Have y’all checked in on Dean Koontz’s bowl cut lately?

Helloooo, my beautiful paid subs!

Week two at Interview magazine is officially complete and everything remains as fabulous as ever. I led my first official web meeting this week and I can’t believe the number of deeply wild ideas I pitched that were immediately understood and greenlit. It’s exciting to feel heard and like I’m making effective change. It feels like the website is about to come out the other side of one of those movie makeover montages, suddenly hot and popular because it took off its glasses. Also, Messketeers have already started pitching me and the pitches are GOOD! How cool is that! I shouldn’t be surprised, of course, anyone who reads the 3,000 word brain dumps I do here every week should have a profound and intimate understanding of the type of weirdo shit I like.
