World-curious Canadian. Author of pulptastic fantasy, dark fantasy and even a bit of sci-fi-lite!

Mythology, folklore, indie games and horror movies are my jam, but this isn't a 'themed' account so I may talk about anything that's on my mind.

#WritersCoffeeClub 08/17: What's changed for you from when you started writing to now?

Not my bank account, certainly

Ok real talk for a second. I like #fedi, I do. But a subset of people on here have a serious case of the smug going on and it's frankly vile as fuck. I'm referring to people who go "This wouldn't have happened if you'd just switched to #linux" when someone has a computer issue. Or people deriding others for being on #blueSky which isn't properly proper centralized(tm) and har har dee har when that social network does something that allows folks on here to feel superior.
Gonna give it straight here: it's people like this that essentially make #fedi, as a whole, come across as a bunch of judgy, spiteful, angry nerds that want to be off in their own little corner hiding from the world and judging everyone who doesn't feel the same way. It's akin to that guy at parties who's seen the light and spends the entire time convincing others to buy a hybrid, or go on a keto diet, or try essential oils and yeerety sneer if you don't intend to smoke whatever they're smoking.

β€œWhat's your favourite instrument?”

It used to be the (electric) guitar. But my opinion on that has changed through the years so that I actually like bass, violin, shamisen and piano better (all generally in a rock/metal context).

Not really sure which is my absolute fave, though. Depends on genre/mood/who's playing

Just watched a Taiwanese horror-comedy called (English name) Dead Talent Society that was both a bit too ridiculous AND kinda inspired.

It was about how hauntings are like undead reality show productions: you have a team of ghosts doing stuff like flickering lights or acting as body doubles while the main ghost gets ready for the big scare (and trains to contort themselves properly).

It also had a ghost called Little Red Hiking Hood who looked like Sadako meets Cousin It πŸ˜„

Well, I finished one of the two "Starless" sequels I'm working on - the labyrinth one.

Biggest freakin' mess I've ever written πŸ˜… I'm almost ashamed of myself, but I see potential in it too, if I can get it there in the re-writes.

If nothing else, at least I only have one book to finish now, which is a relief.
