Rye whiskey.

I am celebrating. Early Onset of Night, Volume Two is essentially done. Well, the writing has been done awhile, but the gory details are about done now.

There is the matter of the cover, the matter of the order.

The FUCKING order, I should say.

My writing strikes people as very autobiographical. It's in my tone, the way I write the stories. Am I saying it's not autobiographical? Not necessarily, but this conversational tone is very prominent in this book, which becomes problematic with horror.

Did you really do this??? People who have read it wonder. Did you really kidnap someone???

I plead the fifth. As a writer, you should NEVER show your cards. Well, except for the ace.

But the order. It's fucking with me. Humor and horror. Poignancy and violence. How does it all fit together. In what way? In what order?

Fuckit.

Rye whiskey.
