HELLO MY NAME IS: THE THING Honestly, I had absolutely no idea that Wilfred Brimley was an actor.

I would kill for an AKA someday. Some of us can only dream.

Just got my second short story acceptance in a month. Honestly, it's so much easier to get these stories published when I ACTUALLY SEND THEM OUT.

This week's Chickenshit Newsletter is on IT FOLLOWS and it's alllllll about sex cuz I hear that sells.

It's not...sexy...I mean...at all.

But still.

Just got a short story published in a horror magazine.

HELLO MY NAME IS: THE CONJURING It's The Exorcist meets Hallmark film. Completely wholesome. Utterly terrifying.

A fitting film as we lead up to Halloween. Honestly, this is the kind of movie that still keeps me up at night. Just the willies everywhere. Chickenshits, beware.

What…is this? I don’t even…I don’t even know what this is.

HELLO MY NAME IS: FREDDY KRUEGER The one-trick-pony from hell.

This week's Chickenshit Newsletter is about the villain of my Chickenshit origin story: The late, great Freddy Krueger.

Will do! Thanks!

@thebuffwriter.bsky.social Great meeting you at Mystery to Me on Thursday! Started your book yesterday and really enjoying it so far.

HELLO MY NAME IS: THE EXORCIST I really wish someone would have taken that crucifix out of that poor girl's hand.

First Chickenshit Newsletter, hopefully of many. I still lose sleep over scary movies, but I was shocked that The Exorcist was kind of...sweet?

Oh man this would be a dream come true.

Let's Talk Justice League! asks the question: What's your most controversial opinion about Superman? Ian MacIntyre (@MrIanMacIntyre) responds: Superman stories aren't a fantasy about how good it would be to have power. They're a fantasy about what it would be like if someone with power was good.

Wife says I make laundry complicated but it's simple:
1. Wash
2. Dry
3. Put on trampoline
4. Use sheet to carry up three flights of stairs like Santa
5. Leave clothes in pile
6. Sift through clothes daily like they fell out of the world's worst pinata
7. Repeat...monthly

Just got home from my 20-years high school reunion where I fell down the stairs during a tour of my old school.

Is it possible that someone just needs to reset the #publishing console? Maybe blow in the cartridge? See what happens after that? #WritingCommunity

Hey #WritingCommunity, I'll be in #Chicago for the afternoon. Anyone want to meet up for #coffee?

Thank you, I have really never heard anything about it except for oh my god did you see that dress so what do I know. lol

lol Not a joke and I really appreciate it. In all the years I've heard about the Met Gala, I have only ever known that it's a time where people dress up and take pictures and have never heard a single detail about what happens AT THE GALA.

This clears up a lot for me, so thanks again.

Okay, but like what happens after they get their picture taken? Is the gala...just over? #MetGala

This is my favorite weekend of the year. Really looking forward to connecting with anyone else who’ll be attending.

Help I have an idea for a #musical I want to write, but I need someone who knows music well enough to help me. This is not a drill.

Hey #writingcommunity. I did some work revamping my website. Would love to hear any thoughts if you're willing to check it out! Thanks!

Damn. That is…wow. Cant wait to read it.

I just finished reading Julia Fine's (@finejuli.bsky.social ) novel The Upstairs House. It's just stunning. Very powerful and unsettling in a way that is truly haunting. It's been days and I'm still thinking about it. If you haven't read it, please do. God, was it good. #booksky #HorrorLit

Ha! It sounds like it!

I hear the "reimaginings" are really having a moment right now. This is a great pitch. Good luck!

Oh I love this. Good luck!
