It's been a long week

Morning darklings,

I have spent all week marathon editing Animal Noir stories. I’ll be editing Clocks this weekend and next week. There are so many steps after that: authors’ comments, formatting, authors’ looking over the book, final e-copy, proof copy, upload to The Places, etc.etc.

None of that includes this huge overhaul I’m doing to my website to bring you all some very fun stuff in 2026.

Or the subluxed vertebra I can’t seem to sort out.

All that is to say, I’m the most fatigued potato. I cannot manage writing something long or recording this go. So, more moods today.

Next week, Animal Noir news. The next one, Clocks news. Then, it’ll be time to tell you about that 2026 plan, recap 2025 (whattheverlovingfucktho), and Joyce news!

To be honest, darklings, there is going to be a lot of Buy This tucked in my newsletters for a few months, mostly at the bottom. I hope you’ll support me and buy the upcoming books (for the many authors benefiting from that decision) and the very cool, super neat subscription thing that will give you honest-to-goodness snail mail. But please don’t feel like you need to rush away if you aren’t able to. I’ll still be doing essays, mood boards, and the like. ❤️ 

Until next time, harness the Little darknesses and embrace the Little things.
