working on the thing i stopped working on to work on the other thing i started working on again to take a break from the thing that i started (now continuing) to refresh the well on the other other thing i began to forget how much the other thing was frustrating me

Congratulations to our @leokaaolive.bsky.social for winning inclusion into Brave New Weird vol. 3. Find their Issue 8 story "They Remember Faces" in the great print book soon

YEEEEHAW! Certified Weirdo time. I'm so grateful to the folks at Tenebrous for considering and selecting my story, 'They Remember Faces,' among the featured.

My story with Heartlines Spec is up for free now on their website! 'The Colour of Longing' faces the darker aspects of ambition, of jealousy, and how those fears can warp you. Does victory taste as sweet when you've sacrificed everything for it? www.heartlines-spec.com/the-colour-o...

Hosting my own story on medium as it seems the original site that published it is down. It's unaltered from its original form, so hopefully anyone that enjoyed the original is able to find it again here! medium.com/@leomustblog...

Pro tip: you can buy like, three or four indie games for the price of one AAA title.
