The bound galleys for Horror Screenwriting: The Nature of Fear have just come in! If you’re not familiar with them, this is the last step in the printing process prior to going to printing a full batch. This is also my last chance, as well as my editor’s, to catch any mistakes and correct them.

Rather than let the dust collect on the blog whilst being elsewhere, I thought I would share a video that I chopped together back when I had something called spare time.
I’ve been really and truly too busy to post anything for the past few days. Once the dust has settled and I have a moment to breathe, I’ll be able to go into some more details here. For now, they’re all hush-hush, top secret things that I cannot speak of until the ink is dry on the paper.

This week’s show is going to be great. We’re focusing on B-movies and I’m proud to announce we’re having Martin Lopez on for an interview. Martin wrote one of my own guilty pleasures and seriously hilarious sci-fi comedy Mutant on the Bounty.
I know I haven’t written much in the last few days. Truth be told, I haven’t been anywhere near my computer to write anything. But I’ve got a few nice things lined up here this week, so stay tuned!
