I love it when I think I’ve run out of time to start writing in the morning because I’m busy doing other things and I still manage to get 1000 words done. My goal for this novel is a conservative 5000 words per week. More if I can get ’em, but that pace would be satisfactory.
My essay The Halloween Tree is now up at the blog formerly know as Not Now…Mommy’s Reading, rebranded for October (to acknowledge its takeover by a motley crew of horror writers) as Not Now…Mommy’s Screaming. There’s also a contest where you can win a trade paperback copy of The Dark Tower Companion, so check it out, and also the other entries from my compatriots in horror.
My most recent essay for Stephen King Revisited is online this week, too. It’s called Can You See Me Running? and it details the historical context behind the publication of The Running Man, the last of the paperback original books published as Richard Bachman.
I was also interviewed recently for Ficção Terror, a Brazilian blog about horror movies and books. The interview is now available in both Portuguese and in English, so you can read it in the language of your choosing.
