I'm grateful I'm moving to the postapocalypse time in my stories. It's much more fun to write about how people are moving forward than having to detail the backward movement of this current timeline.

I ended up creating a website to hold my writing. Mainly because I write interconnected short stories and it was the only way to create any sort of coherency. Each story is stand-alone but part of larger arc.

I'm excited to announce my 8th story has been posted today, and I'd love some feedback on it. 🧵

Dark Brandon was really fun to write. It's the beginning of the true split of the alternate universe from our own.

The Nudge Stories range in time from now to far in the future; they explore the nudges, both overt and covert, moving humanity forward in a way where everyone is considered of equal worth and value and everyone is treated equitably.

What path will you take?

The afterward Inflection Point, while short, holds tantalizing clues for the future of the Habitats.

I'd love some feedback on these stories and if you enjoy them, please share.

The introduction: "1 2 3 4 We declare a memetic war", has Alexandra explaining to Brandon how his name came to be through the battle of the Brandons.

There's the mystery of what happened earlier in the day when the Pharos Project actually happened, and this story deals with some of the fallout.

And while we don't know everything, the conversation between Biden and Alexandra Hanlon gives us some clues.

To make it easier, each interview and video transcript is its own file to keep continuity. Now I'm almost ready to pull everything into one complete story.

Wish me luck!

Nudge Stories – Stories of the Foundation, Habitats, and the Future of Humanity

I got to write a witchy one yesterday, and I really enjoyed it.

Today I'm starting a third edit on a complex story. Since I struggle to write, I tend to write in whatever way it will come out. In this case a transcription of a documentary.

I use commentary (introductions and afterwards) to allow my major characters reflections and explanations. They don't need to be read, to enjoy the story, but they enhance the overall arc of the total universe.

Good morning #WriteSky!

Yesterday was a good writing day, I moved a story from first to second draft.

More dialogue, more descriptions and I got to add a whole new commentary on something I've been wanting to expand on.

A randomly generated map in beige, black, and white colors. It has a label of 'Kingdom of Everbloom', with a large lake in the center with a compass rose, and several randomly generated cities, towns, and villages that are also randomly names. This is generated with watabou's procgen arcana.

A helpful tool for the #WritingCommunity especially for #FantasyWriters.

Watabou's procgen arcana! You can randomly generator realms, dungeons, and more! I'm attaching a realm I just generated that is unrelated to my current WIP.

In the future, I'll have to carefully vet the information on any .gov website before I link to it, and that's a damn shame.

Adding another link specifically versioned as archived might help those coming to my site in the future understand what is happening rather than sane-washing everything happening by replacing it.

I'll be linking the web-archive links along with the originals just in case they disappear. I'd rather people know if our gov takes down pub-med articles on essential workers and covid, the impacts of political disinformation, and the mechanisms of aggressive behavior.

I just went through all my stories, (published and in progress) and made sure any of my references are also in the web archive project. I'm going to add both to my end notes, because, just in case.

Every page I reference in my published materials is archived. 😮‍💨

I link to a lot in my stories, links to my glossary and also end notes justifying and linking to more information when a reference to a subject just doesn't do it justice.

If anyone else does this and uses US govt websites, you might want to go through your links.

My stories are all out of order and I'll write whatever's in my head, since it's the only way to get it out.

Because everything gets written in drips, I revisit each story after it sits to keep layering on.

I wish I were a more natural writer.

My website handles the connections

Hiring learners 👍 vs hiring to learn 👎 UX teams are optimizing themselves into being bad at UX.

In this issue: the only thing worse than building-to-learn is hiring-to-learn.

Hiring for conformity results in terrible UX design, and you can't AI your way out of it - but between the war on DEI and austerity thinking, tech companies are doing exactly that.

This particular story is set at a Beltane festival, and it seems appropriate to release it in May. Unfortunately, I'll never get it through the process in time for this year, so I'll be scheduling it for 2026. But that's okay; it will only get better as I refine it.
