i'm spending the day with the new guy tomorrow and we have rocketed through several levels of gay intimacy all at once: he gave me the gate code to his apartment complex .

I was going to say no but then I realized that Tilii, my autistic-coded elf mage was originally created as my autistic BFF's d&d character from our first campaign, and though they have diverged a lot there is a lot of Nick in Tilii.

If you’re exhausted and trying to “push through,” congratulations, you’re now pushing through sand.
Take the break.
You can’t out-hustle a body that’s staging a coup.

the entire A plot of this book is about rescuing a halfling village's children who have been abducted and enslaved. so, yes!

Plan to write two complete books, The Radiant Tomb, which will be around 120,000 words and The Paradox Matrix which will be around 160,000. Starting off the year a little behind because I got sick but I should easily complete these two if I can stick to something like my normal pace.

Kit's name is actually Kitrin. but that's really the only thing like this in The Radiant Tomb

my congressman died recently and I am actually represented better now that he's gone (and still hasn't been replaced) he was an anti LGBT MAGA bigot who wanted to take away my health care. I'll speak Ill of the dead if they were an utter peace of shit I hope he's in hell.

Getting ready to start my writing week. I've made pretty good progress so far this month despite being sick for a week and a half.

It's already pretty egalitarian (though imperfect) which is part of what makes it worth saving and defending when the assholes with power want to remake it in their own terrible image.

ha ha ha they'd try hard and mean well but they are mostly disaster gays and absolutely not qualified. and none of them would seek it out in the first place.

That the fantasy peoples mostly live in peace and that feels bad to the people who want to control it, and that the main continent is set in a southern hemisphere so the north is warm and humid and the south is cold and dry.

We love the idea of fresh starts, but most change actually happens like the seasons: slowly, inconveniently, and whether you feel ready or not. Growth still counts.

Beginning to write book 2 of the Circle and the Shadow series and I'm like 'lets check in with our friends oh shit they're not doing well.'

I don't relegate the goofiness to the side characters. Kit, the nominal protagonist, can be described as a 'Disaster Lesbian Halfling Thief.'

to balance this i have a brutal, ruthless chaos demigod in the form of a five year old human child. I'm like an Onion! I have Layers!

was going to make a post about loving the physical object if this book with the new cover and that's still true but I realized I made a typo on the spine and left the s off wings. oops..better fire my proofreader (who is me). it's already fixed, which is the good thing about doing everything myself.

opened my laptop and was immediately greeted with a 'your windows update is complete' jumpscare and I'm like 'dear God what have you people done now?'

ok so the #StrangerThings finale for me was fine. it was everything I personally needed for closure on that story Were there plot holes? probably. But they landed the plane well, I thought, though i know there is controversy. purposeful bittersweet ambiguity is a valid creative choice.

not sure exactly what this question is asking but in the circle and the shadow series a dark cabal is gathering the power to rewrite reality in a way that puts them on top and destroying millions in the process which feels like something real bad guys would try to do.
