Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.
This is how it's done.

28.01.2026 21:35 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Morkeleb was my first thought, though I confess that is in part because of Michael Whelan's incredible art for him.
Smaug of course for his speech about his attributes.
My weird pick is Mayland Long from _Tea with the Black Dragon_.
And my runner up is Hestaby from the Shadowrun-verse.
I have never before had a player be quite so excited about his character's brains being consumed by an abomination. #D&D #planescape

Seanan McGuire said "The Imaginary Corpse is one of the best detective noir stories I've read in a long time. It just happens to be about a plush triceratops whose best friends are a disembodied hand and a four-color superheroine."

I was trying to post "Little Earthquakes" by Tori Amos.
Album cover to Tori Amos's "Little Earthquakes".
Trying a fourth time. Three times now the image didn't properly upload. Let's just try linking to the image.
post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

It is literally the only christmas song that I can tolerate (though I am opposed to versions with lyrics. Just ring some bells!).

09.12.2025 16:36 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Just that many, many people think the phrase is "chomping at the bit". Amusingly, I had just used the phrase today, I think also in regards to the vaccine!
My first covid shot and later 1st booster absolutely destroyed me, but in general other vaccines also are mild to me. Here's hoping!
I got my first dose today, and had been so looking forward to it. So far, side effects aren't too bad, but it's only been 4 hours. Also, bonus points for correct "champing".

Me, being able to get this was the best thing about turning 50.
Big same, actually. Never once watched it, but that goddamn song, man...
