Doing a solid for somebody who is doing me one...

Matt Farley is a new author trying to get what looks like a promising mystery/SF/horror novel off the ground. So, if you have an opportunity, and a few extra dollars/pounds/euros lying around, do give it a look:

A cartoon illustration of Jason Voorhees quietly sitting in his kitchen with a cup of coffee, looking out the window. Caption reads "He found he always had mixed feelings on this day."

This Sunday at 9pm Eastern (that's 1am Monday UTC) it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come watch a monster movie with a bunch of nerds!

We've watched two terrible Sword and Sandal movies, so now let's watch a good one. This week's film is JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963), widely regarded as Ray Harryhausen's best work. At this point I'll be satisfied if the plot is coherent :P

The flick's available free with ads over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/674726/jason-and-the-argonauts

Or you can download from Archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/jason-and-the-argonauts-1963_202511

See you this Sunday!

3/12. How could someone who knows your MC well console them after the last time you made them suffer?

It doesn’t feel like I’m afflicting anyone. They make their choices. And they endure the consequences.

3/10. Antagonist POV: Imagine you achieved your goal. What’s next?

Hah! Thats the root of their downfall. There’s no real long-range plan. It’s a target without a real purpose. Like a lot of technological toys.

3/2. Do you write scenes out of order? If so, how do you decide their arrangement?

Absolutely. Without an ending spelled out, it’s hard for me figure out what needs to happen to arrive there.

A cartoon illustration of a man down on the floor vacuuming and being surprised to see a bearded scared man hiding under the credenza. Caption reads "And then one day, quite unexpectedly, Peter found Jesus."

Delightfully dark, a good winter read.

"I don’t need you,’ I say, ‘I want you. That should be enough. That should be better because it means I’ve made a choice."

2/28. Would you like to meet any of your characters? Would you tell them who you are?

Some of them are nice and might be fun to visit.

In their world, I’d be little more than a dime novelist, an ink-stained wretch. Telling them who I am would make me just another easterner, lost in the American West.

2/27. Which or your characters do you find especially interesting? Why?

I try to make them all interesting, otherwise, I’d be bored writing them. I also try to avoid putting too much emphasis on anyone. The MCs are the folks at the center of the narration, everyone else is the MC of a different book.
