Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

Just finished Dark Theory by @wickwelker.bsky.social. This book took me by surprise and at about 800 pages, it took also some extra time to get through. But I loved every page and every single time I entered that world. This book has layers. Things kept unfolding, until the very last page. Recommend

Happy book birthday to the legend. Already got my copy locked and loaded up next in theTBR. Great series.
