New story on my website! On the final night of analog TV in the United States, a young boy tries to set a desperate man free. jakemorris.neocities.org/writing/nigh...

Been messing around with Twine lately, I keep running into a problem I frequently encounter in my minimal coding experience where doing something that sounds complicated is actually pretty easy but doing something that sounds easy is like trying to decode an ancient cursed tablet.

Two new things to announce: 1. New poetry! 2. New website! Check out BOTH at the link below: jakemorris.neocities.org/writing/poet...

Did a writing sprint yesterday to get an idea out of my head. Pretty impressed w/ myself that I managed over 1300 words in about two hours. However I have NO idea how that compares to the average word count per hour. Solution: start doing it more often and compare to my own previous results.

Two more rejection emails. Guess I'm going for a stupid long bike ride while the weather's still nice.

Theoretically, if I had an extremely specific idea for a horror zine, how would I (theoretically) do a submission call for it

Ever since recorded music attained fidelity on-par with live performances, it could be argued that nobody "needs" to learn to play an instrument. But luckily we decided the world is a better place when we teach each other how to play instruments so we still do it. I feel the same about writing.

Made a lino cut for my story in Frontiers of Fright: A Southwestern Horror Anthology, "Jack Durham's Dead". Check out the anthology if you're into weird west or horror!

Finding any and all excuse to use the 2009 DTV transition as a key piece of plot is the name of my game this year for writing

This story I'm working on is shaping up to be my new longest piece ever, already at 3k words and I'm not even halfway through it.

Forgot to mention it here earlier, but my latest story, "Jack Durham's Dead" has been published in Denver Horror Collective's latest anthology of weird western horror, Frontiers of Fright! You can check it out here: tinyurl.com/sp7wjty5

No Spotify wrapped for me, all the music I listened to this year was either on the MP3 player I bought off ebay or youtube uploads of the Thief soundtrack.

Wondering what the general number of rejections is that you need to accrue on a piece before you have to retire it to live out its golden years on your own website. This story is on rejection #4 for the record

In other news yet another 20 year old video game has me in a chokehold. My problem with Transport Tycoon Deluxe is that I'm always one more train station away from solving public transport
