Woke up to a bat flying around the dark bedroom. Managed to capture it, release it outside and return to bed without waking my easily startled sweetheart.

Spent much of 2021 ghost writing a memoir. Handed it over to the client in 2022. Nada. Never even acknowledged receipt. Weird. I really haven't written much since.

90 minute drive, but haven't been there in a dozen years. All of Fundy is in my heart.

NOTHING MORE REAL THAN THE IMAGINATION A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE CREATIVE WRITERS WITH W. D. CLARKE, PART ONE OF SIX

I interviewed Gary Amdahl about his latest novel, The Creative Writers from @galleon-books.bsky.social ...

You can read Parts 1 and 2 (of 6!) already on his Substack
(I'll reply to this when the others are up)

No, Grammarly, 'he felt his eyebrows sing' isn't better than 'singe.'.... I think.

First line?... No one knows what triggers it, that waking connection between forebrain and hindbrain, that spark firing across a foggy gap. [Apastoral]

If anyone out there in Bluesky land would like a copy of my first book, an 80-page 'novel in dreams', I'll send it, no charge. Inherited 250+ copies when the publisher died a few years back.
