have a new short story collection that came out this year called IN TRANSIT: STORIES ON THE MOVE. All the stories are "on the move," whether by train, spaceship, automobile, or even on foot. I'm pleased with this collection. Bonus: I created a playlist for the book for you to enjoy as you read.

Thinking on how so many people are going through a hard time. And sometimes, it’s not even visible. Everyone has ghosts. Monsters under the bed. Banshees in our hearts. When you can be kind, be kind. When you can show care, show care. World is harsh. Not a single time is love the wrong answer.

Indie writers are real writers. Self-pub writers are real writers. Trad pub writers are real writers. None of us are better than each other. I only wish the readers who need your work find it.

I thought the quiz would be interesting because I was an Army brat who lived overseas, then had speech therapy because of my accent, and then joined the Army. My dialect is most like Montana, a place I’ve never lived, and least like Texas, a place I’ve lived three times.

Publisher Catherine Lundoff will be exploring @dragoncon.org today (no panels until tomorrow) so look for her to say hi and get a badge ribbon (while supplies last)! She also has a couple of copies of her werewolf books with her if you’re hoping to get signed ones.

Backing up my files (BACK UP YOUR FILES, FRIENDS, NO EXCUSES and DO IT ASAP if you haven't in awhile/ever) and I see that my folder for all the [RECORDED] files is... uh... 20BG 😅 This is probably because of all the graphics and artwork I'm putting together for it.👀 It's gonna be SO pretty, y'all

I don’t recommend the Kindle version of my book, HOT SINGLES IN YIUR AREA. Unbound did a horrible job with the formatting and really messed up the art and typography pages (the normal prose pages are fine) Best versions of the books are 1. Physical print 2. Audiobook

This is why we signal boost each other, review and blurb good books, and try to support each other when life pours it on. Without community, you'd only have the abyss. And the abyss is one of those friends who's only really good in group settings. Never ride home alone with the abyss.

Set up for game design sessions with daughter Displaying the design files on the laptop and duplicating to a portable display is very helpful. The Synonym Finder and dictionary were out today because I considered renaming one of the advancement paths which will be in a lot of code.

A table with the following items on it: two laptop trays, Roget’s Synonym Finder on top of the dictionary, soda cans, a water bottle, and a stack of papers.

One laptop tray has a laptop on it. The other laptop tray has a portable monitor on it.

Dragon curtains and a framed foil of “The Charge of Lord Soth” is in the background.

Just because you searched and found documents doesn't mean any of them are legitimate or useful. That's the work part of anything academic/research oriented. Determining, analyzing, and considering the veracity what you find. Not just finding something and calling it a fact.

I started school in an English school in Germany and lived in Texas for two years afterwards. I had a lot of speech therapy as a kid so people could understand me. Bits of those accents resurface when I’m around people with them. Y’all came from the Army though and I kept it.

Trying to decide between making a cantaloupe melomel or a ginger metheglin. Cantaloupe works surprisingly well as a melomel because of its citric acid.
