Ný bók, kíkið endilega í hóf!

Siðmenningin leið undir lok. Aldir hafa liðið. Á einangraðri eyju sem eitt sinn hét Ísland ríkir viðvarandi vetur og frumstæðir ættbálkar draga fram lífið. Tveir sagnaþulir bjarga vélkonu sem býr yfir botnlausri þekkingu úr fortíðinni - og flótti hefst yfir vetrarríki.

I don't write unless I'm listening to music. I simply can't have silence when working. 'Tis the enemy. I figured I should, once in a while, recommend writing-music. First one: Carbon Based Lifeforms. A Swedish duo that makes high quality psybient. Often helps with getting the flow going.

Forgot to post this. A new Christmas tradition. Isn't it just wonderful?

Last night a news site wasn't the first place I heard about the eruption but from a friend standing on her balcony, sending the picture to our table top game group.

"Welcome home, dad!" #Worldcon was amazing but it's good to be back home. We went straight for icecream.

A 2nd novel sent to the editor this year, in time for @glasgow2024.bsky.social! Here I'm holding the one launched at @icecon.bsky.social. Can't wait to absorb everything at #Worldcon, meeting new and old friends. I'll be on two panels: Combining Genres and Building Fictional Folklores. #Glasgow2024

Icelandic witchcraft is beautifully demented. Necropants. Made from the skin of a dead human. The person must accept the flaying before their death. The pants must be worn right away so they grow on you. Then you steal a coin from a poor widow, put it into the ballsack, producing endless money.

So satisfying! Happy, happy. Joy, joy.

Ran up to my office to jot stuff down but snuck back out. My son and his friends were eating cookies and playing some sort of Pictionary. I'll allow it.

Icelandic horses are exceptionally calm given the lousy weather they have to put up with.

Thursday night multitasking. Play role play on internet, paint minis, take notes for a horror novel, drink Fanta Lemon. Neeeerd. Yes, I am!

Ég trúi því varla! Núna taka við editeringar þar til ég sendi ritstjóra handritið um mánaðamótin.

Smakkaði svona fyrir rælni um daginn og hef keypt ca. 500 poka síðan þá. Þetta er sturlað gott. Grunar að duftið sé heróín.
