Meanwhile, I now have my Viper glam for the future. I love this update so much.

Got my PlayStation yearly wrapped and this feels like a decent description of the last twelve months.

An imperiled research station. An ancient world within an alien Artifact. Both threatened with extinction by a swirling black sun.

To save them all, Nick must ally with the broken and the betrayed to slay a digital god.

LEVEL: APOCALYPSE releases today!

I am a professional.

Upon starting edits, I always check to see just how many <get there>'s I left for myself. How many little notes, details, eye colors, hair colors, transitions, all need filled out.

Honestly? I've been worse to myself than this lol

Tried something new when compiling from Scrivener to Word. It, uh. Did not work out great.

Starting Octopath Traveler 0.

Ouch game. Why???

So this guy?

For the cover of THE RADIANT KING I wanted something creepy and subtle to show that the religious leader wrapped in gold might be more unhinged than he let on and asked Magali to draw in the base of the ritual bowl, of many hands rising up clutching one another.

FIFA just needs to add the blood.

Got myself a little present while Christmas shopping yesterday.

The kind of review that makes you smile (this one for THE RADIANT KING).

Why yes, yes those eternal siblings are very very messed up.

I had it posted somewhere, but @rb-illustration.co.uk did some lovely artwork for the series of the characters.

From my latest AI author book club spam.

I don't think they understand what the word 'free' means.

addendum: a screenshot of my chapters from THE RADIANT KING to give an example of how I label them (obvious spoiler danger lol).

Finishing up the third Astral Kingdoms book and I don't think I've ever had a series give me such complete and total terrifying freedom to do whatever the hell I want.

My wife got this terrifying ad for Temu and I think I know why they're giving it away for free.

Took this at Walmart yesterday, actually. There's no escaping you now. Keep conquering the world 🙂

Amazing how much they loved the book...given that it hasn't come out yet.

Been posting these as I get them, but this one might just take the cake.

Who the fuck is Aiden? What the hell is "The Banner of the Broken Orc"?

Basic facts jumbled and mashed together as the LLM tries to fart out an email that ends with a lame attempt to start a dialog. Just the worst.
October 28, 2025 at 1:50 PM
Oh look yet another, and they swear, really for reals now, they swear they aren't a marketer. Their email just has a bunch of weird pauses and overly flowery language that all of these emails just happen to use.

Also this is how he died, it wasn't exactly a "yeah you could live thru that" kind of thing!
October 27, 2025 at 5:51 PM
Glancing over what I wrote today, an admittedly hard day of writing.

I am a professional author, he said professionally.
October 27, 2025 at 5:15 PM
Not even posting all of them that I get, but this one is just...incredible in its broken english and obv cut and paste insert book title here aspect.
October 26, 2025 at 6:25 PM
Always, always, always so flowery and worshipful. Just ugh.
