C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 28/09/2026the worst astrology burn I ever saw was, "all you end of september people were New Year's whupsies." like how dare you 020
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 28/09/2026hm. if you want a short standalone, that's Even Though I Knew The End. If you want a series, the Kingston Cycle is a trilogy. If you have enjoyed D&D, The Feywild job is literally a D&D book. If you want a book about reproductive rights while being a fantasy romance, that's The Midnight Bargain. 172
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 28/09/2026I don't think there have been any translations of The Feywild Job at all, alas 000

Polk @clpolk.com · 28/09/2026your local brick and mortar bookshop, I'd say. you can do that through bookshop dot org or your bookshop's website. for audio, I like Libro.fm and for ebooks, I like Kobo but I think bookshop dot org sells ebooks now too.libro.fmBuy audiobooks & support local bookstoresLibro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores. 010
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 28/09/2026The Kingston Cycle is exactly that, three books long. Even Though I Knew the end is exactly that, but it's only a novella. they might be a little nutritional? 261
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 28/09/2026The royalties on that trilogy go straight into my pocket, so YAY thank you 1180
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 28/09/2026It was outside, a lot of the time. as a kid there was a spot in the bush all the kids knew. we'd go there to smoke (tobacco) and listen to the radio. We'd gossip. We'd decide to go play on construction sites (don't do this) or it was cheap, so you could show up for two bucks. 150

C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 26/09/2026Yes exactly! One day i should write about the strike 52 afternoon but I suspect it's the kind of story where I think it's funny and everyone else will be like 😳 110
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 26/09/2026I have begun. So far, I have read the introduction and decided how I'm going to work with the book. I have a plan and I posted the details on Patreon, if you'd like to see:patreon.comCharting a Course: How I think I'm going to steer before I've even begun | C. L. PolkI started Steering the Craft with the introduction, of course. I used to skip introductions. too impatient. Now I know better. It's good to 0221
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 24/09/2026I really need some unmarketable luxurious indulgence right now. I want eighty six word sentences (The Midnight Bargain began with that particular exercise from Steering the Craft, in fact, and while i did split the sentence, it's still in there!) 280
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 24/09/2026I really feel like "just do it" drafting is getting me down so I'm going to get into a slow return to Steering The Craft I have invited people on my Patreon Discord to join me. I'm not boot camping it. I am tired of efficiency. Density of purpose is boring. I want the luxury of prose again. 6891
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 22/09/2026Oh it's simple. I signed up for The Tomorrow Project many years ago, and sometimes they want me to come in for blood draws and such. So I was just doing science 020

C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 19/09/2026I'm glad you told me that. I am greedy for all the romances that make people double take because they didn't expect to see themselves 020
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 18/09/2026and they had the fucking brass balls nerve to act like I was being mean to them! that just overbakes my salmon just thinking about it. and the $1500 per title i get from anthropic is a slap in the face. I wouldn't have said yes for ten times that! 122618
C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 18/09/2026Do you know how it felt to open a writing app that claimed to analyze your writing for optimization and discover that my books were inside its system? I had never spoken to these people. they hadn't asked for a license or permission or *anything.* and that all the big AI companies had done it too? 5436147

That's a hard-coded API token that Flock cameras use to identify themselves and get OAuth credentials, which can then be used to talk to Flock's production servers. Like, anyone on the internet can probably do this right now. 382530850

C. L. Polk @clpolk.com · 17/09/2026Hi I have a question. If someone names only one person in their will and leaves them everything, can they name that person the executor or do they need to name someone else? I am Canadian, and I don't know if it's different here than in other countries 13231
