So excited for my friend's upcoming book release! If you dig sci-fi with horror dustings, complex characters, watching a protag figure out new (and very rad) abilities, I can't rec Wraith enough.

I loved alpha reading for this story, and I can't wait to get my copy so I can read it again

Three days into 2025, and I have my album of the year. I've never heard anything like this before in my life.

If you like heavy music, you're welcome

You may try to escape the holiday family group text, to silence their notifications, but they will not relent until you gaze upon the 240p Facebook meme, until you reply with a crying-laughing emoji. Resistance is futile.

6k new words this week with an untallied amount of edits. I've progressed from 'this might be shit' to 'this is kinda sorta starting to read like an actual book'. Which is nice

Iโ€™m finding the community here far more engaging and respectful, while still wickedly funny. Happy to be migrating to these friendlier skies.

I have no clue why it took me so long to pick up The First Law series, but boy howdy, I am glad I finally did. I'm a little over halfway through The Blade Itself now and picking up steam. So exciting to have a big backlog of books in this universe to sink my teeth into

1.7k new words today! After a harrowing start to November, it might as well be 20k as far as I'm concerned

Now to reward myself with Sorry We're Closed

Stories where the focus is on the protag growing in power, usually measured by ranks, grades, etc. I'd say minus litrpg stat blocks and numbers, but I think litrpg technically falls under progression fantasy, too? I personally view PF as number go up but without actual numbers

Has anyone tried out Proton Drive/Docs? I'd like to ditch Google Drive eventually. Google says they don't train their AI on private gdocs, but who knows what the future holds.

After taking a breath of fresh air on BlueSky, I'm trying to ditch as many user toxic platforms as possible

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

If you like indie survival horror games, do yourself a favor and pick up Sorry, We're Closed on Steam immediately.

The writing, the art, the VIBESSS. Easily in my top three favorite games I've played this year.

I feel that! It is a bit of a double-edged sword. I tend to use it as a kick in the butt if my productivity is flagging around November, but sometimes it does backfire lol.

If I didn't have a submission deadline coming up, I'd have skipped out this year most likely

Nicely done! I had a good 8k start on rewrites before my country decided against democracy, but I'm up 600 words today and shaking off the rust!
