I definitely think you should wash your cybertruck with saltwater and lemon juice.

googled diagrams of the arrangement of human teeth and Dromberg Stone circle. Side by side they reveal similarities too spooky to set aside.  

(they're a small resemblance, enough here for a creepy episode of Doctor Who)

Something @regretteruane.bsky.social said made me do a quick image search , and yes, there's a clear* correlation between the arrangement of human teeth and prehistoric stone circles (we even cap both stones and teeth). We need to start thinking of stone circles as ancient mouths.

I've been told that projecting confidence helps sell books, but unfortunately I have the personality of a bowl of raw cocaine, and it doesn't seem true. I'm very sad, buy my books.

It would be fair to say at the midpoint in the year that I'm more than a little off track.
Screenplays got paused, though one is being repurposed into a novella
MG is stalled
No new publications lined up
But
I did complete one project unexpectedly though!

Review: The Path of Fire andΒ Glory If all metal music became a story, it would be Joel Glover’s THE PATH OF FIRE AND GLORY. I couldn’t get DragonForce’s β€œThrough the Fire and Flames” out of my head while reading this. Glover's novella definitely lives up to its grimdark promise, containing countless descriptions of brutal and flashy gore. I picked up the ARC for this book without having read THE PATH OF PAIN AND RUIN and PATH TO EMPIRES’ END.

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

The reason there's no working class representation in publishing is because publishing and writing currently pay so badly only people who are already financially stable can afford to do it.
The problem is always, always money.

That's so nice! The collection "The Littlest Kingdom" has the first three stories in, "Return to The Littlest Kingdom" has three in and "Tales from..." collects the first three and has a bonus three.

There are three on YouTube if he's enjoying my silly voice, as well as the three on Audible

Steph Swainston is an extraordinary talent. Her Castle novels are both elegant and hugely original, full of wonders and terrors in equal measure and peopled by a cast of immortals unable to escape their humanity. Oh, and teeming swarms of huge ravening insects.

The interesting thing about being a writer is I can imagine a world where this doesn't win.
But
I just can't imagine being talented enough to write it in the first place.
