And the world is a better place for it.
Picked up some Dream Theater CDs for writing music for my current WIP. Asked a lot of friends for recommendations. Got lots of different answers for recommendations, but they all closed with "Just not The Astonishing".

I know, but the editor may not, and either way, my experience is they're going to sit on the manuscript for a year anyway.

Tomorrow, my brand spanking new Patreon will go live!
There will be nonsense. There will be Sasquatch stuff. There will be game dev secrets revealed. There will be fiction for the particularly foolhardy.
Check it out!
Finally heard a Morgan Wallen song today.
Mildly boggled.
His vocals come across like "What if Stan Ridgway just didn't give a fuck?" And I love love love me some Stan Ridgway, but...
I have a vision of an editor reading the first page of my Wraith-themed LitRPG novel and saying "What the actual fuck is this?" :-)

05.08.2025 12:48 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0There are times when I think I should write a LitRPG novel.
Then I think about my actual work in the RPG field and realize that this would be a very bad idea.
I regret nothing.

Apologies to all you mimes out there.
Happy to share that my deeply fucked up little flash piece "Words In Steam (A Love Story)" is now live over at Flash Phantoms, and moreover, it is their story of the month!

It's all good stuff.
You have been warned.

Anyway, home now and so is my luggage. Seriously considering a nap.
This plane is offloading in geologic time.

โI just got a random buttocks and groin patdown in Indianapolis.โ
Headed to the airport to journey home from GenCon. Tired. Anticipating more travel nonsense. Donโt care โcos I got to hold Ray Bradburyโs Emmy for The Halloween Tree last night.

This is why writers should not be left unsupervised at GenConโฆ.

I am not proud.
But I do like cheese.
Have landed safely in Indianapolis. My bag, however, is apparently still at RDU.
Just when I think Iโve seen every possible way to get screwed while traveling, the universe says โHold my beerโ.
