I’m sending this from my handheld.
So, ha.
Dang, I feel so Warren Ellis-ish.

Dear world,
I’m nipping part of this site design from that shameless comics curmudgeon, Warren Ellis. Not literally, mind you, because I don’t know style sheets, nor do I give a damn about them. But inspirationally.
I don’t think he’ll mind.
xo,

the craft: zero to fiction
The first installment of my Scryptic column, THE CRAFT, is up:
You may not know it yet, but I write all the time.
You probably don’t know this yet. That’s because I’m still fairly new to the fiction writing game. “Finding my levels,” as my partner would say. And that’s fine. You will, promise.
That fact begs a certain question: how does one go from zero fiction to fiction writer?
Hope you all like it. Feel free to give me feedback — I’m hoping that it’ll generate some discussion.
If you do like it, please spread the word, on your blog or on message boards or whereever.
Thanks!

A shopping mall developer has quietly snatched up property along Coney Island’s famed Boardwalk - sparking fears that beloved attractions could be replaced by a mall.
Thor Equities has bought property on W. 12th St., where a go-kart track stands, and along the Boardwalk where “Dunk the Creep,” a souvenir shop and a gyro stand reside.
The businesses were told to be out by the end of the summer, owners told the Daily News.
“We are looking for a new home,” said the manager of the gyro stand, who goes by the name Joey Clams. “Are they going to take us out and replace us with an Applebee’s or Olive Garden? Knishes, hot dogs, shish kebab - that’s what makes Coney Island.”
Other operators also are worried because their landlords have only offered short-term leases with sky-high rent hikes.
Shop owners and landowners said Kings County GOP Chairman Hy Singer, who owns several Coney Island properties, was negotiating with Thor to sell land whose tenants include Nathan’s on the Boardwalk and the venerable Ruby’s bar.
Singer refused to comment.
A Thor spokesman was tight-lipped about what the developer plans to build, but promised it would revive the area.
