Tonight’s viewing treat (no, I won’t rewatch ALL the episodes tonight)! First aired in syndication in 1987 and lasted 3 seasons. Influenced many of my favorite TV shows. Has nothing to do with the movies but is considered part of the franchise. It’s a blast. #fridaythethirteenth

#Spectember Day 16 - after writing 30 pages of this comedy feature, I stepped away from it last week because I felt it was a novella. As of this morning, I was wrong. It’s a movie. And it’s lots of fun. Wrote pp. 31–35 today.

Let the countdown begin... Set your alarms, folks, because we’re about to reopen submissions for Augur Issue 8 and Tales & Feathers Issue 3! ✨ SUBMIT your fantasy/sci-fi/dreamy realism short stories and poetry for our 2025 Issues!

Last night, a friend was browsing my shelves* when they lobbed these two at me and said, "There's five bucks in my pocket says you can't write a mashup of these." I am now five bucks richer (with new script outline). Never underestimate the power of a hack. * not a euphemism

Bravo Criterion Channel for the inclusion of made-for-TV movies; I'd love to see more restored and programmed - I could curate (what I think are) excellent made-for-TV movies of the 1970s (with some phenomenal stories and star performances).

Fuck.

#Spectember Day 18: The double-header announcement of the Lionsgate/Runway AI partnership and YouTube's integration of generative AI video tools has forced me to rethink my life, skills, goals, and worth. I've put my scripts and stories on hold until I can think this through.

We’re open for submissions for Issue #31. Deadline to submit is December 1st. Send us your best prose, poetry, and hybrid work 🚀 hungermtn.submittable.com/submit

Hivemind: Could anyone give me examples of "cozy fantasy" and "romantasy" novels/stories? And is there such a niche genre as "cozy sci-fi"?

Starting the last day of summer by spinning “Early Autumn" (coming to you from 1962). Have a bossa nova day, friends.
