I've talked to more than a few people (this was when I was still working) and saying how it seems we had so much less money in the early 90s and yet still be able to do so much more than now. Finally got things straight with the right people, The Holy Terror will be out in trade next year. Fingers crossed, later this year will be my Stoker Finalists, FOR YOU, THE LIVING,LOVER DOLL, and a few others. I'm up to 6K on the book, at least its getting higher.

Good luck with the novel indeed. Have been waiting for another since "The Holy Terror" blue me away so long ago, riding back from NECON in a van...

Good luck with the novel indeed. Have been waiting for another since “The Holy Terror” blue me away so long ago, riding back from NECON in a van…

(I can't get it to go past Weighing Lean Sailor.) I loved Tom Robbins' work when I was in college. I'm hoping this will be more like ERASERHEAD meets TERMS OF ENDEARMENT. (No, not really.)

Anyone who has never just raved (distinctly different from ranting) has missed a lot of liberation. And if you have an imagination on steroids, that can be quite entertaining. It's difficult sometimes to keep "raving" in a box, to find your center -- or rather for other people to find your center -- but raving is immensely rewarding. I still do it a lot, and in certain venues it is guaranteed to instantly draw a crowd. However, I practice freedom in a more serious -- romantic, actually -- way now. You practice freedom with your own shades and hues, Wayne Alan Sallee, and plug it into that encyclopedic knowledge you have of certain things and into your ability to chronicle cultural details and distill meanings. All by way of saying good luck with the novel. Take your vignettes and go forth and multiply your stream-of-consciousness the way you did in your Cthulu story. You never know what you might come up with -- another Tom Robbins STILL LIFE WITH WOODPECKER? It's what I did with THE PHASES OF HARRY MOON, and that book is still a cult classic, bringing me enjoyable and rewarding weekly mail now 22 years later.
