Tweet of the Day, Unclaimed Metaphor Availability Alert edition. (Possibly NSFW)
A metaphor for what? …Well, that’s why it’s unclaimed! The possibilities are endless.
Uhm… it looks like this wrecked semi spilled a load of dildos and lube all over I-40! Great camera work, @news9! pic.twitter.com/bdFh3hGuNs

Mental health day today, tomorrow.
Going to try to get enough sleep, sit down and block out some stories instead of just writing blindly, and generally defocus myself. I need to do some time management work on myself, honestly. Best to do it now…

‘Sweet Baby James.’
I already did ‘Fire and Rain’ this year. Besides, I genuinely enjoy this song.
THE SPICE MUST FLOW, D&D Edition.
(Via GeekTyrant) We’re almost certainly going to be doing Spelljammer after this adventure is over, but maybe we can get this D&D adventure in, first!
Pumpkin Spice, Not So Nice
“It has been said that if one utters the words ‘pumpkin spice’ thrice while staring intently upon a reflective surface, a light-hued female will appear and droll on incessantly about her favorite things concerning fall.” –Anonymous
A chilly autumn night at the tavern. The insatiable thirst for Pumpkin Spice. Overly used seasonal tropes. Will you find only tricks, or also some treats?
…Yes, I am fully aware that the DM will tell me, “Not just ‘no,'” and then maybe come over to my house, just to throw something at me. Still: worth it.
09/13/2022 Snippet, BUZZ ON THE STREETS.
I actually got nothing done today. Too little sleep the night before. Going to bed early tonight!
Patreon!“I guess they could be hand-prints, Lucas,” I eventually said. “You think somebody came in through that window” — the very small, dusty window — “then crawled across the ceiling, to do… what?”
“Descended down a rope until he was over their target,” Lucas said immediately. “This place gets pretty dark at night, so he wouldn’t be seen unless the guards got too close. It’d give him time to quietly pull the nails up from the crate, grab the goods, then come back the way he came.”
“That sounds pretty specific.”
“I’ve had to do something similar, once or twice.”
I bit back a smartass comment, and instead looked up at the ceiling. “I see smudges, Lucas. Where’s the hook?”
Lucas thought for a moment, then brightened. “He must have taken it with him when he left. Leave no clues behind, right? Besides, it’d have to be enchanted. You know, to take the weight.”
My tentative spot at Fright Reads!
Not yet locked in stone, but I don’t really expect it to change. This is where I’ll likely be at Fright Reads:
Hope to see you there!

The THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER Honest Trailer.
Honest Trailers… were not fans.
I understand every single objection made in this trailer, but I didn’t watch THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER for any reason more serious than, “I want to get out of the house, and the movie theater is right next to a bar that serves a decent fried chicken sandwich.” Screaming goats and goofy jokes about ex-weapons? Yeah, sure, sounded like fun. It also made three quarters of a billion bucks without the China market, so we’re getting another one, sorry.

PS: Oh, just had this thought: Loki died in battle, he’s in Valhalla, that’s how Loki Prime gets back in the movies. Sounds easy enough.

A couple days left on DUTIES preorders and the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION super-sale.
Also: it looks like I might have copies of DUTIES available at Fright Reads! Which will be nice, if it happens. Obviously, I’ll have TINSEL RAIN there, too. Still trying to decide if I’m going to offer any particular sales there. After all, I’m pricing my books pretty cheaply now…
