I'm kind of half here. Find me at paddy.carvers.com or mastodon.cloud/@paddy. Hopefully more the former than the latter, over time. Mostly here to follow, not to post.

Chatted with me and a bunch of other people interested in writing. Gave me a Word doc with the text of Am I Blue? to share with people. And Full Cast Audio is really cool!

But yeah, Asciidoc is so much nicer and feels more thought-through
I wish Asciidoc(tor) footnotes were implemented better, support for outputting multiple pages was better, that Asciidoctor wasn't the elephant in the room and non-standard, and that editors actually existed, tho

I'm absolving myself of having to think about AI anymore. And I finally wrote about it somewhere durable to free myself from feeling like I need to keep reiterating my position.

I don't think I've said it yet so I'll say it now: I really enjoyed Long Live Evil and am glad you wrote it, it's a Very Good Book

Why is the first book free on Google Play? ๐คฏ
I will personally send you a gift card to Powell's for the exact price of In Other Lands if you'll read it, everyone should read it, it's an excellent sword gays book.

I wrote a letter to the PO box, but I imagine you're busy and don't check it too frequently. Excited to hear you're exploring doing more with your blog, though! I love blogs.
