Not Wrong At All
I… well… Let’s just put it this way, dear phone astrology app: You’re not wrong.

Meat, Grit, Other Forms
I’m contemplating going back into category romance for a while. I like writing them–the very narrow strictures mean one has to be extremely creative and I’m at my best when there are rules to subvert. I might even extend the Viral Agents series with Project Psyche. Another thing I like about working categories is that …

A Night Creature
By all rights I should be fast asleep. I am a night creature, despite having to impersonate a daywalker for nigh onto two and a half decades. Left to my druthers, I roll into bed between 2 and 5am, sleep until well past noon, watch the sun go down, then get to work in the …

Soundtrack Monday: Into Something Good
Sometimes a character requires the most outlandish things. For example, Christophe Reynard in Strange Angels has an extremely narrow musical taste–as in, it pretty much stopped changing when Buddy Holly died. Doo-wop and be-bop, in his opinion, will never die. The fellow considers Herman’s Hermits, while somewhat late to the party, the absolute acme. So …
Beginning the Magic Mountain
Well, it’s a Monday. I spent the last bit of my (very busy) weekend on the couch with Mann’s The Magic Mountain, which is going to be rather slow but enjoyable, like a caramel. Some of his asides remind me of Melville, but that could be a function of the translation. I’ve taken to logging …

At a Glance
I got an astrology app for my phone, mostly because other people were posting the small daily notifications and they were hilarious. It certainly didn’t disappoint, especially that particular Sunday. I am never lacking in fear. Sometimes I think I feel little else. But fear must be a spur instead of a wall–don’t let it …

Sort Of Recovering
Season 2 of HOOD starts today for my lovely subscribers. I’m pretty pleased, even if I might need three seasons instead of two after all, to get the arcs to fall right. Ah well, never rains but it pours, and that gives me more time to plan other things, I suppose. The stress of the …

Not-Sleeping with Segur
Not a single flicker of sleep last night, and my head is as tender as an overripe pumpkin. To think I used to endure insomnia three days out of five–well, I was younger then, and most assuredly am not at the moment. I’m fast losing my ability to string words together, and coffee is losing …

Soundtrack Monday: Pumped Up Kicks
It’s another Soundtrack Monday! Today’s track is Foster the People’s Pumped Up Kicks, which is what’s playing on the jukebox inside a pool hall near the beginning of Nameless–my retelling of Snow White. That song in particular was for Nico, who is not quite a Prince Charming. For one thing, Nico’s a Family boy, and …
From Every End
I finally have coffee this morning, no thanks to the dogs. Now I just have to wait for it to cool to a drinkable temperature. It’s always something. I spent the weekend doing housework and watching Buzzfeed Unsolved videos. (I like the true crime ones; life is always, always weirder than fiction.) It was pleasant …
