Judging by the hate mail I just got, the afterword in my book has successfully pissed off at least one person in the "Rule Britannia, by Jingo!" crowd.

I tried writing in a dot grid notebook for a week instead of my usual lined notebooks.

Never again.

I have 6 1/2 pages of notes in an A5 journal about the calendar system. Serious math time. But really, Milo could have done this himself if he thought of an original cosmology.

Hint: I moved Gardian to my OG Ringworld setting for this rewrite, because a regular planet is too confining.

If he solicited funds for a non-existent service dog, he’s not coming back any time soon. It’ll be slammer time.

I’m pretty sure indecent exposure is not what Burger King means when they say “Have it your way.”

Welcome to the Churn: Generative AI, what it can do, and what it can’t, and how you can fight back. You’ve seen it, haven’t you? Fantasy books that are chasing the next ACOTAR high, cookie-cutter vaguely-medievalish settings that have the depth of vermeil over cheap steel, where the d…

If you're worried about AI replacing you as an author, have you possibly considered the genre you're writing in is too easy to replicate by AI? Read this. durocsdeskdrawer.ink/2025/06/29/w...

The Age of Scorpius Preliminary Autopsy Report, Personal Writing Projects, and Other Stuff Going on in the Life of a Napoleonic Cryptid I swear, officer -- I didn't see a thing! The tree just jumped out of nowhere and hit him! "Was" -- note the past tense I was at work when I got the notification from a mutual on Tumblr this had happened. The World of Guardian and The Age of Scorpius is finally kaput. Fin. RIP 20 February 2026. Not even pining for the fjords of Norway.

New gadget I acquired. It’s the XTEink 4 e-reader. Only slightly longer than a credit card. Doesn’t have its own backlight, but I can read anywhere because it fits in a pocket easy. Best thing ever.

View all responses I decided to pull the trigger and go for an official diagnosis of autism. It'll be expensive, but it's not the first time I've had to drop a large amount of cash on something that is absolutely necessary. I've been under a lot of stress lately, mostly related to work.

Of course, I have five other WIPs to work on. Of course, I started a new one.

If your cover has a woman's back on it, I'm not interested. If your cover has a man who thinks he's a blockbuster action hero, I'm not interested.

I've been learning to write with a dip pen, simulating what my Napoleonic OCs do. I think I might have accidentally tattooed myself.

When you really want to get into a manga because reasons, but the art is SO bad its like being stabbed in the eyes repeatedly. I swear this artist does not know the anatomical differences between teenagers, eight year-olds, and toddlers -- and somehow they expect me to find it cute. It's not.

If you think your handwriting is bad, at least no one's mistaken it for a map of Italy yet.

All I noticed was the extremely tight hot pants abruptly crossing my screen. Was there supposed to be something else? *confused*
