Walking near the end of September
a season is dying in this reluctant sunset. blood like, summers lust being boiled slow into thick, lazy syrup. spiders bloom to grow in corners. every dark alley should be this full of dry leaves.

Egg? Chicken? On writing for money
Recent arguments have actually swayed many writers who now refuse to write for free. I am speaking from watching the comments and conversations with those that are graduates of j-schools, working and respected journalists, freelancers, contributers to professional organizations such as PWAC, TFEW, CAJ and others. This applies not only to journalists, but fiction authors [...]

Back to school
There is a part of me that will always love September. It is almost October for one, the sun is not nuclear and those who have allergies will slowly stop complaining about them.

A Violent State world premiere
I have just returned from a world premiere at the Ottawa International Film Festival. Tonight's feature length film may not be horror, but I really have to give a well deserved shout out. And hey, it does certainly have enough blood! Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing A Violent State to life. Parktown, Kambites Media and Fluke [...]

Pining for Through the Weeping Glass
If only, oh, if only I lived closer to the Mutter! They had commissioned a film by the Quay brothers and if it is anything like this, I want it on infinite loop behind my eyelids. Or on DVD. That would be cool too.
