The Education of Percival, my new webcomic with artist @jaisydayne.bsky.social and letterer @longtalljodie.com is now live. We'll be dropping a new page on Sundays. It's a story about how growing up we put this armor on to protect ourselves until we can learn how to take it off and live without it.

Wisconsin’s Driftless Area has shifted to the GOP in recent presidential elections. A local candidate for sheriff is hoping to buck that trend and end his county’s agreement with ICE.

#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall I usually need an idea of the character, a hint of a setting, and something happening. I decide later if any of those are plot-relevant. Yes, I'm a pantser usually.

the main conflict is helpful but not 1000% necessary depending on the story sometimes it's something small but significant, like what a particular item is and how the characters might find it always a good bit about the characters (but not everything) #WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall

#LateNightWrite Thanks for the chat! If you like books about fear, check out The Witch of the Wood and watch Milo face his fears! 🖤Out October 6th!🖤 Uni: books2read.com/u/bw6gwP Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/the-witch-of...

The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.
