I run a short story I've written through an AI check: "100% human." Relief, followed immediately by: "Wait, does that mean it's badly written?"

New book time: let's stare at the shelves, scratch our chins, and eventually buy something new.

Working my way through the Dungeon Crawler Carl series with an equal measure of voracious urgency and reluctance to catch up... @mattdinniman.bsky.social you've created a(nother) monster.

Writing gets easier once you stop asking every line to explain itself. Atmosphere can carry meaning before logic arrives.

"This is not what we voted for." Oh, get in the bin. Yes, you did. It's the people facing illegal deportation or destitution that didn't.

My first book is currently available for free! It's about political machinations in an increasingly faithless world, which is struggling with the emergence of AI... it's fiction, honest. amzn.eu/d/bdcAXEJ

Can we spare a thought for the authors of dystopian fiction? The news is increasingly looking like my short story drafts.

A metallic hand removes the dust from an ancient tome revealing its name: HOW IT ENDED. It creaks and crumbles as it's opened. The orange pages flip and a finger traces the words PART THREE and then, further down: "The convicted felon had won the popular vote by a landslide, the world stood aghast."

Hedley W. Jackson @hedleywjackson.bsky.social · 27/10/2024

I keep writing short stories, convincing myself they deserve to be larger projects, then consigning them to gather dust in the growing Large Project pile. At least I’m writing, I guess. Does anyone else have a stack of ‘someday’ projects?

Hedley W. Jackson @hedleywjackson.bsky.social · 22/10/2024

I cannot put it off any longer, I am going to read The Stand. I will be uncontactable for the foreseeable. @stephenking.bsky.social please forgive my tardiness.

Hedley W. Jackson @hedleywjackson.bsky.social · 10/10/2024

Absolutely this. Why is it that this is the worst possible question to be asked? I hate it.

18 years of owning The Silmarillion and I've not yet made it past the first page. Anyone else just keeping a copy as a mythical artifact, rather than reading material? Maybe this is the year...

Read about it and watch it repeat itself...

"The lady was dead, the smell suggested it and the riven, hanging skin declared it as fact. The eyes - that stared without blinking - were orbs of crystal cloud: defunct; the cheek was a window to the mouth and rotten stumps of teeth within; the nose was clinging on." #horror tinyurl.com/4nchh2m3

I've entered the last 100 pages of a book I'm reading. My eyes dart to those dusty and pensive on the shelves; the patient, the underestimated. I check my online wishlist and hear a distant groan. 97 pages left, but I haven't been paying attention. I've entered the last 100 pages...

The Jinx is breathtaking. It has absolutely everything: unhinged people; absurd actions; legal ineptitude; pure, real-life evil; the relentless, heartrending pursuit of justice. A must watch.

I have so much respect for this. Go well, brother.

So true! It took me thirty years and several mental health wobbles to draw a straight line between lack of exercise and feeling blue. Now I literally run from my demons.

Okay, so a crow died in my chimney. Is there a set protocol here for seeing off whatever omen this represents? What are the preferred incantations for this situation?
