I write, volunteer, woodwork, and design games. There is some overlap.
Those telling me to "stop spiralling" don't realize how easy it is to build the water slide ahead of time, or even helped with its construction

@iwriteok.bsky.social shooting my shot!

You mentioned the demonization of mental illness in the US in your Pol Pot ep. 3 of BtB. I wrote a novel fictionalizing where I think this is headed. Would love to discuss.

Full disclosure, I have a free copy to read & review. I'll be fair & honest.
But if the 1st chapter is any indication... it was intense enough to want to avert my vision (in a good way). & the cover is cool

A friend told me my sense of humor would crush on Twitter, but like, any sense of humor would crush there.

People keep asking me whether I worry about the future of writing books with AI. Instead of answering people individually, I decided to write a post about it.

Tldr: I'm not scared of generative AI. I'll never need to lie about cheese facts.

My Thoughts on AI
As a writer, I've been asked time and again about how AI will affect my life and if I'm nervous for my career.

My debut #novel, Averted Vision, is releasing February 21!

It's a dark scifi about the US falling under an authoritarian government. I started writing this in 2015, so it's not a direct reaction to 'waves hands at everything'.

TV, work, TV, work, TV
I imagined more for me
So I left
And your world cleft
Walls collapsed, one only stood between us
You took my friends, my family
So I would stay among the debris
A figment of my reality

From time to time I'm going to post a poem here. These are experimental as I try to learn! I hope seeing my learning process is interesting!

A bad parent is one who insists only the best for their child, when what the kid needs is just enough.

The most insulting part of being called a functional alcoholic is that it implies that I'm functional.
