Completed #NaNoWriMo 2023, used it to get down a draft text an SF Novel called “Volition” that’s been brewing in my head for a decade. 😁 Slowly working on second draft now.
Also working on a couple short stories and poems, but who isn’t, right? :-)

Not much to report since I last posted, but I’m going to do #NaNoWriMo again this year, if unofficially and not with actual involvement with the offical thing. Just going to do 50k words. A couple friends are also doing it this year, so it’ll be good to encourage each other.

I’ll likely post here about it again, it worked well to help create some level of accountability.

Also, I have a short story publishing before the end of the year, more details to come soon.

Adam Serwer’s essay “The Cruelty Is the Point” changed the way I inhabit the world. I already had the pieces. I already understood them, sort of. Yet when I read his writing, something clicked for me. I see the world differently after reading it. It’s a piece that is worth rereading now, all the way to its powerful final paragraph: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/the-cruelty-is-the-point/572104/?gift=YexU1QpjGQRNRj0UQX9KySYo41dY00dLj1hik24YwpE (Non-paywalled link, ht @[email protected]: https://archive.is/bZyGQ) 1/2

Hmm honestly I haven’t done a ton of micro fiction, but I do write blurbs for imaginary movies from time to time.

Some similar principles. ;)

I mean, would it kill you to let Cathy tell you about her ferrets?

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Superintelligent

I keep running around to Zoom meetings and in-person meetings, and every time I come back to my office, there is sparkly snow gently falling outside the window, onto quiet, snow-covered pines. It is so beautiful and peaceful (especially after the chaos of running to many different meetings with extremely different groups of people), and I wish I could share that feeling with all of you.
