It's a day ending in 'day', so I thought I should post about this collection of both the spectral and the bodily horrific: 14 stories of unease and alienation, bleak elation and despair. Ghosts and illness and pain and catastrophe. All the good stuff. undertowpublications.com/shop/i-would...

When I was volunteering at the COVID19 vaccine POD in 2021, people would say over and over again that they were getting vaccinated for the people they love. Last year, only 17.5% of American adults got the COVID19 vaccine. Please get one for the people you love. 💕

This is such a cool idea and a great way to directly support stories you like, authors who write those stories, and the venue that publishes them.

New project I've teased a few times is officially live! You'll see trading cards at the bottom of every story now and if you tip the authors at certain levels, you'll receive a physical card in the mail! Booster packs are coming to the shop soon and you can see the cards here: foofaraw.press/cards/

A really basic thing that people who use generative AI to make flyers, menus, book covers etc don't seem to grasp is that it makes it look like a scam. Using an image which has been generated makes it look like the real thing doesn't exist. No one wants to buy a ticket or whatever. It looks fake.

In the Renaissance people theorized, since the Aeneid is great, if you wrote poems made only of words & phrases from the Aeneid rearranged they should be great too, since a great source regurgitated should yield greatness. They produced NOTHING we still read. Thinking about that a lot lately.

"Today's the day I write again. It'll be great. I'm caffeinated and have no other obligations. Writing has my undivided attention. I feel inspired."
