I'm going on 2 months of unemployment after I was laid off from my dayjob. Though I'm worried about money, I greatly enjoy having enough time to focus on my writing.

I'd appreciate your help to make ends meet. Consider leaving a tip on my Ko-Fi.

Every day I get multiple emails and DMs from marketers wanting to promote my books, and nearly all of them are generated using AI bullshit. If you can't even write your own messages, you aren't touching my books.

I block every single one of you who do this.

Unicorns are pretty, but their rainbow farts smell like rotten eggs. And don't buy that "attracts maidens" stuff. My unicorn only attracts 45-year-old construction workers named "Hank."

An otherwise surly frost giant I know loves to breakdance to Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby." Unfortunately, he's destroyed a few villages in the process.

On the new episode of Banned Camp (a comedy podcast where we read banned books and try to figure out why they were banned in the first place), we read Chapter 6 of Brave New World. Here are 5 things we found that relate to what we're dealing with today...

I have it from a reliable source that dwarves love sugar cookies. But no sprinkles! The sprinkles get stuck in their beards.

"Kilgore is a master of dread. His stories build to a fever pitch with a satisfying release. Kilgore's work holds the same intrigue and suspense of Edgar Allan Poe & W.W. Jacobs." -

There was a time when I found Pinterest useful to stimulate my imagination, finding interesting fantasy and scifi images.

But now it's filled with all sorts of AI-generated crap, and I hate it. Deleting my profile there.

If you can get past the stench, warts, and eating of raw carcasses, orcs really aren't so bad... My pal Gragth likes cross-stitch and Vivaldi.

I loved the interviews I've done so far. This week, they sent the most clicks to:

A. J. Barlowe's book, A Series of Rooms: books2read.com/ASOR
m/m YA romance
&
Kaos Emslie's website:

These 2 aren't my most viewed this week, but people are interacting!

Dulu the Barbarian boasts 250 kills, most of whom he ate afterward. But he flosses every time. Healthy teeth and gums is important in the Great Wasteland.
