They’re the best: Reasons to pick up a novella: literally pocket sized (for you or your friends). Also great reasons: *Quick-read style of a short story *But with novel depth *Great price *Great variety (check out some of our faves from @tordotcom in our SFF section)#bookshopshenanigans pic.twitter.com/mk7mhlXFRT — Bookshop Santa Cruz (@BookshopSC) May 17, 2018

Have had an accountant for a few years, am now an LLC, but I never understood taxes even partway until this guy broke it down into bite-sized chunks for me and the world: Tax tips for freelancers from a comic book writer

@AlanBaxter was cool enough to rig this together, as I’ve got the words, but not the photoshoppery:  

Man, this post plus the last one, you’d think I just troll these here internets, waiting for something that, to me, evokes one of my books. But? This one. C’mon. Having to work the call center for a defunct video game? That’s exactly the premise of The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti: Nintendo support will

are still not over. And, don’t mean to fake like it was the first book to pretend to be a novelization of a film (well, trilogy) that never happened—think Lem beat us all to that, somewhat, and I’m halfway remembering Coover having done something in that arena—but, glad to see it’s still going on:

Always had the dream of walking through Birchbark Books some fine afternoon. Until then, being there in a book’ll definitely do: What to #read? Who to read? Start here.

Ellen Datlow’s new anthology, which I’m fortunate enough to have waded into, way past my depth. Here’s a few of us saying some stuff about it over at Kirkus: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/features/how-ellen-datlow-and-authors-i-devil-and-deep-blue/  

I mean—they’re just laying down truth now, right? https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-entry-for-webmd-on-webmd

@SGJ72 Stephen, we loved Mapping the Interior. And we loved taking it apart to see how it works!! A great read 👍🏼 pic.twitter.com/DAMHaTHJyD — Meredith Doench✨ (@MeredithDoench) March 15, 2018

So impossibly cool:   My mock cover and spot illustrations for Tor Publishing’s “The Night Cyclist” by Stephen Graham Jones. Even though my class dropped the peer critique aspect of this project, I still had a lot of fun with it. pic.twitter.com/hLNKVZjEKn — Erin Satterley (@erinsatterley) March 13, 2018 WELCOME to my FAKE TOR COVER

Honored to be on the back of Laird’s envelope with these talented, hard-working writers:   Kelly Link; Brian Evenson; Victor LaValle; Nathan Ballingrud; Stephen Graham Jones; Aimee Bender; John Langan; Donald Ray Pollack; Dan Chaon; Livia Llewellyn. If I were scribbling a back-of-the envelope North Armerican All-Star list of living writers, this would be today’s

Or, as Uncle Jesse might say: that’s right neighborly of them.

Yeah, Twitter, like everything else, is imperfect, but when you see it crowdsourcing like this—just random people dogpiling a question—then it’s a bit closer, anyway (also? been researching this stuff for a story, so, was lucky to stumble into this): What’s the weirdest thing you remember misunderstanding as a kid? I thought adultery meant “pretending

Thanks to Michael David Wilson for wrapping them up over at LitReactor. Especially “I figure if I don’t scare myself, if I don’t feel that dread of what’s coming up next, I probably won’t scare you.” https://litreactor.com/columns/celebrating-dallas-mayr-the-wisdom-of-jack-ketchum-1946-2018 

Thought I was just writing fiction in Sterling City, what with the giant chrome-eyed caterpillars and all, but, oops: Here’s how Sterling City starts out: So, you know, watch out for the jumbo-size caterpillars and all. In a few million years.

I very much approve of this level of staging:   I did a little bio research on author, Stephen Graham Jones today. Do you look up author bios before you dive into their books? I highly recommend it. pic.twitter.com/KvyHY6yPdR — Sadie Reads Them All (@SadieLouWho) January 15, 2018
