Hey Bluesky, I am Abe.

Ten years ago, I dropped out of comp sci to pursue ghostwriting full time, and I regret nothing. I get to slow down, read and write for a living, and surround myself with good books, good music, my wife, and my daughter.

My favorite genres are horror and high fantasy.
I finally got around to finishing The Name Of The Wind.

I give it 5 stars.

It was every bit as exceptional as I was made to believe.

Will ration out the other 2 books. For now, it is Katabasis and Sanderson's Mistborn that I am reading.

Just finished reading Piranesi by Susanna Clarke.

I rate it 5 stars.

The story did everything I've ever wanted from a speculative fiction novel. I won't be getting rid of the statue ridden dreams anytime soon.

The Beauty Of The House Is Immeasurable.

I'm reading Cormac McCarthy's Child of God, because I've been feeling like I need to read more of him, and the other three books of him that I have, I've already read.

Blood Meridian was fantastic. No Country For Old Men, 10/10. The Road put me in a deep depression.

I love immersing myself in fantasy games as a hobby to escape the doomed world we live in.

Am I up and coming?
Hell no.
I'm so down, and I'm going.
Har-de-har-har-har, here there be signs of a cracked mind.

I've been uploading shorts on YouTube for the past 8 days. Got around 3,000 views, lol. And 20 subscribers.

Wanna pop over and say hi?

Why doth I take heavy unto my heart my own affectation? Why perceive I, in the mirror, myself as the man I am but naught? Why hold I myself to this dappled image, why aspire to be something that I have no aspiration toward? Alas I am what I am and to change my disposition would be treason.

I've been dabbling in short form videos to grow my audience on YouTube and Meta. And by dabbling I mean I've made two reels.

Let's see where this goes.

Apologies for the disappearance, my 30-something followers. I've been dealing with plagues and floods. I must've tried God's patience a little too hard there.

Got sick with Covid last month and then all hell broke loose when my country got hit with floods.

Hope y'all are well.

It's that time of the year where I inundate my psyche with horror novels, horror flicks, horror TV shows, and render it numb in anticipation of fall and winter.

What can I say? The months ending in -ber are g o a t e d.

Gonna treat myself to Conjuring: Last Rites.

I've loved dogs ever since as I can remember. My family never let me keep one. My wife is petrified of them. And the landlord has a no dogs policy.

I've got it figured out.

If I cannot get myself a dog, then I must write about one.

It's a German Shephard named Valravn.

Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret's ulcer.

there's something so deeply sexy about the exfoliating bark of maple trees, all that white flake peeling off, and you can imagine Kratos's wife walking between them, placing her hands on them, leaving golden prints of protection.

I've got scaly dermatitis thingy on my palms for some months now. It's almost as if my hands are cursed to have one thing or another going on. First it was short joint arthritis, and now this.

It's like, give me a break, universe. Jesus.

I cannot get enough of Tang Orange ® when working on my novels. Truly, the playful flavor of that most cherished drink is the greatest thing that has graced my palate.

Writers of Bluesky, what is your beverage of choice while writing?

If you're a writer, you're a little crazy, and I like that about you. Tell me something absolutely unhinged about yourself, or your writing process.

I'll begin. Sometimes, when I'm writing and I kinda need to finish a chapter, I hold off pooping until I'm done

I wake up and there is the taste of ale in my mouth.

I was at an inn in my sleep where Dandelion sang and strummed, Elminster nodded his head to the tune, Kvothe served drinks from behind the counter, Strider sat in the far corner, eyes lit in the pipe's glow.

I miss my dream.

I've been quite sick past couple of days. It's hard to be sick and to juggle your responsibilities, especially near the end of the month, with rent, utilities, and everything else due. haha.

But today, I wrote a couple thousand words. So, things are looking up.
