Spontaneous (2020) Review from The Podcast Compels You available today!

Houston has banned I Am Billie Jean King--one of our greatest sports heroes. All because we mentioned who she is and who she loves. Now a whole community won't learn about this amazing person. I hope they change their minds. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

RIP last remaining Houston Alamo Drafthouse.

The right-wing has become the white-ring.

Hey, everyone! I'm submitting! You should, too!

Wishing a happy 93rd birthday to one of the world’s greatest filmmakers and a wonderful man, John Boorman!

If you haven't finished the first draft of your book yet: I'm calling you out. There's an amazing (and free!) resource you're missing out on. It'll really help get you over the finish line. Check it out. jacksonfordauthor.com/dfq

Someone sent this to me. So true.

If you like horror on the screen, and you like your movies rated scene by scene by two nerds who talk and talk about what it all means... The Podcast Compels You has released part 2 of The Rent is Too Damn High, The Sentinel (1977). Spotify. Apple Podcasts. open.spotify.com/show/2DGQlUY...

Happy National Screenwriters Day!

Well, shit.

I do most color commissions for $250.

I remember where I was when Columbine happened. Now, school shootings are so common that some young people are now victims in more than one. There is direct causation in too many guns, too many dead kids.

I'm happy to announce I'm joining The Podcast Compels You as a cohost. Check out the latest episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Kalvin’s writing is great! Go get a copy from Amazon if you use that service!

Just finished JADE WAR by @fondalee.bsky.social. Holy moly! Great pacing and a compelling narrative. The ending did not turn out like I thought it would. I love the surprises Lee puts into her pages.

Fangs on the Range Part 1: BILLY THE KIDS VS DRACULA (1966) is now available on The Podcast Compels You! My friend @stacieherrington.bsky.social interviews Jared Michael Delaney about the movie and his novel adaptation! open.spotify.com/episode/0nKG...

Just finished JADE CITY by @fondalee.bsky.social (recommended by my friend Kris after I enjoyed THE BONE RAIDERS). Not the same tone of story. It took me a few chapters to adjust my expectations. After that, finished it in a day. Can’t wait to get into its sequel, JADE WAR. So many good characters.

The key to choosing a laundromat is to choose the one with the graveyard.

every author in the class action, please file the claim.

Friends! I am teaching a workshop in December that I am so excited about! I’ve been writing and writing about domestic fabulism forever, but I’ve never actually fashioned a workshop around it before. I think this is going to be so much fun - I hope you’ll join!

First person to check THE BONE RAIDERS out of my library! No crease in the spine. Fresh new book smell. 100% awesomeness from @realjacksonford.bsky.social.

For my partner, I read aloud "Scissors: A Love Story," the first story of Bury My Body Somewhere Nice by @kalvinellis.bsky.social. It's a rollicking fun story with a unique POV. Both my partner and I truly enjoyed it. You can get it here. kalvinellis.com/bury-my-body...

Today I am do some post-production 🎧 on the latest episode of The Podcast Compels You. I really find this kind of work fun. 🥳 Also, in relation to my previous post, yes, this is a distraction from writing. 🐿️ Anyway, watch for a new episode dropping soon! 👀 open.spotify.com/show/2DGQlUY...

Breaking things is easy. Understanding why they break is art.

I'm having a tough time getting through the second draft of my first novel. I keep distracting myself with other things. The worst part, I know I'm doing it. It's not a question of motivation; I've got that. It's just good old self-doubt. So, I don't write and, rather, do things I know I'm good at.

It’s 1:54AM CDT. In an hour it’ll be 1:54AM CST. Time is hard.

Check it out! @stacieherrington.bsky.social has a new micro-fiction story published on @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social's Substack! cynthiapelayoauthor.substack.com/p/halloween-...

Well, this looks fun AF. @nostarchpress.bsky.social does it again with an amazing title!

Indiewire says WE DESERVE A WIDE RELEASE!

"Kittredge has put together an important documentary here. It’s not a snarky takedown of one of the most reviled horror sequels of all time, nor is it an attempt at rescuing it from its reputation. It’s a discussion on ambition."
