Not sure how many copies of Sunday I'll have at the Con. I'm sending them out as they come in completed. So we'll see. I will have Mystics and Desolation, though. Also, in all the rigamarole about the Film Fest, I don't seem to have an official reading time. I'm planning on storming the reading room if I can find anybody who gives a damn about listening to me. Stay tuned for that info when I have it. Not sure how many updates you'll get between now and Tuesday. The Con will probably drain my will to live. For updates, check Needcoffee. We're going to try and blog things as we go, depending on network coverage. If I think of anything worth saying for this site, I will. Otherwise, to tide you over, Something Odd 15 & 16 are up here. Enjoy. Filed under: General BS and Projects

Now that it looks like I'm going to keep doing these damn things, I've created pages with ten of the Something Odds to each one. So you can read them a bit easier. Filed under: Projects

So you can blame her. When I have a second to breathe, I'll create pages for 10 at a time for easier reading. In other news, the first completed rough copy of Sunday is in my hot little hands. Huzzah and stuff. I'll be updated the writing sidebar this weekend, mayhap. Filed under: Projects

This is ridiculous. I know the bishop and dean argue it is fiction - and it might even be brilliant fiction - but it is against the very essence of what we believe. First of all, how much do you have to pay to get an entire religion to do an ad campaign for your book/movie? Because I think that's the real conspiracy behind all this rubbish: the Catholic Church gets a kickback from Brown based on the book's sales. Why else would there not have been a single week in recent memory that the book wasn't making freaking headlines? First, you had the book hooplah with everybody saying it was fiction that rocked their world. This only proved that they don't read very much, because it's really only amazing in how mediocre it actually is. I'm sure if you only read one book every two or three years, and that book is whatever the "In" book is to have your nose in, then yeah, Dan Brown is Fiction God. Then there was the wave of specials on television. Now the protests just in time for the film. Ugh. Second of all, can you imagine a life that's more pathetic than one in which the belief system you've based your entire life around is so fragile that a book can threaten it? Me neither.

It's one thing when I get stopped from boarding a plane because I have a common name and they need to make sure that I'm not a big fat T-word or something. Both coming and going. Like somehow between being let on the plane in Atlanta and trying to return to Atlanta a few days later I've been recruited for some T-word organization and should be re-checked. Whatever. Fine. But…babies? Come on. If you don't have enough sense to know that somebody who's two isn't likely to have crawled off somewhere to get recruited without his or her parents' knowledge (or if you at least haven't RTFM for TSA procedures which supposedly says that 12 and under are exempt), we really need to get you away from customers, all right?

 Yes, there's the cover. This week copies will be created for the book. Which means I should have some at DragonCon, let's hope. Regardless, pre-publication orders are being taken as of now. This will be a limited run of 75 copies and then it goes away. If you want a copy, e-mail me and let me know. Cost for the book is only $5 and you can hit me up on Paypal for it (widgett@onetusk.com). If you want to send a check, contact me for a snail-mail address, but know the check needs to be made out to John Robinson, since it's his bank account. Shipping is $2 through the regular post and that will get it anywhere. Poems in the book are as follows: "Mithradates–he dead." Thanks to everyone for their patience. Let the typesetting for Something Else commence. Filed under: The Sunday Before You

There's a comic strip generator here, that I found via Screenhead. And it made me start something else. Sorry. They're a little too large to post in here, but here's the first three. Filed under: General BS

From "Dies Irae," from Sunday, which I swear to God is almost done…they've figured out a way to put you inside one of my wacky metaphors. Sure it's wood and I don't think you can drink out of it (give it time), but it kinda freaks me out. You can't unring a bell, and the two strangers who wish Found at Book of Joe by way of OhGizmo!

John Robinson is a writer of prose, poetry and comics who also writes under
the pseudonym of Widgett Walls.
This is my latest book. Short stories written especially for you, or at least someone who reminded me a lot of you at the time.
