WarnerDiscovery to split into two companies. I just looked at how they will split, and lol, it's basically splitting into Warner Bros. and Discovery. Ever since Zaslav took over its just an endless carousel of book fudging and rebranding. Gotta do something to make line go up.

The Articy Draft X official tutorials and guides are not good, can anyone out there doing IF recommend any others? I have experience in platforms like Twine and Inform, and that area of code, so it needn't be total baby steps.

If you think our govs will finally act if 'one of our own' is harmed, then remember the outrage and response generated by the USA when Rachel Corrie (white/middle-class/college grad) was murdered by the IDF. I'll give you a minute.

I get the same info on Bsky now as I did on Twitter, the main difference being that here I can cut out trolls. If you are seeing articles claiming it is failing because 'the Right' can't access you, then it's actually working not failing. Don't comply in advance.

Bemused by some lukewarm reviews of Mountainhead (2025), in the couple of days since I saw it, the areas/people it is about have unfolded as if they are copying it. It's so on the money.

One aspect of my newest fantasy Aertelis is the character Keita Jo, an educated rogue from an alt-Mali Empire. While the others feel caught up in the pull of high civilization, in The Realm, Jo has a flipped POV, where he is away from civilization, adventuring in wilder lands.

If anyone surfs into to my pinned post or bio, likes the look of my new book, but is going through it rn, follow the bio links to my site and contact via mail for a free epub version. All I'd ask in return is a socials post or something.

I think in this climate of endless consumerist IP exploitation, and the corresponding fan culture, the wiki-fication of everything, any storyteller who leaves space for the reader, for the imagination, who leaves a question unanswered, will seem revolutionary.

Philip K Dick correctly predicted how annoying the future would be, and I think it’s because he was a Bay Area guy

Cyberpunk action, it's free, and you'll be supporting independent books, what's not to like?

doing art for the sake of doing art is good for the soul and you should be doing it regardless of how much practice you've put in

Got around to the animated masterpiece Flow (2024). A work of humanist beauty that does not feature a single human.

Yup, go wide. Especially now as KU's previously reliable internal ad/marketing service appears to have died. Also, check out Kevin's bio and books - a fantasy writer and musician in indie spaces, the spaces we all say we should morally support.

As a teen in 80s during satanic panic, a local catholic school did a public book burning and referred to me by name as the 'son of Satan,' it happened because a friend at that school dropped my name to get out of trouble with his parents, I found out by accident months later (I had done nothing.)

My brain can't process other fiction when deep into a draft of my own, which results in odd combinations. This week, writing Sword & Sorcery set in an elven nation, while finishing up Eagleton's "Materialism" and starting a book on Estonian.

Do you want a character-driven adventure echoing classic Sword & Sorcery film and TRPGs, but also the literary style, worldbuilding and themes of the New Wave writers like Moorcock and Le Guin? Wide + available to libraries. UBL: books2read.com/u/bz9BOE #booksky #fantasy #sword&sorcery 📚💙

Hunter Schafer, a good actor, is basically the manifestation of a what-if-Zelda-was-real image. And a ton of accounts on the trash site are mad that it's rumored she'll be cast in the live action film for real. I wonder why.
