You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society. - Kurt Vonnegut

Clipboard with a print out of my story for a final proofread

While my short story, "Cracked Pearl," marinates, I'm revisiting an older story.

It's been rejected many times, but I still love it. So I make tweaks and send it back out.

I'm done with the current draft and they're about ready to go back out.

A twist on "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". It features the Peanuts cast in Halloween costumes, with Charlie Brown buried under a pile of rocks. The title reads: "It's the Great Lottery, Shirley Jackson"

the classics are classic for a reason

An angel food cake with a slice cut out to show the amazing crumb

Bessica. The front half of a taxidermied rat is stitched to the tail end of a fish.

We just celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. I made my wife her favorite cake, angel food cake. And my wife's gift to me? Punk Rattus Mermaid from Cryptic Creatures Taxidermy! I named her Bessica.

A painting of the Peanuts gang (Charlie Brown, Snoopy, etc), but they are painted as realistic teenagers. They are holding hands in a circle in a pumpkin patch at night. They are performing some sort of ritual and have invoked the Great Pumpkin. The Great Pumpkin floats above their circle in a bed of vines. It has the Eye of Horus imprinted on it.

and so it begins #Halloween

such an underrated movie. I love Cundieff

A small tablet on a stand, a bluetooth keyboard, and a beer that's nearly finished. All on a bar at my writing spot.

I'm back to an older story that just can't find a home.

It's a queer medical horror story about a male sex worker whose encounter with a client leads to a truly scarring experience.

I've tightened it up some and think it's getting closer to being a full grown story! #booksky #writingcommunity

Congratu-fucking-lations! That's fantastic

A selfie of the incredible, talented, and adorable author, Karl Sigler, wearing a gorgeous knit polo shirt with large eyes with pink eyelashes. He is holding the coveted "Duchamp Award for Self Awarding Authors" for his first collection "The Cockroach of the Dada Movement: The Life and Selected Works of K. Ungeheuer." He is holding up the trophy he made which is a miniature version of Marcel Duchamp's 1913 "Bicycle Wheel," a "Readymade" consisting of the front wheel of a bicycle mounted upside-down on a wooden stool.

Super proud! I took 1st place in the "Duchamp Award for Self Awarding Authors" for my collection of short weird horror (cockroach.org)!

Rrose Sélavy says, "An almost bizzaro version of Kafka's Meditations meets Poe in the throes of opium."

Three round hand pie, one cut in half to show the filling

When I make pie crust I double the recipe and freeze some.

Today I had some left-over chicken satay, so I made some hand pies with a homemade peanut sauce (heavy on the chili flake). Super happy with how they turned out. #baking

Hope you feel better soon!

The world I feared when I was 19 has come to fruition under traitor trump

A type-written piece of flash fiction in German. The page is slightly yellowed and aged with a paper clip impression in the upper left corner.

One of the jewels of our K. Ungeheuer collection. The original manuscript for “Die wundersame Bibel” (The Miraculous Bible) from 1966. It was never published in Ungeheuer's lifetime, but you'll find it in CoTDM and can read it in English for free here: cockroach.org/stories/bibl... #booksky

A photo of two copies of my story. One heavily red-lined and the other freshly printed

I hung out with the Atlanta chapter of the @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social at @eagleeyebooks.bsky.social and was inspired to finish the second draft of my story.

At an unreasonable 9800 words, this is the longest piece I've ever written and more writing than I've ever done. #writingcommunity

a close up of sugar crystals with a black background

The Sugar Man was just like the stories had described. He sat motionless at a small cafe table with his arm extended and just touching a spoon in a coffee cup. The small table, the cup, the spoon, the man were all crystalline.

The more MAGA wants to make this fuck stick a matyr, the more it's mandatory to push back.
