This weekend will be a milestone in the Craphouse renovation (can I call it a renovation at this point, when it’s really more of a make-it-moderately-sanitary-so-we-can-at-least-move-in-ovation?) — I’m kicking the weekend off with a big ol’ mess of plaster.
Quick Update
The Craphouse Chronicles’ new blog pages will be up soon. We’ve found some hideous house-eating fungus @ the CH and my days have been all about that for the past week or so. I’ll update you here and on our new Facebook fan page once the new blog is up! Also: the next (and hopefully…
New Craphouse Chronicles Content on FB
Just a quick note to let you all know that I’ve posted some new content on the CH’s awesome FB page: a few fun pics, a couple of snarky comments. There is a lot more to come in the days ahead, stay tuned!
The Craphouse’s Facebook Page Is Up

Movies!
I love ’em. Who doesn’t? I also love talking about ’em…but I’m a natural-born lazy-ass and in-depth reviews which take into account the director’s past work, actors’ growth as artists, and the entire history of cinematography and the technology behind filmmaking are not going to come from me. So I’m going to start rating movies…

Menace and Whimsy
I almost forgot all about this whole shameless self-promotion thing. An excerpt from my (as yet untitled) NaNoWrimo’d novel will be published in the Spring issue of A cappella Zoo. The excerpt, “These Troubles, Oh No”, was accepted pdq; the editor called me just a couple of days after I had submitted it. This really…
Market of the Week – Non-Paying
This market for hard-boiled short fiction really packs a punch.
Market of the Week – Paying
This week’s paying market is an absurdist journal out of Massachusetts. Bust Down The Door And Eat All The Chickens specializes in humorous bizarro, slipstream, and absurdist fiction.

A number of smaller print and online magazines have decided to use their editorial budgets to offer writing ‘prizes’ to work they’ve accepted for publication. When your piece is accepted by these markets, your piece automatically goes into a competition pool. The best work (usually…
