White Cat, Black Dog: Stories

Kelly Link
Scott EdelmanScott Edelman

Learning Kelly Link's debut novel The Book of Love is 226,000 words long puts it at the top of my can't-wait-to-read list. When a writer dedicated to short stories, each a precious gem, finds an idea they feel worthy of that many words, I have faith it will be something special.

Happy 93rd birthday to the legendary John Romita, Sr., who drew the Human Torch for me more than half a century ago when I was an annoying little kid who'd wander comic book conventions with a sketchpad. Thanks for putting up with me! https://t.co/ZCzPoWddvy

The American Language: An Inquiry Into the Development of English in the United States

Henry Louis Mencken
Scott EdelmanScott Edelman

It's been pointed out the OED credits Mencken with that usage from his "The American language: an inquiry into the development of English in the United States." But ... was that actually something in common usage? Or did Mencken originate using it that way, and it was a one-off? https://t.co/cLFGhNc6LW

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: The Screenplay

Martin McDonagh
Scott EdelmanScott Edelman

Tonight's treadmill TV — most of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri — the rest of which I broke my rules to watch even after my stepping was done, because I *had* to know how it ended. It will take a while to fully sink in, as is true for all Martin McDonagh movies.

Oh, I so love Frog and Toad! And this Arnold Lobel watercolor would have looked lovely on my wall ... had it not sold at auction earlier today for ... $37,500. https://t.co/BXsqCvFlnR https://t.co/F9gSOdTScI

Ashes of Regret

Searby Gray

I was able to access decent bandwidth while at Capclave last weekend, so can finally bring live the videos I recorded of the authors who attended last month's @CharmCitySpec event. First up — Searby Gray, reading from her novel Ashes of Regret. https://t.co/Ssxads1xx0

What We Still Talk About

Scott Edelman
Scott EdelmanScott Edelman

Sent off the manuscript of a short story collection for consideration by a publisher. If accepted, it would be my first devoted solely to science fiction since 2010's What We Still Talk About. Choosing the best order for the dozen stories was almost as hard as writing them!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: A "Misdirected Theatre" Adaptation

Jack Neary
Scott EdelmanScott Edelman

Last night's earworm which serenaded me each time I woke was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' "I'm Wishing" ... only not the version from the movie, but rather as sung by @JackPlotnick in one of his wonderful homage videos. Get out of my head, Jack! https://t.co/gcC6bqHPwF

The Mystery of Edwin Drood

Dickens
Scott EdelmanScott Edelman

Guess who, while recording an episode of Eating the Fantastic Friday, went on and on about that unfinished Dickens novel Bleak House, when he of course meant The Mystery of Edwin Drood? Me! I need to warn listeners during my intro so they don't scream upon reaching that section.

We Own This City: A True Story of Crime, Cops, and Corruption

Justin Fenton

This afternoon's treadmill TV — We Own This City Episode 3. Look forward to reading @justin_fenton's book of the same name once I'm through with the series to see how much of what's on the screen has a basis in reality.
