State of the Author

I know that eventually, things will be sorted out

State of the WIP, State of the Pitch

I've spent all year attempting to gain help with Adapting, but only received silence instead of interest.

A Devil's Tale

State of the WIP (August 2024)

I'm probably going to start a fifth GoogDoc.

Save the World

The entire population of the planet just spontaneously decided to collectively ignore [COVID] and hope that it actually did go away.

Just Writer Things

Tandy Syndrome

Before some genius coined the word "enshittification" I knew the concept by a different term. "Tandy Syndrome".

Advertising Myself

Pitchfest Incoming

My heart's already going hell for leather at the mere thought of it.
