Today I looked at the 40+ printed prototype of an ephemera type story and knew it had a major flaw, then everything clicked into place. So yeah, I’m a pantser through and through. I’ve been thinking about this story for years but it wasn’t fully realized till I was done with draft 1.

WAIT A SECOND. where do neurotypical people get their dopamine? If I have to listen to The Garages songs on repeat to get through the day, what are they doing?

Good morning, folks. I hope you face your Friday with kindness and focus and NOT constantly replaying in your head that disastrous quest from last night’s BG3 game.

Back in 199(something) I played a little game called Baldurs Gate. I was wandering around a shop and thought if I clicked on something it meant that I was looking at it. Nope. Apparently I became a shop thief and needed to be murdered.

If you like my writing but don’t know current Warhammer, can you pick this up? I think so. Maybe a little running to catch up at the start but not necessarily more than most heroic fantasy. I think I give context to the concepts as they’re introduced.
My first full length Warhammer novel sees me doing my alien mindset schtick with the Seraphon, the lizard warriors of the Mortal Realms.
Holy crap!! Written in Stars by @aptshadow.bsky.social was one of my favorite shorts in last year’s Advent Subscription- just such a gem! And now we’re getting a full novel?
An absolute out-of-left-field gem of great news.

Off on our big train adventure. The other passengers on our sleeping car are an odd bunch. A loud guy who looks like a crook, a Swedish missionary, a Russian princess and her German maid. Also a strange little man with an egg-shaped head and a funny mustache. I think he’s French.

Thing I didn’t expect on a train trip- Amtrak seats strangers together like Benihana, only it’s just a table for four so it’s obvious when you’re not talking. Every…single….meal, new people.

Six Wakes by @mightymur.bsky.social is the hands down best SFF mystery I've ever read. S-Tier book.
4) SFF mystery is one of the hardest genres to write. You make up the rules of the world & it's easy to make the mystery either obvious or completely arbitrary and inscrutable based on your worldbuilding. Getting good mystery AND good SFF is a challenge. So respect the few writers who do it well.
