Haven't updated this in a bit. There are 11 chapters now, just over 120 pages, so if you want free reading, it's there! I also uploaded a recap of the first 5 chapters if you want to skip the beginning bit and get to the sci-fi. Enjoy!

A follow up. Made it a little further into the book, listening to the main character complain for the sake of complaining, apparently, because they took no action to fix their problems. Then, they come out with some "mothers are stronger than women who have not given birth" shit, and I closed it.

Apropos of the book I am currently reading: don't write a character that spends the first half of the book complaining about their life. That isn't compelling character development. It's ok to have a down day. It's ok to bitch and complain about it. But please consider the reader :) #books #reading

Just watched Juror #2. Gotta say, not a fan. The premise and cast were wasted on a lackluster execution. There was a good film in there, somewhere, but the writing and directing weren't right for what it was trying to do. Also, not near enough screen time for J. K. Simmons.

I greatly overestimated the amount of berry compote I needed for breakfast this morning, and I have a half gallon of it left... Not sure what I'm gonna do with it, but it's gonna be delicious :)

I think spellchecker's "Add to dictionary" might be the greatest lie the devil ever told.

Oh boy, time to reread and edit what I wrote at 4am. I'm sure it will be completely normal and well thought out.

The finish of the wrist rest on my desk is fading because of how much time I spend writing. This gives me a warm sense of accomplishment.
A wooden wrist rest's stain is wearing off.

Needed to get some practice in with shorter, sub-1000 word, chapters. Well, I like what I wrote enough to throw it up on Royal Road. So, if you want a weird buddy comedy version of Sliders with a Wizard and a Pixie, that you can read in, like, 4 minutes...

The amount of times I get popped for using UK spelling is absurd. I'm sorry, US, but Traveler should have TWO Ls.

The next part of Extinction World is available to read, if you would like.

Chapter 4: The One In Which The World Ends

It's my favorite chapter so far, and I love the way that it came out. I hope you enjoy it, too.

No real surprises here. Haven't had as much time to play this year. Most of those 500+ sessions have been 30 minutes or less, I imagine.

There are so many people posting pics of their beautiful Pythons and other snakes. I love it. Snakes are awesome.

A quote from my conservative stepfather tonight...

"Yeah, bigotry is probably the hardest thing to ignore."

This is the mindset. This is how cunts like Trump get elected.

Don't ignore bigots. Confront them. Physically if need be.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

When I'm describing a species as 'highly intelligent', and I can't spell 'intelligent', I am reminded why I put humanity low on the #fantasy species tier list for my book.
