Sometimes the week just gets away from you and you wonder if you might have fallen into some alternate dimension. Maybe wish you weren't trapped there.
Help Jo find Alex. Do it.

I don't generally confine myself to specific genres - my currently available stories are an example of that: sci-fi, fantasy, horror, literary, and realism.

I dodge among many projects, both novel-length and short story. I work on what feels right in the moment.

Three Craft Fairs and a Little Reading Not sure there's a movie title in there, but this is where I'm at right now. Craft fair on Saturday, Craft fair on next Saturday, Craft fair on Monday the 16th. Oh and a little reading at Paige Memorial Library on Thursday the 19th. It is a lot of events crammed into a small space. I may have had a dream the other night of selling out at the first one so I had nothing for the next three.

Posted Dwarf Fortress 53.11 yesterday. I've been sick so it's a bit sparse, but there are dwarves should at least enjoy their quality foods more properly now. This is good.

David Payne's Out of the Dark is out now. Excerpt: Jo caught hold of the doorframe, their screams lost in the whoosh of air around them. It was all they could do to hold on. Alex wasn't so lucky. They flung off of the bed, and it was their eyes locked in on Jo in that last moment that Jo remembered most. Panic. Terror. And as soon as Alex was gone, so was the hole. The portal.

Out of the Dark is out now! Don't get caught up by the door. Let yourself fly through. Or hold on for dear life. One of those two.

Busy Season Approaches I'm 8 days away from the first of three craft fairs in two weeks. I've also got a book reading in the second week - so four total events. I'm both excited and nervous. This is the buzzing energy before the storm - no calm here. I've done all I can to prepare, and while I'll still be reorganizing my setup every event, I'm at least ready for that reorganization.

Looking at a publisher this morning (for short stories) who didn't require a "reading fee", but did have a "writer membership level" which removed/reduced basically all of the requirements for submission. Even if it isn't actually a requirement to sign up for the membership, it felt like it was.

Four panel meme of a hand reaching out of water. Another hand comes along and gives the first hand a copy of Breakfast & Other Journeys We Take. Then the first hand sinks into the water. Happy.

Breakfast & Other Journeys We Take won't save you from drowning, but it does have an ocean story in it. Pick up a copy. books2read.com/breakfastjou... #ShortStories #Collection #TwitchAuthors

YouTube does not like interesting content as much I would like. I'm still extremely happy with how the video turned out. I hope with time people stumble on it and wonder how they missed it.

To the people who decided to keep existing today (whatever day it is that you're reading this):
I appreciate the effort that took, and I'm glad you're here. 💕

To everyone that has never consciously decided to keep waking up every day: I hope these words never make sense to you. ❤️

Good morning, Beautiful.
How was your night?
Mine was wonderful
Waking up and getting some writing done.

I think that's how the song goes.

Cherries tried to kill me once (and best: it probably was not actually cherries), so I haven't eaten a single one.

Meme cover of Anthropods - one cube says to the other "Go outside and shovel!" while hiding in the ice cube tray. The other responds: "But it's too warm out there!"

Looking out a snow-covered window at a snow-covered background.

It's snowing and this ice cube doesn't want to go out and shovel. Maybe you should pick up a copy of Anthropods and read "The Cube". books2read.com/anthropods #ShortStories #Collection #TwitchAuthor #BookSky

Major snowstorm in my area. I guess I'll just write then. twitch.tv/telinartho
