I exist on other planes.

I write books and make things for authors. I even have a few hobbies. Most of my sites are a mess but as a struggling creative, visibility is a fight for survival.

I haven't written a book in like a year. This year just got away from my. It doesn't help that organic traffic to my writing blogs is way down... but I'm excited to start again, which means fixing up my websites.

I've long thought that editing - or at least the proof/copy stage of fixing typos, punctuation and grammar - should not cost a lot and robots could do it better. I'm hoping to make a 100% free proofreading tool for authors, not sure where I'll put it yet. www.bookbutchers.com

For the past 10 years I've been trying to figure out how to make book cover design templates for authors... I still haven't managed, and now AI makes photoshop worthless anyway. www.diybookcovers.com

I studied Milton’s #antiking treatises, that influenced founding father ideology. It’s in my PhD thesis somewhere but I should dust it off.

I saw a really stupid sign so I made these. Want to see if people will accidentally share them without thinking too hard. #nokings
