Thrilled to say FEEDING THE WHEEL has earned a Cummie Award for the "novels are too long" novella category. I say this without hyperbole; this is the height of my writing career. Extremely honored and grateful. I am going to turn my vagina statuette into a rapper chain and wear it to formal events

These Cummies aren't gonna vote for themselves... I was taking a look at the back end and we have a couple of ties that need to be broken.

Come on and vote for the dumbest award in horrorlit: forms.gle/J2KVcpWcb8tu...

Reminder that if you can't afford an artist, you can create the cover yourself. @carsonwinter.bsky.social painted his own cover.
Not only was it free, but it's also completely unique and representative of him as an artist and author.
No AI, no stealing, no excuses, no slop.
It's that easy.

We do not support AI generated writing OR art here at the Tower and will accept neither as submissions.

The Tower craves souls. AI is a hollow shell. It would be like feeding a dog nothing but pizza crust; sure, they might act like they want it, but it causes nothing but farts and pancreatitis...

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.

"I can't afford a visual artist"

So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?

Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

ICYMI, The Barre Incidents is nominated for a Cummie, and voting is open through the end of December!! If you want to try and help me earn a gorgeous, colorful dick sculpture, this is your *one* chance.

NMH has a song w/ the lyric “Semen stains the mountaintop,” therefore, I’m legally obligated to ask you to vote for the anthology I edited AND ONE DAY WE WILL DIE: STRANGE STORIES INSPIRED BY THE MUSIC OF NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL in @deadlanguagespod.bsky.social’s Cummies Awards for Best Anthology. Vote!

Vote for scrote! Errr...the Cummies!

FEEDING THE WHEEL IS UP FOR A CUMMIE AWARD! Yes I realize this probably puts me on several watch lists, but I'll gleefully spend my life waving hello to the plumbing van with the satellite dish on it that'll be parked in front of my house if it means winning a little clay genitals statuette for FtW

Had a great time doing this episode. My face hurt from laughing and smiling.

Feral, unhinged, corprophagic madness... happy to be a part of it all! D&D with horror authors? What could go wrong?
