Whisky, my first #beta-reader, wishes you all happy #holidays (while judging me for being a lazy #writer).

#Soma by #Frictional Games. Keep thinking about it even after years. It’s the most haunting #game I’ve played, with a perfect ending. Although it’s classified as #horror, there are no supernatural ghosts, no cosmic terrors: only a relentless reflection on the nature of #consciousness and mortality.

Last hours for the #intothedark #kickstarter, an anthology of 30 dark fantasy short stories!

Let's start the season with something appropriate. #reading 💙📚

Recently, I received a (form) rejection letter that was surprisingly long, almost like a summary of a psychiatry manual on managing antisocial individuals. Being an editor must not be easy. #writing #authors #writingcommunity

Among the stories included in this anthology is my own "The Jormungand Foundation", a tale about a dragon, an archaeological expedition, and the things we can’t leave behind. #writing #writingcommunity

We’re honored to feature 30+ incredible voices in Into the Dark. Emerging & established authors alike, weaving unforgettable tales of shadow & resilience. Kickstarter launches in 4 days! Will you step Into the Dark with them? Subscribe to our newsletter for more allworldswayfarer.eo.page/j557f

This feels important. Not sure why.

My latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books

Lower Decks’ win is the first time in 30 years that a Star Trek story has won a Hugo Award. The last one was “All Good Things” in 1995.

Since it's almost Midsummer...

A must view for writers is Brandon Sanderson‘s introduction to fantasy and science fiction writing class. Sanderson teaches at Brigham Young University. In 2020, Sanderson record all 16 lectures of this highly saw after seminar and put them on YouTube for free. Check it out! youtu.be/-6HOdHEeosc?...

Another author might have turned this story into a 600-page novel. Susanna Clarke did it in under three hundred, and the result is perfect as it is. A powerful imagination and an elegant execution. Inspirational. I wish I saw her work in bookstores more often, but maybe it's better this way. 💙📚
