At what point did I start thinking about the City from my Decopunk/Space Opera/Noir romance as: My City. I find myself saying: "I miss My City." I haven't made enough of it to give me any reason to want to got there other than the art deco sci-fi feel and the smell of the rain in that one district.

Book RED (as it being called for the moment) IS COMPLETE!!! At least the first draft. 127K words. Now I need Beta Readers while I work on Book Blue! (It's technically the same book but not... long story) Any volunteers?

Question for my IT friends: Is this safe/Recommended? Office wants me to install Fortinet VPN on work computer. Ok. They tell me I have to install it on my personal phone. BAD. I google searched and "Privacy concerns/company can remotely unlock/wipe phone" popped up but I can't get verification.

To answer your question (Probably) Am I still writing if I'm GMing a game? I'm trying. I don't want to stop with my WIP but it's been rough for the last few weeks after edits. It was suggested I step away for a bit. But I'm coming back. It's too important for me not to finish it. Wish me luck!

I'm gathering players for a Star Trek TTRPG through discord. So far i have 4 people I don't know as players. I'm also going to run the same scenario as a Captain's Log game with my own character for video. Why? Because I have to. Anyone else want in?

Daniel Ellis @marquisdanbear.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Ok. That does it! Who wants to Play in a Star Trek RPG? I've got one in my head and it won't go away. I'll run Saturday nights, online if I have to. If that time doesn't work for you, tell me what does. Right now My Monday nights, Wednesday Nights and all of Sunday for a while are booked.

If a Democratic president had the week Trump's administration has been having, they'd be standing in front of a firing squad. Trump's hosting a golf tournament. An international one where attendees WON'T wind up being "disappeared" by ICE. www.miamiherald.com/news/traffic...

Trump is dropping into Miami at rush hour. What it could mean for your commute

The president is staying in South Florida through the weekend.

Urge to run Star Trek RPG still running even though I feel disconnected to the fandom, nostalgic for another 30 year old SF property, and putting out feelers for players or games with no luck so I don't feel like I have community. So anyone else want to game or talk about the scenario? Please help!

Not sure but i THINK I have break points for the book (BUT REST ASSURED BETA READERS TO BE! I'LL BE ASKING FOR YOUR FEED BACK) I'll need more feedback and finish soon but for those who know so far it breaks down like this:

Current word count of WIP just passed 240K words. It's official, depending on genre, this is now the size of 3-4 books. I'm basically half a Cryptonomicon or almost the first three Harry Potter Novels. This is going to need some editing... and artwork.

Cleaning and rearranging my apartment to clear out the old vibes and reinvigorate me to create and build a better life should not fill me with existential dread. And yet, here I am, arranging my RPG books wondering if they will ever be of use. I'm debating on purging some. Mostly the PDF ones.

Office meeting. Boss: "So about these new tariffs..." Me projecting but not yelling: "You know what I love about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? Well, let me tell you!" They all laugh. Boss again: "But Trump had done some things..." Me: "IT HAD MORE STYLE THAN VOYAGER!" I did not stop. It worked.

I have a strange promotional video in my head to make for myself but I would need assistance. It involves recreating the first 60 seconds of the movie Snatch as a way to promote my books. I can do most myself (i think) save for the first shot which has camera movement. Thoughts?

Daniel Ellis @marquisdanbear.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

I have decided. If they ever film my books as a TV series, while this character has never appeared and is only spoken of in passing, his image might be seen everywhere and thus I must cast: The Emperor of the Vuldrox Empire: Jeffrey Combs If he said yes, I would write him cameos.

Sitting down to write. And distracting myself, doom scrolling, feeling my shoulders tighten, questioning what I need to finally unleash my creativity which feels unobtainable given medical, social, political, and economic structures right now. To brain: UNCLENCH, GODDAMMIT!! FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!
