Oh yay, new followers! Be forewarned, I spend too much time on here 💀 Expect book recs, RTd poems, assorted niche enthusiasms, bitching about housework, a lot of dog pics, random internet hilarity, and occasional reminders that I write books—specifically the ones below, perfect for spooky season!
I have handed in 70k I am actually pretty happy with, WOO, probably 45Kish to go unless I figure out how to make it shorter
Today I am going to write

“If it goes away when you take your meds it’s probably not a character flaw” is something I have to tell myself often.

I believe strongly anymore that it is the responsibility of every denizen of the Internet to keep it cool, human, and to make it weird wherever possible. The past days of the computer being cool might be behind us, but that doesn't mean that we can't carve out cool niches today, imo

Make yourself a handy wee file called "buy links" for each book and copy into it all the links to your book on assorted platforms
This way you have all your buy links to conveniently copy/paste when you need them
and you don't have to go look them up EVERY DAMN TIME

WHEN YOU SHARE YOUR BOOK ALWAYS INCLUDE AN ORDER LINK
Can I pre-order this somewhere?

🅳🅰🆈 7 - A Slough of Memories...
On the Canadian prairies a pond is called a 'slough'. The word comes from Old English "slōh", meaning soft, muddy ground. They are prettier than the word sounds...

WELL I tried the borderline silly scene and had a great deal of fun writing it
but alas now that I think it over it probably doesn't quite make sense logistically, silliness quotient aside
bah, humbug
...fun to write in a genre where I can flirt with silliness tho, I gotta say 🤔

I've read this. It's good. You should read it too, even (or maybe especially) if it's not snowy where you are.
Now that it's getting snowy out there, allow me to invite you to check out my wintery vampire book!

Love @colindickey.com's cultural criticism and this is a really intriguing four-part series on the weird, clunky, void spaces proliterating around us, which he (rightly!) connects to a legacy of gothic aesthetics.

On a related note: my work is doing double matching today, so I'm donating to the Farley Foundation. A couple years ago I saw a news story on a similar place in BC that helps with vet costs so people didn't have to surrender their pets. Farley is the Ontario version.

The Farley Foundation helps low-income pet owners in Ontario afford essential veterinary care. Donate, get involved and help keep people and pets together.
