundtrack?

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Aug 28

Saw them in Michigan a few days ago, and it was phenomenal. What did you think of the B-Stage sections?

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Jul 23

It’s so long! Worth every second, but so long.

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Jul 23

I didn’t realize dadd—umm, Patrick Wilson did any narration work. I guess that’s my next audiobook. 🤣

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Jul 23

But to your point - “The Good House” by Tananarive Due is incredible.

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Jul 23

Can’t blame you there. I only ask because they have this on sale right now. 93 hours of classic horror for $6.99, and most of it is narrated by Jonathan Keeble who is one of the best narrators in the industry(in my humble opinion). But I definitely can’t fault you for avoiding the service!

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Jul 23

Do you use Audible for audiobooks?

I am SO EXCITED “The Silent King”! @guyhaley.bsky.social is a paragon of excellence and I couldn’t be happier that he’s back to close out the Dawn of Fire series.

The smallest birb. Very cute!

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Jun 18

Sounds like it needs a screenplay adaptation. 🤣

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Jun 18

@carsonwinter.bsky.social is a genuinely kind human with a seemingly bottomless desire to help and inspire other writers.

Also, will send you feet pics if you ask.*

And is about weird VHS tapes*

Which you would think I would have included in the first reply. 🙃

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Jun 17

Not a movie, but I can’t miss the chance to recommend Michael Wehunt’s stories concerning the “Pine Arch Collection”. It’s a very weird set of loosely connected stories within his story collection “The Inconsolables”. Although not every story within is related to the collection, it’s a great read.

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Jun 15

Love it!

I saw a similar sign at the protest I attended in Michigan.

My favorites were the “Mango Mussolini” signs, though. 🤣

Gene @downtonstabby.bsky.social · Jun 14

YAAAAAAS!

I need more “black ocean” stories in my life.

Mmmm, I love my polonium. All forty-two radioactive isotopes.

Honestly though, I’m just participating in as many protests as I can. I don’t know what else to do at this point.
