When your bestie laments not bringing a wallet for coins to a convention, but you can crochet and have some yarn with you, you make do!

I'm currently waiting on responses regarding three separate funding applications and submissions responses from three publishers (two short comics, one short prose story, one non-fic book proposal) My understanding is at least one of those responses will come within the week. Welp.

I ran session one of my new DnD campaign last night. Homebrew campaign. I have already killed an NPC, and discovered that I'm accidentally running Only Murders in the Building.

"One gay wizard please" I gave Kei the choice between the version they drew in Death's Head, or the Young Avengers version.

My allergies have been kicking my butt today, so the energy to think clearly all the time is just not there, but contributors have at least been emailed. Bump in the Night was a wonderful dream. One day I'll have another.

I've been using TrackBear as a means of gently bullying myself into writing every day. It takes a while to develop a proper habit, so I'll take the external motivation for now.

Hey, so I hate asking for help (my therapist has a lot to say about that...) but... I really need help getting Bump in the Night funded. The whole landscape for crowdfunding is all over the place, and the last couple of years have been hard. I would love a win, and I love this book.

I was going to write a blog post tonight, but my brain has decided not to work. I normally watch a podcast at lunch on Wednesdays when it's released, but it would probably be easier for me to watch it in the evening and write at lunch instead. (Therapy is helpful, but oh boy is it tiring.)

One of my fave micro-genres of horror is "unspeakable thing trying really hard to pass for something normal, and getting it like 87% right." Stephen King's "From a Buick 8." The backrooms. Ancient fables where the devil/witches look human except for one hoof. Mimicry is predator stuff. OMINOUS.

With Bump in the Night funding on Zoop, I thought I'd talk about the process for putting together a book like this. Mandatory link: zoop.gg/c/bumpinthen... In this thread: 1. Book idea 2. Logistics 3. Pitches 4. Funding 5. Fulfilment This might take a while.

Running crowdfunding campaigns is stressful, which is exactly what I needed in the year of coming out and buying a house. Objectively, looking at how much we need each day was correct. But for my brain? *panic*
