Wowza, that is one good looking desk calendar. Once again I am honored and tickled to be a part of the Stephen King Desk Calendar, as I was last year. Getting to write a little essay about one of your favorite writers is always a kick-ass way to spend your time, and then getting a gorgeous calendar in the mail (which, of course, contains my name, which always excites me).
The theme of the calendar’s essays is The Stand, and my essay is entitled “The Stand: The Simple Genius
of Killing Off 99% of the World”. It begins:
“WRITING, as everyone knows, is a career fraught with danger and suffering.”
Mood: Excited.
