Kip Ramsey is a bit obsessed with the VGK cold case. But it’s been 30 years since the last vic was taken…or has it?

Is The Van Gogh Killer picking up where he left off? Can Kip prove it before the next vic is taken?

So, realized I haven’t updated here in a while…almost a month? 😬 I do have a good reason tho ☝🏻

I had major surgery last Monday. It was laparoscopic surgery, but a doozy. Thankfully, my surgeon is so amazing! It’s only been ~10 days & man, I haven’t felt this good since 2018, when I got sick 😂

Pitch Perfect—Should Writers Do Those Pitch Events on Social Media?

Short answer—yes! ✅ Whether we like it or not, part and parcel of the trad publishing journey is now social media. As I said in previous posts, the way of the industry is heavily relying on authors…

Do I Need an Editor? Paying the Price for Perfection (Or Close to It)

This is a common question I see all the time; should I pay for an editor? I’m gonna give it to you straight—you should. That doesn’t mean you have to, though it does depend on the circu…

Madness or Method? What’s in a Writer’s Method & Writing a Book

Some say there’s a method to my madness…or is it madness to my method? 🤔 It’s one of the two, I know that much. I’ve touched briefly on how I went to and graduated from film…

2/2 Curious, I popped on the Bluray to check out the quality…

Let’s just say, I will never be watching my comfort flick on anything other than my 4K copy 😆

Tbh, it was about the same as my DVD (that I still have 🥲) I got in a bin at Blockbuster in 2007. It has the BTS stuffs tho, at least 🤷🏼‍♀️😊

Evelyn Greyson @eagreyson.bsky.social · Aug 11

Totally random & not writing related: I have the 4K of my comfort werewolf flick Dog Soldiers (2002), which also comes with the high def Bluray.

It was an upgrade from my DVD, but I’ve never played the Bluray, despite the special features being on it. The 4K is IMMACULATE, btw. 10/10 recommend. 1/2

I have taught 3/5 of my cats how to “sit” on command. This feels like a new cat lady level unlocked for me lol

The other two don’t participate purely because they’re picky about the type of treat I use 🙄 Spoiled.

That’s when you end up sitting on the side of the bed with the demon doing a deep dive on your childhood trauma and why you have abandonment issues.
