It's funny because I changed the location of Hunger Stone from Las Vegas to New York after the feds found bodies uncovered by droughts in Nevada...

Imagine already having written a short story called Island of Strangers and then waking up to this garbage.

I haven't finished it, but I have learned more bird facts so I am calling that a win.

Nah, I think it's a story about a crime writer who gets his classes cancelled because they're using the AI of a dead crime writer instead. So he vows to get revenge on them, but to do that it turns out he needs a little help...

I'm dreaming of a mythology where there's been an epic cosmic battle between the god of sandboxes and the goddess of railroads, and humanity is living in the aftermath. Am I on the right track ? (Ha! Track! Railroad!)

Fanjoy is such a wonderful name.

I want my players to show up for the game and not be dicks. Is there a god for that? Is it Thor? It's usually Thor, right?

Or rework the Battle of Culloden with Melniboné Prince Charlie.

As an indie writer, I have to pop in a thank you here for talking about Substack.

I'll have to try something like this myself one day, it's not as if I'd be short on people to ask for clues!

Ooh, maybe I'll give him a longer and more considered read then.

On a superficial reading, I quite liked Rawls, but I never read it in depth. I strongly suspect it's an interesting though experiment and nothing more.

Y'know, I've read enough papal history to know basing an AI pope on previous papal behaviour is a disaster in itself.

I like to think the clockwork pixies come and change the clocks overnight, like a visit from the tooth fairy or Santa

Writing means extricating myself from a deep deep research rabbit hole and sometimes that hurts.

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking Mrs Dalloway.

And to you! I am watching from Beachy Head.
