Yeah it’s terrifying how young people are starting to get colon cancer these days. They're lowering the age for screenings nowadays from what I’ve seen

…rabbit hole. But the urge is great sometimes. That series will always hold a special place in my heart, but, inevitably, I think I have to leave it be to continue to grow as a writer.

Side note: Its going to be hilarious to see people’s reactions to Roger Summers vs Michael Kingman tho

…go back and tweak my debut series. A Reloaded/Royal/Author’s Preferred Text version where I clean up some things. Fix a regret or two.

But I’m left wondering, if I did that, when would I stop? Would I tweak it again at 40 if my style changes again? 50?

It just seems like an endless…

As I finish up edits for my next book, it’s kind of alarming to see how much my style has changed since I wrote the Kingdom of Liars in my early 20s.

I genuinely don’t think you could tell they were written by the same person.

And there’s a part of me that can’t help but want to…

I’ve just come up perhaps the stupidest and silliest thing to include in my latest novelβ€”odds are the idea dies on the vine or with a stern β€˜No’—but if it doesn’t it’s going TO BE SO COOL

Man days like this are why I love writing

Disco Elysium is incredible, might have been my game of year for 2019 too, but man when I finally played Outer Wilds years later I think it might’ve overtaken it

See the Solaris giveaway below to win a signed & illustrated copy of the Immeasurable Heaven. I’ve drawn as many characters and creatures from the galaxy of Yokkun’s Depth as I can fit inside, plus one or two Easter eggs for good measure..

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Something in dev edits that should’ve taken 30 minutes to fix suddenly became a much bigger problem that I don’t have an immediate answer forβ€”which is great I found it nowβ€”but c’monnnn

I genuinely have never understood why people wants to be writers if they hate the act of writing.

Like yeah it’s cool to have a book done and have people read it, then talk about it to you, but I LOVE to write. To get better at the craft, to try out new things, to create stupidly.
