Bad Cats.

TRUFAX. My cats Flynn and Shadow are two of Scardeycat’s babies and indeed wonderful cats, as have been every single one of Scardey’s kittens that I have met.

Apologies for the image-heavy-ness, but how else can we convince you that Scardeycat and Toast are WONDERFUL CATS and that you should help them finally have a Forever Home?

Please help spread the word! Surely there is an author out there in dire need of a lucky black cat, as well as a most excellent mouser for their castle or private island? An artist who deserves to have Scardeycat lay at her feet and dream of that one time she ate a frozen pigeon, while Toast proves he can climb anything climbable and many non-climbable surfaces?

THESE COULD BE YOUR CATS.  Contact candice.velasco@gmail.com to come meet Scardeycat and Toast and fall in love with them and take them home.

(If it weren’t for that pesky ‘I kinda sorta almost died that one time’ incident, believe me, I would.)

The day I went into the ICU, my bff @lemonsharks brought Shadow, Scardeycat, and her 4 newborn kittens home, and has been taking care of the whole family ever since (including some very hefty vet bills). 

She is an AMAZING freelance copywriter but her current gig ends soon, so tip jar:  https://paypal.me/CandiceVelascoXII

OK but if I remember correctly, you do have a fiddler on-call.

The more of your works that I read, the more I've come to the conclusion that the reason you write so much about the Folk is because you absolutely made a deal for excellent writing skills.

There is a non-zero chance I sold my soul at the crossroads.  We have been on watch for the deal coming due for years.

[fringe-element]

OK, so, here’s the thing about Hail, Caesar!

I love this movie. I love this movie so, SO much more than I probably should. But I do. And reading reviews, wow did everybody else seem to see a completely different picture that I did. They talk about meandering plots and character cameos and how it’s a movie about faith, but they don’t seem to get it. They think it’s a wacky, sardonic comedy that doesn’t quite do what they think it’s supposed to do. But well... they’re wrong.

Hail, Caesar! is a caper. It’s set in a styalised, hilarious version of the tail end of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and it’s hilariously funny in ways you have to see to believe. 

Bu even ast it’s an entertaining caper, what it is to me is the story of a man who is trying to make a decision that would be smarter, healthier, and better for him in the long run in every single way--except the truth is that he utterly and completely thrives on the chaos of making movies. And so he has to choose between what looks amazing on paper, versus what feeds his soul. He has to choose what should make him happy, over what does make him happy.

Um... I may over-identify with Eddie Mannix.

Also, at no point is the entire mirror narrative of Hobie Doyle not perfect in every single way, and if anyone says differently so help me I will fight everyone in this bar. Because while Eddie 100% sincerely believes in Capitol Pictures with the kind of belief normally reserved for religions, Hobie doesn’t take any of that stuff seriously at all. Because he’s a real person with a solid sense of self who knows he lucked out and that’s about it. And Hobie Doyle may not know what to do in a Noel Coward drawing room, but straight up knows exactly what to do when it comes to people. Because he pays attention and he effortlessly understands people. 

There’s just this AMAZING moment when for no reason at all, Eddie tells Hobie something he really probably shouldn’t ought to have, out of a sincere moment of “wtf do I do?” and THE ENTIRE MOVIE TURNS ON THIS MOMENT in ways I can’t describe. But let’s just say that every time I say “Hobie Doyle has seen things. Hobie Doyle has seen some shit.” it’s for a real solid reason.

YOU’RE MY FAVOURITE.

So, I kinda sorta did a thing.

As part of The [Grand] Plan, I have set up a Patreon. I was going to launch it last month, but per usual, life happened. However, I thought you all might like to know what The Plan actually is…

So, check out my Patreon page, and learn about how I am trying to turn my freelance career into a real fulltime job. This won’t happen over night, but I’ve been working on a sort of Five Year Plan. 

(And I promise, none of the steps involve collecting underwear.)

[fringe-element]

Sooooo.... the timing on The [Grand] Plan has been moved up, due to losing my day job last week! HOW EXCITING IS THAT?

So if you want to check out my Patreon, hire me to make you cool stuff like print/ebook/cd covers, posters, tee-shirts, etc, or buy one of the still in stock and ready to be mailed Full of Briars prints, now is an excellent time!

(FYI, once production costs are covered, all the profits from the FoB prints will go to Seanan McGuire’s cat’s vet bills.)

Sorry for the terrible phone pic--my GOOD camera’s batteries died on me, and I was waiting for them to recharge. But look! Look what is NOW IN STOCK and shipping soon to those who pre-ordered, and is still available to buy!

@lemonsharks! 

lemon shark!

I find the best motivation to clean my desk is usually either “where the hell is my one lone binder clip goddammit I know I have one?” or “I know I have a Target giftcard here somewhere, I just saw it yesterday.”

At some point I need to find the motivation to clean up my desk. Its a mess and I hate it.

And somewhere in Manhattan, Claire Temple just got a migraine and has no idea why.
