The rain continues and my yard is turning Cambodian by way of New England. Our Dutch farm wall is surrounded by lush green hyper-growth, algae creeps along the side of our house, and insects the size of staplers cling to our window screens. Let the whiners and moaners complain about weather. I like the rain. All of it.
My short story “Simulacrum” is a finalist for DIAGRAM magazine’s Innovative Fiction Contest, which means you can find my short published in their summer fiction issue. I’ll do the usual website thing…wait a month or so before posting it here. Or you can check out their site.
Remember that script I mentioned a few weeks ago? I put finger to keyboard this weekend. My last experience with an indie producer left me a bit skeptical (Dimension Films had nothing to do with said skepticism) but this time around feels different. Because I’m getting paid upfront. Amazing what an advance does for one’s idealism.
