No on told me either. DO IT!

Somedays you gotta be like:

My adult crime thriller written with Justine Larbalestier comes out July 21. It's called The Mortons. You can pre-order it now: scottwesterfeld.com/blog/2026/03...

Hello all, I'm thrilled to announce that the 2026-2027 Paramount Writers Mentoring Program is now open for submissions. The deadline is May 1st. You can find out more about the program and access the application here: www.paramount.com/writers-ment...

One of the best vampire films ever made. I would love to see a 1970s set TV series about them. Just tooling around the southwest in a camper eating people and avoiding sunlight.

Congratulations, and happy anniversary.

You might want to start using some moisturizer, buddy.

Thank you @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @shudder.com et al for keeping the love for movies we cherish alive, for creating a community of like-minded psychos and professing that The Drive-In will NEVER die! Now, let’s do this thing! WHAT ARE WE WATCHIN’??

Just remember folks, the Drive-In will never die. #thelastdrivein #mutantfam @themutantfam.bsky.social

Great job to everyone involved! What an epic run. Sorry to hear it's coming to an end on Shudder, but sounds like it might continue somewhere else.

Me: Milo, let’s wake up and start our day! Milo: Yes, I’m starting with a nap! He got up from sleeping on his dog bed so he could go sleep on the couch 😂

Meet Milo, a charming pound pup that 2 days ago I had no idea my daughter and I were adopting, but who is now snuggled next to us on the couch while we play Zelda.

I'm doing a mentor session for BAFF tomorrow about pitching TV. TV folks, what 1 piece of advice would you give for 2026? @johnrogers.bsky.social @amyberg.bsky.social @carolekirschner.bsky.social @joehenderson.bsky.social @okbjgm.bsky.social @bobgoodman.bsky.social @roberthewittwolfe.bsky.social

Hey, get that flu shot. Knowing folks who are catching this current flu and it's kicking them in the teeth -- the shot will, worst case scenario, prevent it from taking you to the hospital or the morgue. It might knock it out quicker for you or even help you duck catching it. (Mask up, too.)

I'm helping run a comic-con in NEW YORK CITY! Deadline to apply is February 2nd!

Scares That Care has TWO charity events in early 2026 -- our first Women's Writing Symposium and our 6th annual AuthorCon. For more information on either event, visit the charity's website: scaresthatcare.org

Perfection

To be honest, that's a pretty good starting word.

Definitely going to check this out!

Election following folks, when will we start to have solid numbers on anything? Like, 8pm? @gregpak.net do you know?

Since I’m not sure how long our spare tire is going to hold out & I think we’re gonna have to deal with getting a new tire soon, just thought I’d share our eBay store again just in case: ebay.us/m/Gxnycd

I voted by mail already and hope everyone else votes too! 🗳️
