As a child I made Pennywise the stand-in for everything I was afraid of in the real world. The Loser's Club taught me how to be brave and fight the horror head on. I owe Stephen King my writing career, but I also owe him my life.
I use Scrivener for both. I will use Atticus if I don't have my laptop with me, but I like it more for formatting than writing. I'll check out Highland Pro for screenwriting! Scriviner can be clunky for it.
I love this so much! Reading to a partner is such a wonderful activity, and I thank you for choosing one of my stories to do it!!
Congratulations on getting to the second draft! That first draft is always the biggest struggle for me.
What softwares have you tried and what did you land on?
Going to be posting a lot more while I'm working on this next book. What are you working on??
I also barely know what day it is, so good chance I miss everything.
I had no idea!

Have so much fun!! Two powerhouses coming together!
Have fun with it!
Nervously going down the rabbit hole that is SOFT, CHEWY CENTER, one of five stories in @kalvinellis.bsky.social
' BURY MY BODY SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Just saw The Life of Chuck. I really liked the short story by @stephenking.bsky.social and loved the movie even more. Enjoyed the Q&A hosted by @ericvespe.bsky.social . But the moment that stood out was @mikeflanaganfilm.com saying "Make momets," and telling everyone to do the thing that brings joy.
Always an absolute pleasure to talk with Kim C. She injects raw sunshine into these coal-fired veins of mine.
Give it a listen wherever you get podcasts.
Nice! Just watched the movie and loved it!
OR JUST NOT FUCKING USE IT EVER

"The kind of thing you stumbled across in your dad's attic and realize how much cooler he is than you thought," is exactly the vibe I was going for in the design! Thank you!!
Me, holding a paperback copy of Kalvin Ellis' BURY MY BODY SOMEWHERE NICE. The cover has a lovely, lurid illustration of a man about to bury a scantily clad woman. It looks a lot of horror fun.
Just received this little pulpy paperback beauty from @kalvinellis.bsky.social
Five stories of grue and gore and questionable decency (I hope!)
It looks like the kinda thing you stumble across in your dad's attic and realise he was much cooler than you thought.
Can't wait to listen! Another kid from Colorado!
Loved that movie!
