Audio book. For your ear holes. Consider picking it up and giving it a listen.

If you see this, post a rabbit 🥕

Everything’s going to be alright. Life has been curveball after curveball but I’m learning to be patient and kind to myself. I’m going to get back to my writing habit today. Just 500 words drafted is the goal. Bit by bit.

The Dark Side of Super's audio book is available RIGHT MEOW. This is not a drill, this isn't even a dill pickle, this is the real thing. Narrated by Molly Briar and produced by Adler Audios, you do NOT want to miss out on this! AT ALL! It's so good! books2read.com/darksideofsu... #BookSky

I'm not going to ask you to buy my books today out of solidarity with MSP. If you're curious about my new world or new story, I've uploaded a short that you're welcome to have for free. No interacting with problematic corpos. Come hang out with some faeries. On me. bookhip.com/WZHCWJN

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Alright. I’ve let myself wallow in my state of things enough. I need to find my joy again. Joy in writing, in particular. I’ve got a short work day today, let’s hit a small goal of 300 words drafted down. Who cares about deadlines. I’ll finish it when I finish it.

ICYMI! Book 1 of my complete fantasy series The Tipping World on sale through the end of the month on most platforms! Break into the epic for just $1.99! books2read.com/rl/The-Tippi... mcburnell.itch.io/a-path-of-en...

The long middle of my book beckons. Wade into the swamp of it again. Alright. Let’s get lost. I am drafting again.

I am worthy of making meaningful connections. My anxiety is a liar. I can do this. I’ll take my time but I can do this, and start having fun too.

Brain is really attacking me tonight. “There’s no point in putting yourself out there, give up, you’ll be alone forever.” But I have my reply: Patience. There is zero chance I won’t meet my people as long as I keep going out. It’ll happen.

I’ve been pushing myself too hard. Pulling back, enough to calm my mind down and regain my center. I can manage these changes piece by piece, not all at once.

I’m going to beat this anxiety. It’s working hard to keep me down. It wants me home, it wants me alone, it wants me the same as I was for yrs. But that would cost me everything I haven’t lost already. So, no. I’m going to live my life, overcome the anxiety, save what I can, embrace what must change.

very tiny kobold cleric with a very high pitched little voice: hi can i heal your wounds please 🥺 you have health missing 🥺

How doth it feele To be an experte yn a dying fielde? And how knoweste thou That it ys ovir whan you kan not let go? Kan not let go, kan not stop, or unrhyme Love ys learned ovir tyme Til thou art an expert yn a dying fielde.

It is right to hate the government, not the people, of an autocratic regime, but be careful not to minimize the experiences of a bombed, terrorized people their regime attacks, including the psychological damage of not a single former friend from that regime reaching out to see how we are.

Writer's log, day 1: I've started writing my novel! I have a plan set. This shouldn't take too long. Writer's log, day ???: I've lost count of the days. I've forgotten the warmth of the sun. I've written 92,000 words. There is no end in sight.

What’s with the monotony, life? Remove a character or two. Change the setup. Explore opulence, for instance.

really good at reopening wounds with blood curdling hope

Using AI is lazy, but it's amateur lazy. Join us pro laze-ers and *don't* use AI instead, just like you've already not been doing for statistically all of your life!

And so my campaign to overthrow my social anxiety disorder must take the next step: initiate a conversation with someone at the bar lol (gulp). Nonsense. We can do this. And will do this. My marriage and kids need a man who isn’t ruled by his mental disorder. Won’t be me any more, yo.

#WritingCommunity #WritingTips Writing emotions can be hard. Why? Equal parts writing advice, life advice, and hot take, but: it's because we don't think about our emotions. We're not told, trained, nor supported to sit with our emotions, comprehend, and process them. Work to counter this. ⅕

And just like that, because some reader left kudos on my decade old fanfic, my mood is uplifted. Thank you dear reader. And I still can’t believe people are somehow finding my old fanfics for reading, haha.

I’ve been practicing having an open heart. Be vulnerable. Make art. Let it hurt. Be there for my wife most of all, and my kids. And don’t abandon myself. Be selfish in a way that always seeks improvement and embraces change. Sorry. Giving myself a pep talk. I need one ok?

I need a good nights sleep. There’s still hope, from a personal level to the larger ones. I can’t give up. I must try try try.

The Dark Side of Super's audio book is coming soon. Like, really soon. Working on proofing / finalizing it with my narrator and then getting it distributed. Hope you're ready, #BookSky, for a dark, gritty, realistic audio book about super powers and their costs. Soon™

I think it’s the end. I think it’s just the end. I’m getting the consequences I deserve for relying too much on on her for too many things, for not changing her life for the better enough, for the war dragging on, for the kids being too difficult to manage. I have to let her go.

I am so fucking lonely. Yeah, I know. Go get it. What right do I have to complain.

Finishing up my first read of 2026.

Greetings from Kyiv, and from the warmest spot in the apartment (the wardrobe). -11 °C outside. Spring is wanted. I’ve just finished writing the Sunday Letter – honest, but not easy to read. Will send it later.
