Just found out the next WorldCon is in LA (ish) and now I’m really wanting to go.

Wonder if it’s worth it?

Today I might close the tab in my browser for the artist I commissioned a piece from and then never received. This was 3 years ago. Eventually got ghosted and I’m afraid to contact them after so long, as I feel it’s my fault at this point.

Idk, maybe I’ll leave it there a little longer. 🫣😅

Been submitting over the past week and shoutout to PodCastle for making me laugh with their hard no on selfie stories. Instant love for their beleaguered editors.

Anyone have a lead on calls where a weird west story might find a home?

The only good part of funerals is hanging out with the same age cousins I haven’t seen in a while and getting up to the same trouble we used to.

Funeral today but did get to see cousins, which was good. Might get to see the semi famous uncle if he’s doing well.

Yeah I do that a lot. I have no problem organizing base storage in video games but I refuse to clean out the shed.

I should color code my tools, though I’ll probably end up doing it with colored duct tape. I have a personalized tool box that no longer has any tools.

Big sigh for the waste, but after having fought something that was at least $60 million expensive this summer I’m not surprised.

Woo! Encouraging writing news this morning! Also have been doing some actual adulting so look at me go!

I’m about 1200 words into two new stories from Crumbleglen! Between that and fun rendition of Legend of Sleepy Hollow, this weekend (and the fall!) are starting out right.

Got some reassuring (to me!) news about my writing today! That means I don’t feel so in limbo and can kick my butt in regards to writing again.

Currently working on the extended world from Dragonsmith. Planning on including the original in a collection of shorts centered around the inhabitants of Crumbleglen.

An in-game render of Ozzy Osbourne, with the logo for Brutal Legend and text that reads, "Free for the next 666 minutes" and the itch.io logo in the bottom right corner

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...

Normally at this time of year I’d be ordering stickers and planner supplies, but with AB 84 on the horizon and passing committees, I just can’t.

I remember vividly when a photographer retouched my 8th grade graduation photos in front of me. I was excited to see zits disappearing, but he focused on freckles. When he got rid of the one little freckle on my lip, I had to step away. My mom realized and made him put them back.

A graphic with the hardcover artwork for Ella Dawson's debut novel But How Are You, Really, and trope bubbles branching off of it that read, "survivor trauma and healing," "bisexual heroine," "queer chosen family," "shower stall shenanigans," "second chance romance," "there's only one bed," "burned out millennial," "college reunion setting."

I'm gonna be real transparent and tell y'all that I am 50 copies away from having sold 2,000 copies of my debut novel!!

My sales have been pretty disappointing and I'd love your help hitting this milestone so I can look my team in eyes and hopefully write more books. sites.prh.com/but-how-are-...

If you think he’s told you before but are embarrassed to ask, this is my trick. I say, “Remind me, what’s your name again?” And when they say Tim or whatever, you laugh and say “Oh, no, sorry, you LAST name.” And they laugh and don’t think you’ve forgotten their name.

My SIL now says “ask ChatGPT” instead of google it and I nearly lost it today.

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to hearing, regardless of rejection or not. The anthology is going to be amazing, I know!

I feel like I’m stumbling into a hyper competent phase and I don’t like it.

Some slightly bummer new from the tribe- they need a LOT more documentation than I currently have, and the process takes longer than I was originally told. 4-6 months at least, and my case is complicated.

Please remember that even though a lot of the western US is desert- it’s not like the Sahara. It can still burn and you should still prepare.

I really need people to understand how this works and why giving your info to politicians is always a bad idea. There's nothing ethical about the way they do this, as there is no way for it to ever stop.
