I wrote a novelette this month...a cursed length of fiction (7,600) destined to sit on my hard drive forever. Or until I publish a short story collection. Which will come first? No one knows.

I'm very excited to announce that we've finally launched Buried Treasure, my #solarpunk #TTRPG campaign! Like all my solarpunk stuff, it's CC-BY, so you can get it absolutely free at: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... fully-automated-rpg.itch.io/fully-automa... or here: mega.nz/fm/DVsiDC7b
A photobash with an oil paint style, looking out over a landscape from the top of a steep hill with an extremely washed out road winding down it. The scene is framed by trees and brush. In the distance an irregular lake fills the bottom of a forested valley, with a small village along one side, and mountains rising up in the distance. A cargo airship is hovering somewhere above the scene. The text reads: Fully Automated the Thousand Year Cleanup Book One: Buried Treasure by Jacob Coffin

I don’t know if this story wrote is good or if it’s deeply personal so I think it’s good.

Normalize saying, "I don't know enough about that subject to have an opinion yet." No one is forcing you to come up with a take on the spot.

After careful deliberation, the SSBA has decided to disqualify Patrick Barb’s books from the competition. We will soon follow up on how this impacts the semifinalist horror category. We thank you for your support.

I want to boost Theo's accusation again because the Horror Writer's Association doesn't seem to have acknowledged it at all. Given that this is about a presidential nominee I would expect there to at least be consideration of the statement.

Someday a publisher will ask me to prove that I wrote a piece of fiction, and I’m going to share my zero draft, which can only charitably be called coherent. (I actually save individual drafts. And have somewhere between 4-8 per short story.)
