Chapter Twenty-Four - The Dead-Walker's Son A cold wind woke Idris, in the end. He shivered, croaked in displeasure, and was immediately shushed. “There now, Sir Idris,” said Lila’s voice. “There now. The winter is rushing in after you. Let me ...

The greatest achievement of Slay the Spire 2 so far is that I can play it easily while I edit my audiobook, so I actually did a whole chapter for the first time since November.

Well played, dev team. You have captured my ADHD in the most specific way.

Chapter Twenty-Three - The Dead-Walker's Son Lady Astridia Eremont did not run, or show any outward signs that anything was untoward. She stood very still, very silent, head high like always, hands behind her back. Even soaked through, she was p...

I think @gailsimone.bsky.social's posting is rubbing off on me because I keep having dreams about X-Men.

Mostly Gambit. Always Gambit.

Happy Pokemon Day to all who celebrate! I am dripped out of my mind in Gengar stuff and I'm encouraging my 7th graders to share their fave Mons

Chapter Twenty-Two - The Dead-Walker's Son Nobody needed to say anything. Everything happened the way the Queen planned it. Later records indicated that the battle occurred thus: Idris, Lila and Riette, with the trail of soldier-thralls, rode ...

Chapter Twenty-Two of The Dead-Walker's Son on this #deadwalkerwednesday!

Cressida makes it rain. Riette seals the deal. Idris finds his father.

This is the tenth year I have lived in America and my husband and I are saying how nice it is, on the tenth anniversary of my first Super Bowl, to say fuck the Patriots.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

Meanwhile, one small kid can turn into a full blown adult because of ancient Egyptian magic, and being the vessel for a pharaoh's soul makes you good at Magic: The Gathering.

Oh, and his granddad's soul got sucked into the TV. Amazing.

I'm watching Yu-Gi-Oh for the first time and all of this is just so funny to me.

Grown-ass man with the name Pegasus getting kids to fight each other, while he sits in his big castle drinking wine and giggling to himself.

Goals.

Part Five: Nuts and Bolts - XXXIV: Temples - Son of Songs: Innocence (Parts 1 to 10) The jungle got deep and dark quicker than Blake anticipated. It was better that way. That way, he could get truly lost, somewhere he was really alone, and he could start working out what he was doing ...

It's #sonofsongssunday!

Getting lost in the jungle is one thing, but stumbling across an ancient civilisation is entirely another.

Chapter Twenty-One - The Dead-Walker's Son Bodies sprawled all over the thin corridor of the pass. Idris let their music wash through him; now he was out of the pentagon, he felt empty without the aria in his stomach and cold without its warmt...

Idris gets back up. Lila takes a swing. A funeral is held.

I got the second scam email about my writing today and they are getting more sophisticated.

Real person with a real book club, but their likeness and club have been hijacked by someone using AI to try and get money out of self-pubbed writers.

Chapter Twenty - The Dead-Walker's Son This was the part of the plan Idris had not shared with the Gleesdale Court. Head ringing, he hurried to the centre pentagon. The artificial heat of the death aria, within him and without, made him wo...

Lila hits a sprint. Idris sees the dead. A monster takes flight.

Me: is a lot of my writing making more sense now?

Him: ... Some of it, yeah
