Yeah, maybe! Something like a cool quote or scene I wrote?

I'm not sure what you mean by "character teasers". I have character dossiers from my outlining, but I don't know if that's the same thing?

It's hard to be motivated on longer #writing projects when I can't show people anything. I also won't be able to show anyone a finished work once I'm done, since I'm working on a backlog of comic scripts so I don't need to worry about my artist while I write other stuff.

How do you guys keep going?

Happy Hallowtide to everyone!

Some of my favorite reaction pics I took from the first chapter of The Last Voyage of the Faithful. Not all of these are up yet, but y'know. Gotta have some kind of backlog.

Honestly, the best part of releasing the first part of the comic is that I can finally post these.

Another project I'm in has released! Rook and Crow has been so much fun to work on so far, and I'm so excited to keep going. Check it out!

The obsession with "mythological accuracy" to classical sources is literally erasing millennia of cultural history.

Greek mythology and Roman mythology are parts of our folklore tradition. We should feel comfortable talking about them as such!

I've hit a part of my outlining that I just don't want to do. I wish being a writer were just the parts I like.

Cumulonimbus

I don't think I can write short stories anymore. People don't read them, and maybe that's a problem on my part, but I think they just aren't popular. I write to communicate, and I'm not communicating.

Maybe I'll swap my short fiction to audio instead and release an anthology podcast.

Unfortunately, I'm going to cancel "The Last Great Fairy Kingdom". It was a good idea, a fun idea, but my time is limited since getting married, and I want to be sure I'm only putting out good quality work. For those of you who enjoyed that, stay tuned! I'll have more poetry to share soon.

Hopping back on to announce that a podcast I'm in has begun releasing! Go check out "The Henchman's Journal" (@thjpod.bsky.social) wherever you get your podcasts!

a place I’m happy.
A harsh beep,
and I’m back at home.

Headphones go on. Strings
melodies

It isn’t enough.
Idle thoughts
reeling through my head.

I stare at my food
spin ‘round. Lose
myself in the noise.

I hope other people like "The Last Great Fairy Kingdom", but to be honest, I'm doing it because it pleases me. I think it's important to take some time and write things where I'm not concerned how others will see it.

Maybe it's not my strongest showing, but I don't mind.

I may fall. The thought
of falling
as a child lingers.

Woke up at 2:30 AM and actually wrote the scene list for my next short story. Thought I was over being sick. Cleaned, started laundry, did some yard work.

Now I have a crippling headache and a persistent aching to nurse. I guess it was mainly the painkillers I took when I woke up at 2:30. Who knew.

The carpeted stairs
are too steep
and I still worry

I push myself off

We got a lot more responses than I was expecting, to be fully honest! I've been going through them, but I also wanted to make sure that Chapter One could be done before we reached out to anyone, so that was a big goal last week. I'm not sure when we'll reach out, but I promise we haven't forgotten!

How to Cheat Death You’re going to die one day. Maybe it’ll be your fault, maybe it won’t. It’s not important. What’s important is this: do you want to keep on living? We’ll assume you answered “yes,” and it’s our…

I wanted to bring up my story "How to Cheat Death (and Get Away With It)". I finished it last year, but it's still one of the works I'm most proud of. I had a great time experimenting with the bouncy "how-to" style, at least!

I wish people would start being kinder to Narcissus. He genuinely didn't do a single thing wrong. The child's only "crime" was panicking a little when he was molested or harassed.

Honestly, he was far more composed than I would have been back when I was 16.
