Where to begin...
I fell into stagnation back in October. Which is a real shame because I happen to like that month. Things happen, and it's in the past now. While things aren't perfect, I at least feel that things are starting to improve.
Creatively things are working out.
"The Novel that Won't Die," (not it's actual title, but it describes the nature of it) is still alive and kicking. Despite all the abortive attempts I've made at writing full-length novels--I'm too god-damned stubborn to give up this time. I guess it's because I've lost the fear of rejection. It's also been a very therapeutic write--more so than the non-fiction I'd written about relationships. It's as Wes Craven said on Post Mortem with Mick Garris, "People go to horror films not to have the fear put into them. They go to have the fear taken out of them."
I also have plans for about five more books--the majority of which are vastly different from this one. They are all horror novels, but each one will be different from the first. Which I like, because, I don't like to repeat myself.
I know I'm being cryptic here as to the subject matter. I'm very protective of my ideas. I also like to wait until I'm finished before I say much. Suffice to say, it's a very different book about zombies--and a guy who gets rid of them for a living.
The podcast is going great as well.
I recently received a nice comment from a listener. I also know that some of you on here are listening to it as well. I greatly appreciate that.
I recently did a few submitted reviews--one of which was for a short film. Another one was for a web-based series, called The Dead Hour. Both of which were good, but The Dead Hour is definitely the stronger of the two. Still, a lot of fun was had in watching/reviewing both.
As for what is going on with the podcast now: I've just started the first of a series of H.P. Lovecraft episodes. I post this episode last Saturday, but as SG was down for a day, I didn't get the chance to talk about it on here. I've discussed Lovecraft several times before, and so both he and Cthulhu have become sort of patrons of the show. I even read "The Call of Cthulhu" for the Halloween episode back in October. This time, I started wtih a bio of Lovecraft. This is to be followed by a series of episodes where I discuss the Cthulhu Mythos, as written by Lovecraft.

The Fly Paper Dungeon--H.P. Lovecraft: The Man From Providence
As for today's plans: laundry, a little bit of shopping (if a girl doesn't tackle me for using Axe bodywash, then should I ask for my money back?), and a few more hours of writing.
Lovecraft, and his eldritch cat!

The way I look at the whole tiime travel paradox in Terminator is no one knows how time really works, whether it's one stream or multiple so I just say fuck it, it happened somehow haha. Maybe one day I will get drunk and contemplate it.
And I think my sister found those gummis at a dollar store somewhere.
