People have NO idea how much the entertainment industry brings in to balance our foreign trade deficit. Books, movies, games. music - everything - puts the entertainment industry high on the list. Never yet met the government official willing to listen. Creative imagination is not frivolous!

Note: cleaning up duplicates/errors in the Anthropic claims settlement: the page is Extremely fussy as to what order you do corrections, it will FREEZE. Also, HEADS UP: one publisher filed its claim and added MY AGENT and also THEIR EDITOR, who no longer works there! WTF. Not rights holders!

The Guardian (sequel to Verrain's story, The Gallant) is now moved on to FINAL TOUCH UP polish - the finish of the language. Next stop from here is proof reading.

A colourful chill isometric drawing. hand drawn and coloured. Optimus is chilling, sitting behind a barn in a farmland. looking at the birds that just landed on his arm. It’s a nice summer sunset.

Hey, @jannywurts.bsky.social -- thanks for the signal boost! ( on Talking Story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MoT...) (And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that all my books are available nowadays in both ebook and trade paperback versions. Got the rights back and republished them myself!)

Well, SURPRISE! Apparently, I way overshot the 'official Hugo rules' length for a novella by - 20,500 words. THE GUARDIAN IS A NOVEL. Felt like it, too, the ground it covers is astonishing. Now clocking 60,500 words, before final cut and polish. Holy heck, Verrain!

NASA Astronomy Hourly Picture - 2021-11-15: Light Pillar over Volcanic Etna #Astronomy #NASA #Space

What happening above that volcano? Something very unusual -- a volcanic light pillar. More typically, light pillars are caused by sunlight and so appear as a bright column that extends upward above a rising or setting Sun. Alternatively, other light pillars -- some quite colorful -- have been recorded above street and house lights. This light pillar, though, was illuminated by the red light emitted by the glowing magma of an erupting volcano. The volcano is Italy's Mount Etna, and the featured image was captured with a single shot a few hours after sunset in mid-June. Freezing temperatures above the volcano's ash cloud created ice-crystals either in cirrus clouds high above the volcano -- or in condensed water vapor expelled by Mount Etna. These ice crystals -- mostly flat toward the ground but fluttering -- then reflected away light from the volcano's caldera. Explore Your Universe: Random APOD Generator

Finishing touches ongoing with the third pass on a new short story, due in the next few weeks. If you read the recent short, Front Man Fallen out from Grimdark Magazine, you'll have a clue. It is a sequel.

I won't live in a world lead by machines and robots, a sad path to the elimination of the liminal, the extinction of mystery. Nor will I amplify haters. Our world is endlessly rich, a treasure trove of amazing ideas for each individual to find personal fulfillment. Live and let live. Seek joy.

Funny thing, I NEVER had complaints about style or language use in the first 20 years of my career. Not gonna be dumbing down, sorry not sorry. Reading can (also) be about pushing the envelope, breaking limitations.

There is a very long story about how I got the raven in flight pose for Peril's Gate's UK cover. Went through a LOT of food enticement, to no avail. That was the failure at the beginning.

At halfway point on the beta-read version of The Guardian, into the thick of the twist at center. Here the refinement slides over the line into polish, after feedback. Not read The Gallant? (prequel 100 years earlier) Catch up with Verrain's story. No spoilers for the main series: audio and ebook.

Creators: don't let the red-line where others abandoned their dreams affect YOU. Invention is not a pack activity. You take your chances and make your choices alone. Sheep want you in the fold for their safety and to justify their own fear of not belonging. DON'T LISTEN!
