Friendly Gym Etiquette Reminder:

Please re-rack your weights, take your bottles and bags with you to the next station, and do not sing to yourself in a silent gym louder than other people's headphones.

Thank you.

Okay, grape green tea has been acquired.

Me, a fool, thinking we'd have a playtest build ready before I have to do overtime tonight only to find another Need to Fix.

Ahhh, we are approaching the "Get this shit out of my eyes" portion of the new manuscript.

Must be ready for an editor soon.

I've been very fortunate to have the opportunities and support that have come my way in my career - if it can be called that at this point. I hope that I am doing well-enough to earn that, and have provided entertainment, joy, and some small amount of inspiration for others to create and write.

My 2nd short is available from The Black Library in the "Death and Duty" anthology! I am super grateful and thankful for this opportunity!

This is available for e-readers and audiobooks! The paperbacks are all sold out online so you'll have to hunt for them in stores if you wanna grab one!

Stuff always seems to blow up at work when the team that helps me steps out for the day and I'm left to handle things by myself.

This is not a knock on them, they should leave when they've done their 8, I jus wish things wouldn't blow up on me when I'm alone lol

One of the hardest things about having a writing deadline is it prevents me from sitting down and READING a lot because I need to spend the time I have sitting down on working.

That's what I love about audiobooks. I can listen to something while I do my morning workouts.

Boy, you ever just talk out a story beat for something with another person and realize "Man, I have to re-write that whole fucking thing?"

In this TedTalk, I'll explain why...

I thought Helioscope's etsy store was completely sold out of the Jimmy Olsen paperback, but I just found 3 copies behind some other stuff. Looking for a great holiday gift? These go out signed & sketched, and I'll sign them to the recipient if you'd like. helioscopepdx.etsy.com/listing/1771...
