That first short story submission to a real creative writing journal has been accepted. Details to follow. I hesitate to call it the start of anything, much less the start of something great. But it is enough to know that it could be a start of something.

A review of 2025 reading. Favorite overall; @melissacaruso.bsky.social's Last Hour Between Worlds. Meant to read this on the train to and from visiting folks, but stayed up most of the night of arrival to finish it. Absolutely compelling and fun, impeccably timed, wonderful characters.

Alright. First attempt at submitting creative writing to an edited journal, instead of dmsguild which will just put up whatever, completed. We'll see how it goes.

The carpal tunnel in my wrists, comes from corporate behests. My shoulder started clicking one day, and it just won't go away. I slept on the wrong side last night, so now my neck pain's a fright. There's ten pills a day for my back, for no reason at all I can track.

#D&D ideas; A horde of ghostly apparitions appeared suddenly throughout the city. The faceless ghouls showed no interest in the living, except to all unceasingly utter out the same haunting premonition: "Free... bet... with... qualifying purchase... go... arena... gamble... bet more... GAMBLE..."

A preview of the book of 20 DnD adventures I am writing up. This adventure occurs in an abandoned library and includes this table to generate the genres of its many bookshelves. It is very suggestive, frequently lurid, and more than a little silly.
