Alright, time to cutesie this thing back up. You can’t have Halloween without candy, and if we’re being honest, then that’s just buckets and buckets of candy. So much candy. As a kid, I’d dream of getting enough Hallowen candy to swim in it like Scrooge McDuck in his money. I had some good hauls … More SJ Reads: Harriet’s Halloween Candy
Like I said, I can’t not talk about horror in October… I touched on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina a little while ago, so I can’t exactly ignore Afterlife With Archie. I picked the thing up because it looked so weird, I couldn’t really not read it. Even so, I left it sit around … More SJ Reads Bonus: Afterlife with Archie
Sometimes I have bits of stories that come out of nowhere, and I’m not quite sure what to do with them. Usually it’s a premise, sometimes an ending punchline, other times it’s a character or just a snippet of a setting or time period. Sometimes I’ll get a few paragraphs that don’t have anything … More Open Doors: #HoldOnToTheLight
Oh, October. I love you. Somehow, even when I was a scaredy cat growing up, I still wanted to live in a haunted house and played pretend that I was some sort of ghoul/ghost princess in a graveyard or ran around wanting to be a ghostbuster getting sucked into an alternate dimension…you know, normal kids … More On What Ifs and Horror Writing
It’s one of those weeks where I’ve got nothin’ new goin’ on, so let’s go to the archives and see what we can talk about. And since it’s Halloween and my daily artistic life is costumes, guess what another theme this month is… Pssst, it’s costumes. Totally costumes. At the moment I’ll stick with stuff … More Costume-palooza: Batgirl
It’s that glorious, wonderful, macabre, spooky, creepy, magnificent time of the year! And of course I’ll be reading creepy stuff all the way through it. For this month’s SJ reads, though, I thought I’d do something a little different and heap a big ol’ spoonful of nostalgia on this month’s pics (Don’t worry, … More SJ Reads: Space Case
Something fun for the weekend…so one of the things I never talked about because it was too hard at the time, but a few years ago Sam, the furry editor, finally passed. I still miss him like crazy, but I haven’t been really in a position (or ready) for another kitteh, so I’ve been doing … More The Caturday Critique Club
Besides teachers, I think sometimes we take for granted how much libraries and the communities they foster can really, truly encourage people, especially kids. So today’s look back deals with some of the libraries in my life. *** I’ve talked about it off and on in interviews and the like, but I cannot stress how … More 2nd Look: Library Livin’
New stuff for your Tuesday! Note – I’m still catching up on personal correspondence from the last week. I’m working on a few possible future things lately, so I’m balancing that with trying to get media organized again, and some other things, as well. So I am getting there. Congrats to the winner of the … More Free Flash Fic, Reviews, & More
I was going to wait until October, but since the news broke last week that it’s getting a TV option and I LOVE this series, I decided what the hey. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is another offering from Archie Horror, who brought us the magnificent Afterlife with Archie. A few things to keep in … More SJ Reads: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
