Alice wants to hold a funeral for me, which is disconcerting because I’m not dead. But humans, like all aliens—and certainly all single-forms—have their own idiosyncrasies.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON

The second draft of my surreal psychological horror novel (code name: RIDING IN CARS WITH CORPSES), which is about mother-daughter road trips, corpse art, grief, and Red Vines, among other things.

And—I'm not gonna lie to you—I will also probably be writing some 9-1-1 fanfic. Because it makes me happy, and it could potentially make other people happy (if they like Angst & Humor and Emotional H/C, anyway, which is where I live), and life is short, you know? Do what makes you happy!

REWARDS

Wanna make me watch something you love that deserves more attention? Wanna make me watch the absolute worst thing you've ever seen in your life? Here's your opportunity!

For $15, I will watch and review any single episode of TV show on my blog, so long as I can stream or rent it legally in the US. (Cap: 3 per sponsor)

For $25, I will watch and review any movie under 2.5 hours on my blog, so long as I can stream or rent it legally in the US. (Cap: 2 per sponsor)

Reviews will be at least 250 words for a TV episode and 500 words for a movie. (Possibly quite a bit more, TBH, but I'm trying to pace myself here. I have to finish the second draft of my novel someday!)
