My Cage "Classic" 02/20/2010
Added 2023-08-19 12:52:48 +0000 UTCMel and I have a new project we're excited about...so, start the countdown until a similar project gets announced that will derail ours. :D
From my dog dying the night we signed the "My Cage" contracts, to our editor drowning a month before our debut, to most recently...the "Cute Force' fiasco, it's been a long, awful ride! :D You guys have been one of the few upsides to the swath of death and destruction that has been my writing career.
When was a time you had either such unbelievably bad luck or good luck that you, well, couldn't believe it?

2023-09-01 11:24:37 +0000 UTCJust last year. Finally getting my finances together. They my car is wrecked beyond repair by a hit-and-run driver. What I thought was Uninsured Motorist coverage on my insurance was actually just state minimum coverage for ME hitting SOMEONE ELSE. So no insurance coverage. And when my bank/lease holder finds out about this, they declare me in breach of contract and I now owe them the full amount outstanding. And then they drained my bank account to cover that sudden debt.

2023-08-20 11:35:42 +0000 UTCIn the 80s I was trying to move from Brooklyn into Manhattan. I checked out a really nice apartment - the building was a bit funky but the apartment was large, the price was right and the neighborhood was great. By the time I got back to the landlady someone else had grabbed the place. I was incredibly furious at myself...then two weeks later she called me: "Mr Strike, are you still looking for an apartment?" Forty years later I'm still here - wasn't my original plan, but thanx to rent stabilization and a NYC rent subsidy, I'm paying like a third of what most people in the building (and probably in most of NYC) are spending on rent. If I can be all new age-y here for a moment, looking forward to hearing about your new project and hope you hit a home run with it...but don't forget YOU are the achievement and we love you for what you share with us - which is yourself.
