I sympathize with both you and Kitty Barbie (pictured).

Working on the new WIP today.

I got blisters on me fingers.

Kafka once wrote, “I am on the hunt for constructions.” Today, I’m on the hunt for typos. I could use some good copy editing vibes 😅

He's wizard like that, isn't he? You've been busy too, though. Future's Edge, Who Will You Save?, and the novelization of The Well all in one year. Plus Jitterbug's just around the corner and...you just sold another new novel, right? Bravo, for real.

You're very welcome, mate. Thank you. I came to contemp sci-fi late, after 20 yrs in poetry, and I've learned quite a lot from your prose. The only reason I've yet to read more is because Adrian keeps publishing brilliant, 500 page doorstops.

Thanks! There are indeed a few more on the reading list! For what it's worth, these books aren't just kicky. They're masterclasses in contemporary sci-fi storytelling. I use them for reference now.

I’m no Waterstones, but I’ve got a few on my shelf too! Can’t wait for Jitterbug.

Virgil brushed my shoulder and pointed ahead. I leveled my gaze. Heads kinked through the ice around the Devil’s clawed toenails, faces masked…

Yeah, I hear you on this. I’ve a character in my current WIP that speaks in slang—a hodgepodge of gutter English, Japanese, Spanish, French, and even outdated English, ken? I risk alienating the reader, but I’m doing it anyway. My guess is the writer’s room voted on the safe route.

The individual cannot bargain with the State. The State recognizes no coinage but power: and it issues the coins itself.

This is sharp work. 👍

You’re very welcome. You know, if you’re ever up for a beta read swap, please drop me a line!

#Sci-fi research. Like microwave background in vacuum.

Wow, that’s fascinating. Congrats, doc!

Sure. Former USAF pilot, Olivia West, suffers a VR time-loop glitch on a mission to Mars. She's rescued...a century later. The redacted mission dossier states that she survived in cryo, but in a future world of improbable things, nothing is at it seems. Not even her.

Just finished a sci-fi novel yesterday. Reading through for the first time today, doing light edits.

This made me cackle like a witch. Jackboot rubes.

Wow. That’s sleek. I’ve never seen the design before.

It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.

Same. What was your dissertation on, by the way?

Gareth, where can an average idiot like me vote for these, if at all possible? Future’s Edge was one helluva novel, and Who Will You Save? absolutely cooked.

The Platonic development of Socratism set the foundation for Western Civ, but also the Humanism that followed.

Sure, the ghouls are going after DEI here. But the big picture?

Said ghouls follow Dataism not Humanism. You’re information and nothing more.
