It's essential, and I say this as someone whose life is already being pretty negatively affected. Everything from minimums to the size and duration of writers' rooms has to be dealt with, for reasons that range from the simple ability of writers to earn a living to finding a pathway to greater diversity. Sadly, I think it's going to take a while.
I can speak only for myself... I do not appreciate the gravity of this situation. I'm sure that's a view held by many. Maybe (of all people) the writers need to get more of the message out there?
The tall, handsome Mullins man on the far left looks exactly like me!
As an aside, I think the San Natana actually just moved away. A few days after the disappearance was reported a brand new river arrived in Greencastle, Co Donegal. It runs from the Sainte pub to The Ferryport pub. We call it The Nascent River.
Thomas’ brother was uprooted by some pilgrims a few years later and turned into a dining table for ship carrying British tourists. However, the poor tree was riddled with termites and later died of wood rot while at sea.
Ok, Michael. I think a book of short stories which expand on the “missing” Santa Cruz history, is in order. Why not expand into other, lesser known, haunted nooks and crannies around the world. I remain very impressed with your ability to convey very vivid and compelling images with very few words. Thanks for this!
Do make sure to check the Existence Schedule™ to avoid disappointment.
Thank you :)
Walking with his ‘bother’ eh? I wonder if he was a good fiend to him.
Dangit. Good spot. Fixed on site, but can't fix the email ;-)
any thoughts on the writers' strike?

Yes, I think I understand. Good piece from George RR Martin:

Excellent! Glad to hear it's got a new lease of life. And actually you do bear quite a resemblance to that guy...
Great stories Michael! Thank you!

Serves them right.
Not for long 😉

Thank you, Pat! I'm enjoying doing them, I must admit... and trying to think of a way to expand the idea...
