Current novel in progress: This is a cozy fantasy and will stay a cozy fantasy as long as we ignore that writhing pit of repressed emotions. Also, elves.

YouTube has been recommending me ten-minute-long videos of middle-aged men rolling increasingly absurd cigars lately. I just saw a thumbnail depicting what appeared to be a cigar approximately fourteen inches in length. I feel like if you're smoking a fourteen-inch cigar the subtext has become text.

Drafting days are easy to quantify because it's all about how many words you get on the page. Revising days are harder. Sometimes I don't get through a whole page or I actually have less than I started out with, but the work I did was still important. I just can't literally count it!

My only personal reading observation from 2025 is that this was a crazy good year for series for me. Blue lock, apothecary diaries(light novels), doctrine of labyrinths, black dagger brotherhood.I usually struggle to maintain interest in a series so i'm impressed that these keep being good!

I just feel like a trolley is far too cute a mode of transportation for the trolley problem.

Cat is out of the bag! Tor declined my suggestion to include in the blurb "sapphic Winter Soldier, but wizards"; however this is in fact the only accurate way to describe this book torpublishinggroup.com/call-me-trai...

LEVEL 3: My OC has a huge cock because fuck normal actually

LEVEL 4: My OC's cock varies depending on how horny I am

LEVEL 5: My OC's cock is however big it needs to be to make the joke land

Computer, please summarize everything PG Wodehouse ever wrote in ten seconds
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

"Almost"
A little word that does so much work.
Let’s all go around the table and say one word we’re thankful for.

I really hesitate to talk about the book I'm writing because I don't want to hype up a scene that I wind up cutting.

(But man I loved writing this one bit. Nothing more masculine than doing ten minutes of handyman work and then getting drunk on a roof)

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee

It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism
