The Sound of the Crowd

A word from the wise

“The question becomes, why snakes? It could be that Lovecraft already had dibs on the tentacles…you can only use so many giant spiders before your readers start to say, “Now just a cotton-pickin’ minute here, Sparky.”

…and other words of wisdom from the (relatively) brand-spankin’-new LiveJournal of a good friend of mine, Stefon Mears. Stefon is one of the smartest people I know, and it’s almost always worth reading his thoughts on any subject.

And this is the LiveJournal of his wife Melissa, a lovely and fine person in her own right.
