contemplating changes to this draft which would require rewriting even more of it ugh nobody ever write a book, nobody tells you this but writing a book means that you have to read that book Five Million Times and also tear its guts out. unless you write clean drafts. which. couldnt be me.

I've been posting a lot of The Illuminist so I thought I would change it up. This is the cast of Tinheart (working name) The story of a group who crash land on a rotting mere and are left to fend for themselves Vale is a POV along with Alec Daring escapades, romance and ?s of what's worth saving!

I was reading about utopias today with a sense of futility until Paul Kincaid noted the moment in literature when utopia turned from a place to a process, first in HG Wells: "The ideal, the perfect state, is almost certainly unattainable, but utopia is the process of striving towards that ideal."

Flash: Under 1,000 words.
Short Stories: Longer than that, but still short.
Novelette: *Frantically checking a magazine's guidelines*
Novella: Too long ~and~ too short.
Novels: Just one more moleskine. This will be the one.

Another September, another deluge of social media posts from PNWers convinced they have fiddle, wolf, or recluse spider infestations. Comrades. It's just giant house spider mating season. You don't have an infestation. They've been there the whole time. Now they are risking death for girlfriends

Trying to developed the visual language of Harrens culture a little more. Judy is counter productive to the process.
But their "three things" are bells, lace and loose fabric, or generally lots of fabric. Designs will change depending on their status.

The ever burning pearl is a highly concentrated form of ether made using Peril's pearling method. Used to fuel the autos who fight the rot. Highly sought after, work to who finds it. It means the auto has fallen and the rot has won.
