1) More women should write sword & sorcery.

Please, for the love of Crom, save us from the men's rights douchebros that try to turn hardboiled fantasy into some testosterone-driven epic of macho bullshit.

Wait, Bond died in the last movie? I couldn’t make it to the end. That feels like a real bad decision by the writers.

I just released my "Brief Guide to Writing Short Fiction." It's a solid guide to writing short stories and more; and has a special focus on Sword and Sorcery stories.

It costs $10, which, as a set of instructions to write stories you can sell, is rather inexpensive.

Like and share. That helps!

I’m dating myself here, but I’m irrationally irked that the accepted abbreviation of Dungeons & Dragons has changed from D&D to DnD, to the extent that Google will say β€œdid you mean dnd?”

Did the shift happen because you can’t use an ampersand in a URL?

I just want to put this out into the universe.

If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.
