In some lighter news, I do remember to write from time to time. This is a snippet from my first draft of The Vagabond Knight, a fantasy story of knights, tournaments, political intrigue, family, redemption, and acceptance.

Super cool that we've got a deal for a path towards a pipeline that's tied to a carbon capture project, as if that makes it okay
when carbon capture one of the most expensive and least effective options for addressing climate change, and oil companies often use it to EXTRACT MORE OIL!!!!

1/ Mark Carney has betrayed all of us by making a pipeline pact with Danielle Smith. A real nation-building project would expand the renewable energy of the future while creating thousands of jobs - powerlines not pipelines.

Just finished Royal Assassin. Very good, although the narrator was a big bland and lacking in range. Going to have to wait a few months to listen to the next one.

Good morning.
If you live in Alberta, you should know that today your government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to wage war against transgender Albertans.
Not because transgender persons are harmful, but because the UCP is distracting you from their mountain of failures.

Going to be honest for a moment, I'm significantly less interested in your book if the cover is made using AI. I understand that self publishing is expensive, and that paying an artist is also expensive, but I'm finding it's pushing me away more than drawing me in.

Been listening to the audiobook of Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb. Honestly? Better than the first one. I dont think I've read a book that gets how frustratingly stupid teenagers can be as much as this one 😂

Progress on chapter 5 of Cinderfall is going well. Lambert is here, he's queer, and he's a mess. I'm trying to find a good mix of a privileged character who does kind of care, but doesn't know how to show it without sounding like an asshole.

Huge shocker! Turns out Alberta separatism is actually just a US-backed psy-op for oil and the people pushing it don’t actually want to be independent.

Managed to outline about 6 chapters by hand for Cinderfall. Haven't been able to do that in one go for a long while, and now my hand hurts. But it feels good to do it again. I think jumping between the two WIP's helps keep things fresh.
