As a child I made Pennywise the stand-in for everything I was afraid of in the real world. The Loser's Club taught me how to be brave and fight the horror head on. I owe Stephen King my writing career, but I also owe him my life.

Going to be posting a lot more while I'm working on this next book. What are you working on??

Looks like he learned from the best...

Hear me out. Cameron Poe in Con Air gets a letter from his daughter saying her birthday is July 14th (and her daddy is coming home on Juky 14th). And the girls that are taken in Longlegs all share the same birthday, July 14th. Looks like we've got the origin story!

My ADHD is so terrible that I have a really hard time staying focused long enough to get any actual writing done. So I have to use hour glasses to keep me from looking at my phone. @gabino.bsky.social said to do the thing tonight, so I'm doing it. (I'm on my six minute break.)
#Writers, let's go!

The legend herself in Aliens!

I'm having con withdrawal. King Con was a blast. Even though it was a few weeks ago, I'm still swimming in the joy.
