The fairly redundant MST3K Kickstarter post.

Redundant in the sense that there’s almost no point in putting this post up: the new MST3K Kickstarter may actually fund before I finish typing it out. Two million in as many days is pretty impressive. Although they’re really trying for five or six, which would let them produce a full season. Crowdfunding is a fascinating development…

Tweet of the Day, I Kind Of Want To Write This One Up edition.

It’s a killer concept…

My son asked my 8 yr old grandson for an undead monster. "A War Eater."

Father "A War Eater?"

Son "They are made when a soldier dies of old wounds, but not during battle. They are undead that eat wars."

I picture a titan with AK-47 fingers, skin of scaled kevlar vests, etc.

…and I played with it a little in the response, trying to expand on the idea while keeping it legitimately horrific. It’d be easy enough to make it almost cutesy, but where’s the fun in THAT?

‘Windmills.’

I’ll know it’s over when I can sing this to people in person.

04/07/21 Snippet, PROCESSING DUTY.

A little low on wordcount, but the novel revisions took up some time.

Patreon!

I know you’ve been briefed about Processing, Agents. You never would’ve been let onto the Site if you weren’t. It’s the whole reason for the Site. But I don’t know if you two feel how important Processing is. I mean, in your gut.

Oh, I know you G-Men have stories to tell. All the crazy stuff going on out there, in the dark places where nobody can see? When you guys clear your cases, the ones without names on the folders, that stuff ends up in the Queue. So I know what your agency does to keep America safe.

But we don’t just see the FBI’s exed-out files. We get stuff from everybody. Stuff I’m not gonna talk about, because it’s need-to-know, and you don’t need to know it. You wouldn’t want to know it, because the knowledge won’t do you a damn lick of good. Look at me: I love baseball. I haven’t seen the Yankees in years. It’s okay, because there’s still the radio. But that’s the life we have here.

04/07/21 revisions, MORGAN BAROD.

Got Chapters 13-15 done: we’ve just started in on the vampire city of Red Bank. The notes are falling fast and furious now, though. Oh, the revisions that must be done!

…And maybe another fight scene. Or something.

The GoFundMe for my old buddy Eric Burns-White.

He literally had a ceiling fall on him.

Eric’s fine, but he and his wife have to move out again while they fix the problem, and there are health issues involved, and… you know. It’s been a week/year/decade. He’s a good dude and writer (his book just came out!): I can happily vouch for his character.

The JUPITER’S LEGACY Netflix trailer.

I never read the JUPITER’S LEGACY comic, but Mark Millar… seems all right as a person. I was gonna say something mean, like ‘for a comic book artist,’ but that’s uncalled-for. Who the hell am I to judge? I write fantasy novels!

Gratifying clip from GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE.

Gratifying in the sense that I was ready to scream BURN IT! BURN IT WITH FIRE! at the screen, and then… well, watch.

GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE comes out July 8th.

‘Tubthumping.’

The final WITHOUT REMORSE trailer.

On the one hand: they’ve fiddled with the plot to WITHOUT REMORSE something fierce. To the point where it’s almost unrecognizable.

On the other hand: Michael B. Jordan.

And, on the gripping hand: it comes with Amazon Prime.
