It all started on this day. Thank you for a wonderful twenty years.

(right) Cover art for issue 241 by Marcel Deneuve is "Labyrinths of Azarax" and features a blue and white mechanical eye in a circular opening looking at a small, white, glowing humanoid figure standing on a large pipe in the tunnel. Many pipes line the walls, all heading out to the main room. Pipes are yellow and gray. Room beyond is blue.

(left) Cover art for issue 1 by Tomasz Pietrzyk is "The Town of the Towers" and features a surreal town of yellowy white distorted towers with reddish orange roofs that overhang the towers and rise to a point. Mishapen dark windows and doors are scattered about on the buildings. Orange sky gives the entire piece a warm tone.

A.I. and corporate lingo are dragging language ynto drugged realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Language must have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake and leave wet dirtye footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Wielde them. Save us.

Stretch out on hard lumpy couch with TV and lights on and glasses stabbing into side of face: asleep immediately. Curl up in perfect comfy bed with white noise machine and peaceful darkness and cozy pillow: never sleep again.

Does the inherent quality of a piece of media matter when we love it due to nostalgia?

Gonna do animated movie week this week including (probably): Fantastic Planet Demon City Shinjuku The Last Unicorn The Dark Crystal (because puppets count as animation) Will happily consider any other animations matching these vibes.

Ok, people, this is huge: I have started writing a new short story (first in what feels like a verrrrry long while).

In case you didn’t know, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library sends free books to kids from 0-5 years, a new book every month. The love of reading is a gift that lasts a lifetime.

Looks like we are about $1.5k away from meeting our second stretch goal, and the crowdfund ends tomorrow! If you would like for us to publish two novelettes instead of just one, consider backing now 💸

The biggest thing I miss about switching from PC to Mac is that now I only have a backspace button, no delete. Yes, you can still delete with the right combo of buttons, but it’s just not the same.

Every time you interject an apostrophe into a word that doesn’t need one, an editor loses a shred of their wit’s.

Drove five hours to get to the beach to hole up in a hotel room for a couple days to get a project finished. But also, you know, if I lean far enough in my chair, I can see the sea.

Pretty sure I have reworked every scene and sentence of this novel so much that it has become the Novel of Theseus.

‘For days and nights they traveled over the moonlit sea.’ Um, no, pretty sure they didn’t. Embarrassing that it took me a minute to see why this sentence felt so off.

If a novel is a puzzle a big part of the trick is deciding how well you want the pieces to fit together.
