The Sky Vault releases 9/12. My beloved local indie - @contentbooks - set up a pre-order page. I will happily sign/personalize/scribble a goofy drawing for you, and Content will ship it your way or set it aside for pickup. Thanks for the support!

A meeting from 3 years ago led to an opportunity this month. A failed feature pitch from 2 years ago recently found new life in a different medium. A script I couldn't sell led to me working in animation. Writing is a long hustle, I'm saying, and "No," sometimes means, "Not now."

A failed screenplay of mine turned into a comic. A rejected novel turned into several short stories. A TV show that died in development hell turned into a novel. Whenever you encounter wreckage, think about the turn. It's waiting up ahead, even if you can't see it yet.

Writing advice often focuses on craft, but it's also a business. & my business advice, for what it's worth, is to diversify your work in such a way that you're not beholden to any person, company or institution, so that you can walk away to preserve your integrity if need be.
