folks writing about books: please confirm the actual publications of an author before referencing them! just had a trade review reference an AI slop book that’s been attached without permission to my name on some retail sites. so. that’s a great thing to wake up to.

Sweet, strange uncitizens: ONCE I WAS MADE OF EARTH is here, an epic fantasy that's been ratling in my brain for years now and that I'm putting out into the world serially outside of the capitalist publishing apparatus. Share, and read, and comment. archiveofourown.org/works/91618061

The painting "The Moment" by James Warden, with the text "Once I Was Made of Earth" on it by Rivers Solomon. The painting is in the romantic style, quite dramatic and dark in tone if not colour, with a horse rearing with fear in its eyes as a snake launches to bite it, against a back drop of pink and blue mountains.

updates: still no word from the living expenses folks at insurance, love that. most of the demo is complete, revealing a lot less damage than there could have been. still pretty surreal. hopefully we’ll be back in sooner than originally expected since they didn’t have to rip out the kitchen.

Slow going today. About 1/4 of the way there. Each of these clips on this nested timeline is a multicam sequence with 2-3 cameras... so first I edited each of those multicam tracks to pick the best shots, and now I'm editing them into the final cut.

One of the cool challenges in adapting The Luminous Dead is crafting a space that can fully transform under light and projection. Here you can see a moment at Camp 2 where Gyre's suit's reconstruction of the chamber is incomplete. (Photo by scenic designer Sarah Beth Hall).

Gyre sits on a shelf with a false color projection of a cave behind her... Half of the projection is wire frame, the rest is more complete.
