Fun fact: Clarkesworld was the first magazine that ever rejected me, when I first started trying to publish my short stories in November 2019.
It’s been exactly 7 years since then, so the publication of “22 Steps to Become Us” feels like coming full circle.
Now vs then 🥹
I need help to pay my tuition so I can register for my last semester of classes at the Art Institute. I don't like asking but I can't do this by myself and closed mouth won't get fed. I appreciate contributions, big and small, financial or reshare or signal boost. Thank you
@stephenking told my editor in response to a blurb request ‘I’ll do my best’
That’s honestly further than I ever expected to get! And been seeing a lot of authors I know personally and adore from afar getting his support.
Just my three cents.
@jarredgeller The one at the prison didn’t tell us anything new but basically showed us the same Liz we saw in the first half. There was no anger, no shock, no denial. The revelatory stuff of the second half was mainly Billy. Amanda’s reactions, whether real or fake, aligned with the audience
@jarredgeller But the most shocking things about the film weren’t in the re-enactments. The one of the phone call was a nothing burger, the one where Billy made the deal was basically confirmed by Billy on screen later (as opposed to ‘that never happened’ or ‘she was in the room with us!)
You Can See Everything SPOILERS
As a psychiatrist, I was profoundly affected by the scene with the joke. If that was real it struck me as a complete game changer.
I have a number of Spooky Season events on my calendar that I'm so excited about!
Check them out! Come out and see me! Details and links below and in comments.
