Thanks, Sam! Progress has been pretty sporadic, but I'm hoping to buckle down and hit at least 1k words a day (not going to shame myself if that doesn't happen, though).

Sounds amazing.

Added just over 1,200 words to the horror collab today. That's my daily writing goal wrapped. If I can fit more time in later, I'm hoping to start on the sequel to ADTR.

@willelm.bsky.social chapter 6 is all due to your feedback :)

Lots in this one.

My thoughts around my current magick dip and how my “seeking” is perpetuating the problem, but how not seeking only reveals the longing in a deeper way.

New ADTR will drop in 2 hours. It's a 2-chapter release this time, too. Beta readers might notice some differences.

The logical endpoint of prosperity gospel is devaluing less fortunate people as simply getting their just dessert from god.

Regarding authors using GenAI content in their posts, I saw someone ask: how can I respectfully direct someone away from doing so? Which resources can I point them toward?

I'm far from an expert, but I've got the basic outline here. Authors, we want to support you (ethically)!

Nice Coordinated Outfit, by High Pass Filter 17 track album

It's #Bandcamp Friday, so all profits from sales go to the artist. And you can get a couple of nice phat slabs of #vinyl in the bargain. #hpf

Done.

Faceless (Rakka's thieves' guild) got started. There's probably 20k words there. Again, a lot has been retconned, but the heart of the story still stands. I'll spend some time getting that in shape, and then The Kindness of Strangers will join the lore collection.

I think the bones are good enough to save. Might make a good addition to the related short stories collection once I do some editing and finally finish the thing. A murder mystery set in the city of Rakka.

I also found an abandoned short story that I started that details how the ---

One of the pros/cons of working on a story for many, many years is that there's a lot of false starts and sidetracks. Combing through forgotten material for ADTR this morning and found the story of Sheriff Merrick DeVries at...18k words. A lot of the details have been retconned but ---

Sen. Josh Hawley wants to exclude ‘Biden voters’ from $600 Trump tariff rebate checks ‘The rich people don’t need it ... all those Democrat donors of Wall Street, all these hedge fund guys, who all hate the tariffs,’ Republican lawmaker tells Steve Bannon

Joe Biden was not on the ballot, you flaccid spatula. No one voted for him. 🙄

Amazing how “some” followers don’t like your posts but if you repost others work they like every repost U posted.

Here’s the thing.
I can see you …
you know that right ?
And it’s insulting.

So have the decency to at least pay lip service to my posts while you’re busy farming for followers

Right? 😆

Funny. Someone's doing just that with my reposts right now, lol. Folks are weird.

Four panel comic, where two people are talking to each other: -Panel 1- Person 1: It is quite widely known that vaccines cause-- Person 2: Shh. They might hear you. -Panel 2- Person 1: Who might hear-- Person 2: Shh! Look, up there in the sky. Who knows what horrors lie waiting in the endless abyss. -Panel 3- They both just stand there -Panel 4- Person 2: Best we speak of this no further.

Bored at work again, so I did another comic! 😁

(I really hope one of you isn't secretly my boss 😅)

Awesome! You can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 🤘

What in the actual hell?

No means NO mister !
And yes that’s what koalas sound like the males even deeper voiced.
So if you’re ever walking in the bush at night and hear that noise then you know it’s not a monster it’s a hormonal koala 🐨

Chapter 4 A Dread Tide Rising, by Walt Shuler

Your midweek reminder that Chapter 4 of ADTR is up if you're following along. New to the book? There's a link to the first chapter at the top of the post.

That sucks man. Glad you're able to give yourself some grace. Dealing with a little of that here, too, but I think the fog is starting to lift a little.

Chapter 4 A Dread Tide Rising, by Walt Shuler

Your afternoon reminder that Chapter 4 dropped this morning.
waltshuler.substack.com/p/chapter-4?...

In other news, my co-writer and I are about 8k words into book 3 of our horror collaboration. Moving along pretty fast, which is good. Nice to see light at the end of the tunnel with this particular project.

So much this: if you want to see change, it has to start with the people. That's one of the big takeaways from the last Agrarian Futures podcast episodes with Will Harris (www.agrarianfuturespod.com/episodes/int...). Don't wait for corporations. Don't wait for govt agencies. It's on us.
