Tonight, at 89,383 words my dark fantasy horror novel, Shades and Shapes in the Dark is finished.
I've addressed all the Beta reader comments, I've rewritten large portions, all that remains is running it through a grammar check before it goes off to the final copy editor.

Why do I feel guilty every time I go to the grocery store just to get necessities? I know damn well how hard I work and how little I'm paid for my labor. I know that grocery store chains and food distributors are price gouging. But man it's deep in my head that I did something wrong and I hate it.

I hit publish for the Eye of the Wood audiobook on October 3rd. It is still processing on all services... ooof. I guess when I actually release full length novel ones I will put up for sale on my website as well, cause 3 months lag time is absolutely ridiculous.

1/3 To block or not to block? I don't know the right answer. I can see why it's a good thing and how it also increases bias in a divided society. But, One thing I really like about it is that we are debating about the rules on what should or shouldn't be in the public sphere.

Media has changed a lot in the last few decades. But what we need more than social media is community media. I did this research and documentary 10 years ago now, but it's just as relevant as ever. Check out a theater troupe in Denver that's still making a difference
