Disco Elysium time.

1,146 road-trip miles gobbled up by wonderful audiobooks: “Starter Villain” by @scalzi.com and “Every Heart a Doorway” by @seananmcguire.bsky.social.

I spent the week carving a Halloween story that refused to come alive — rewrite, nope, repeat. By midnight it was still a monstrosity. No story yesterday but I’m set for next year.

There's nothing spookier at Halloween than to sit around the fire with a group of good friends and tell each other ghost stories. Especially when you remember you haven't got a fire, or any friends.

That was some party.

May you reap all the candy like my grim son.

Janie and The Gray: Part 1 Janie's story. The first double-drabble installment of my dystopian sci-fi serial.

Recording short stories with my partner in crime. She’s a kickass Janie.

Hey writers, use your embodied cognitiontizer with caution.

When I read the word “feeling” I feel something.

Ahh! I thought NaNo was NoMo. NoNo. Missed the memo. Thrilled it still exists.

Brilliant. Definitely going to try this — despite my total lack of swankiness.

A funny blast from the past. My high school girlfriend and I saw it in the theater when it came out.

So say we all.

A case of the Mondays.

My plans for a full Sunday LoTR marathon were scorched like the Shire in the Mirror of Galadriel.

Loved this: “After multiple failed attempts at world domination, Lorna created a fantasy world where she reigns supreme!”

Just read chapter 1. Great stuff. Love the vertical-scroll format.

C#lap!

Second. My 8yo son has the movie on repeat. He hasn’t asked about books yet — but if they existed he would undoubtedly ask me 37 times a day to buy them.

For Frodo!

It was October the 23rd when a stray thought glanced harmlessly off my beardy grape: “Binge LOTR.” I hereby accept your post as confirmation that the Universe wants me to spend my *checks calendar* Sunday in Middle Earth.

Finishing a story: a great feeling. Finishing a story and scheduling it to be automagically published while you sleep: bliss.

Late-night snack turned near-death experience — a dry Frosted Mini-Wheats pillow (brick? biscuit? hay bale?) exploded in my mouth, shooting wheat shards like tiny pencils down my windpipe.

Beautiful shot.

Last night, I started "The Lies of Locke Lamora" by @scottlynch78.bsky.social. There was some heft to the prologue and I enjoyed it immensely. Eager to continue!

“Trick or Treat!”
“Sure. Wait here.”
