📝MY WRITING FORECAST✍️ 2026 🔵 Asphodel: Definitive Edition—Spring, updates throughout year 🥩 Animal Rites—August 8th 🤖 MARTIN and Me (working title)—December 2027 👽 Wine Dark Skies—TBD 💣 Body War—TBD

I feel so out of touch with mainstream society that it genuinely alarms me sometimes. Most days, I feel like a hostile alien quietly existing in human society. Who the fuck are these people. What are you talking about.

When I was in China, I bought my dad a bilingual edition of the sayings of Chairman Mao. It was a great gift. He went nuts over it. But now I want one for myself and I cannot find one online…

Got told by the doctor I need to cut back on my drinking the same day I started getting a weird sharp pain on my bottom left side. But I googled it and that’s not where the liver is. So something else is wrong.

The bones are THERE for the AI story, which I’m tentatively titling USER ERROR. Work will begin on that this Wednesday. I plan to do some vlogs on my TikTok/Instagram and some weekly wrap up blogs on my Patreon. After this piece is finished, it will be on Patreon for a month, then my website.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Thank you, as always, for being interested in my work. November’s gonna be huge, and 2027 will be even bigger. Stay tuned for more! Tomato for visibility

Chapters 1-7 // Chapter Seven on its own Well, we did it gang. Chapter seven is done. We wrote evil sex. Now, the action has begun, and every chapter after this one is INCREDIBLY exciting. I’ll be posting chapter seven on my soon to be rebooted P4tr3on as a fun bonus. Stay tuned.

I don’t miss being nonbinary. Regardless of how you present, people automatically and subconsciously sort you into the category of male or female, and, if they can’t at first glance, they punish you for it.

i found liberty biberty dead on top of my car. i called about an investigation or a toxicology report or something and they said to just put it in the garbage and not worry about it. another thing i gotta deal with

Obviously I’m glad my aunt’s husband doesn’t have cancer anymore but I don’t think he should tempt fate by using his second chance at life to campaign for Greg Abbott

Went to the doctor’s office after this. They took my blood pressure and it was CRAZY high to the point where the doctors got scared. didn’t have the heart to tell them I was annoyed bc I unthinkingly used gendered language around this cis girl and one of her alters started yelling at me in Czech.

Wine Dark Skies chapter seven should be done this week. A sneak preview of that should be on my soon-to-be rebooted Patreon in the coming weeks. Don’t worry, though—if you’re broke but still want to stay in the loop, I’ll be posting a fall update on my website. Then we’re doing something different.

I haven’t published something since 2013. (Don’t read it; I was eighteen.) But I’ve had an idea for a short story for ages now, and it’s topical, and November is coming up. I’m gonna try to write the whole thing, tail to tip, in a month. I’m gonna do a little cheating and write an outline beforehand

If I finish the second draft before November, I’m gonna see how much of the WDS second draft I can get through in one sitting. Finishing touches on the short story and Asphodel Chapter Fifteen will be in December. Asphodel chapter fourteen will drop somewhere between now and the end of the year.

Tenebris Somnia is cool and the corniness of the FMV sections is generally charming but I know they did NOT phone in a cameo from the priest from FAITH just to have him say “it’s mortis time” aloud. Come tf on

Replying to @jordanjamboree.pittbert.gay

one time my girlfriend was waiting for a bus in Pittsburgh and looking at a martial arts advertisement and a guy in a public works truck rolled down his window and told her “don’t go to that dojo, I challenged the master and he was weak as fuck”

ASPHODEL: Chapter Thirteen Brad’s relationship with Terry is escalating, rapidly outpacing his ability to communicate. When his history comes back to haunt him, though, he reaches a critical choice: step into the light of the future, or remain consumed by past mistakes. tinyurl.com/56znnwep
