Self-Tweet of the Day, ABC edition.
The Chick-fil-A sauce supply is apparently getting real bad, out there. Time to stock up! It’s might get a little bumpy out.
I'm not saying get your Chick-fil-A sauce while you can, but… actually, yeah, I'm saying that.https://t.co/LJ95FqFKNO

My “A Proper Picture for my ‘Pickman’s Model'” Kickstarter is live!
Rejoice! And note that the A Proper Picture for my ‘Pickman’s Model’ Kickstarter is, as of the moment, strictly digital-only. Costs skyrocket when printing this stuff comes into play; besides, this is a short story we’re talking about. If we hit both planned stretch goals I may add print tiers, but no guarantees.
Hope to see you soon!

Spent the day wrestling with edits.
Among other things. The book is approaching that stage where I hate the sight of it and am ready to cast it into the sun. I gather that this is a normal part of the creative process, though. One hopes, at least…
The MORTAL COMBAT Honest Trailer.
The KUNG POW! references at the end were what did it for me. Only sixty eight bucks on Prime! An absolute bargain, that is.
Tweet of the Day, Four Hours Of Beta Reading Editing Made This Hysterical Unto Me edition.
Of course, you had to have actually watched The Wonder Years to get the full effect, I guess.
The “ZOMG This Looks INSANE” THE GREEN KNIGHT trailer.
Yeah. THE GREEN KNIGHT is the true quill. This is gonna be the good stuff. It comes out July 30th, and I am there.
Boldest of blood. Wildest of heart. Watch the new trailer for David Lowery’s #TheGreenKnight, starring Dev Patel.

PS: No worries if this isn’t your jam. But damned if it isn’t mine.

Tweet of the Day, They Found The Guy, But Not The TIGER? edition.
I feel that possibly law enforcement’s priorities should have been reversed here.
UPDATE: A man who went on the lam with a Bengal tiger that unnerved Houston residents is in custody, but the tiger's whereabouts are still unknown, the police said.

Via @BrianFaughnan. On the other hand, it’s Texas. The tiger’s probably holed up somewhere, trying to figure out how to get to a zoo safely, because he didn’t ask for this, human. He was behaving himself. Getting dumped in the middle of a state where they give out AR-15s as party favors wasn’t his idea.
Remember: the new “A proper picture for my ‘Pickman’s Model!'” Kickstarter in two days!
Art! Art! Let’s pay for some art! Ben Fleuter’s at work bringing some blasphemous art to light for my… I don’t know what to call it. Actually, I do know what to call it, but ‘companion piece to HPL’s Pickman’s Model‘ is amazingly arrogant. Then again: so am I.

Art! Sign up today to be notified!
05/10/21 Snippet, Rescue From Chateau d’Aléatoire.
Took a break from revising to do some… well, revising, but this kind adds a lot more words.
Patreon!“So, what was your plan, mademoiselle?” Gerard asked as they walked through the halls. The tone was as carefully picked as the title of address; he wanted to see how she reacted, here where it was relatively safe to do so.
He had to admit, she handled both well; he flattered himself it was because of his good example. There was not even a hint of petulance in her tone when she replied, “I was to make my way to where my brother is immured, putting to sleep any impediments I could not avoid along the way. Then, once I had gained entrance to my brother’s rooms, we would flee this place entirely. Let the… enemy… have it.”
Well, at least she didn’t say ‘Gaillic bastards,’ thought Gerard. Although ‘enemy’ is quite bad enough. Aloud, he said, “I take it you have already worked out the flaws in this plan?”
“I did.” Tempeste looked at him with an unwavering gaze. “But I had no better one. My trustworthy servants are no longer here, and my brother’s men are dead, or… fled.”
