There have apparently been changes, but I don't know the details. I have unfortunately not kept up.

You do realize that any time anyone says the words "It's 2 AM" to me, my brain immediately flips to Golden Earring's 80s classic banger "Twilight Zone", yes?

Tonight I got to explain to a friend that, yes, Neo-otyughs are a thing.

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".

Note to folks sending cold-call emails about how I should hire them to work on cool projects at Romero Games RIGHT NOW, this is an excellent way of getting yourself on my "Never work with these people because they are sloppy" list.

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.

Big Announcement #1:

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?" :-)

โ€œLit on fireโ€, you mean?

There 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.

The Republican candidate for Senate in North Carolina is the answer to the question "What if Jabba the Hutt's nephew woke up one morning and decided he really wanted to be a mime."

Apologies to all you mimes out there.

August Story of the Month | Flash Phantoms "Words in Steam: A Horror Story" written by Richard Dansky.

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!

Going to be some announcements of some kinda big things coming up later this week.

It's all good stuff.

You have been warned.

Stay tuned...

So my flight into Charlotte was lateโ€ฆbut my flight out of Charlotte was late, too! Clearly the travel curse outsmarted itself.

Anyway, home now and so is my luggage. Seriously considering a nap.

This plane is offloading in geologic time.

Letโ€™s just say Ellen has nothing to worry about.

At least itโ€™s not TRCsโ€ฆ.

Never was a fan of those newfangled TSA LARPs.

Sentences I was not anticipating ever having to type:

โ€œI 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. Donโ€™t care โ€˜cos I got to hold Ray Bradburyโ€™s Emmy for The Halloween Tree last night.

Gearing up for my last real day of GenCon - I fly out early tomorrow. But in the meantime, this happened last night.

(โ€œDonโ€™t Point That At My Planetโ€. If you know, you know.)

This is why writers should not be left unsupervised at GenConโ€ฆ.

There have been times lately when I would have been OK with being murdered. Or botted. Or something.

Pretty sure my GenCon hotel room is in fact a giant waffle iron.

It has become increasingly clear to me that the thing I most look forward to at GenCon is the lethally delicious five cheese grilled cheese sandwich available in the Marriott lobby.

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 Iโ€™ve seen every possible way to get screwed while traveling, the universe says โ€œHold my beerโ€.
