Sentient Androids, How I Love You

5/10/2017

First of all, I swear, yesterday, I had a post about androids.  But, unlike today (where I woke up at 1a.m. with that delicious writing bug), I was in too much of a hurry to fix the technological issues.  Nothing was posting or showing up right.  Weebly or WiFi, one of those W-motherfuckers wouldn't let me post.  Well, to be fair, I did manage to post my draft, a process that usually aggravates me because it takes so long.

All I said was that androids were playing a bigger part in The Harvest, bigger than I had planned.  In fact, I am writing the sequel in my head based on 147-Paul.  I know, I know.  I should focus on one project at a time. 

Also, I added links to the document upload partly for you but partly for me, so I could navigate through the draft. I haven't had time to insert the *.html anchors, but I will.  Maybe this morning.

I also reconnected with the editor, Adam Gottlieb, of my short story collection.  I am going to see him at an event this Saturday (https://www.facebook.com/events/1646103892154118/?hc_location=ufi) and offer some bones for his amazing work. He thinks he will be done by Tuesday or Wednesday with part 1 of Down South where the Water is Warm, which I am self-publishing independently of part 2.  Part 2 has all the fun stuff, horror and magical realism, but I think two books makes more sense.  I also got this braniac idea for the second cover using the same image; that way I won't have to agonize over how to design another cover.

I also finally found an artist to do the cover of my long short story "La Bruja del Barrio Loco," which I need to revise a few more times.  I have been researching that curandera genre some more. 

OK, it is 3:19a.m. and The Harvest beckons.    

Hug your android today.  #Resist.
