04/06/21 Snippet, PROCESSING DUTY.
Bad blood!
Patreon!“HEY! DIZZY!”
A table on the other side of the room suddenly jumped up an inch or two with a clang and a clatter. Jack started a little; I would have, too, except I knew how Dizzy spent most of his time in here wedged into something, and tinkering with its guts. Besides, I could hear him swearing as he stood up.
“Dammit, Slugger!” he huffed at me. “I was in the middle of something… oh. Hello, John.” His voice needed only three words to go down forty degrees.
“Hello, Isaac,” said Jack, just as carefully. He looked like he wanted to say more, but that wouldn’t have been smart. The higher-ups are real keen on everybody at the Site getting along, or at least not stick knives in each other. That was probably the only thing that kept Jack and Dizzy from each other’s throats, and I don’t mean that as a metaphor.
In the Mail: BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS.
BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS has arrived! I’ve wanted this supplement for a while, now. Just… not enough to spend hundreds of dollars on it, mind you.

04/06/21 Revisions, MORGAN BAROD.
Finished Part I! Which was originally twice the size in the draft, but MORGAN BAROD is a three-part novel, not a two-part one. Also had to do some serious rewrites of one character there, but it was necessary. This is why alpha and beta readers are a thing: the book’s better, once I swallowed my pride.
I’ve started in on Part II, which is also “Morgan Barod and the Eldritch Tome” in TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION. Which means, naturally, that I am thoroughly sick of seeing it at this point. Edits and edits and more editing later…
The GODZILLA VS. KONG Honest Trailer.
I guess Honest Trailers doesn’t wait anymore, when it’s streaming. They also understand the fundamental thing about GODZILLA VS. KONG: this movie cannot be judged by the usual criteria. It is about spectacle, pure and simple. They also picked up on the retro-conspiracy theory, which I kind of wish this series would go and run with. I like me a good Merovingian fish-man plot movie…

Yeah, had to spend more of the day…
…making sure the newsletter was finished up in time. Between that and the chapter revisions I ran out of Monday. It happens.

PS: Okay, I lie, I also went outside because it was beautiful out.
04/05/21 Revisions, MORGAN BAROD.
Chapters 7 through 10. The next one is gonna require some serious revision, though: my alpha reader flat-out refused to buy the identity of one character. I’d fight it, except that she’s right, and we both know it. That’s gonna mean a name swap and some text rewrites, but that’s all right. They call them ‘drafts’ for a reason.
Excelsior!
Patreon!The ‘That’s Not Her’ LOKI trailer.
At 2:06. The hair’s not right. If it is her, it’s from another point in the timeline.

Today is Newsletter Day!
As in, the day I send in the SCA Baronial newsletter. Not a bad task, just time-consuming. It also helps me keep track of what’s going on in the Barony, which is nice, because I sometimes have trouble paying attention to stuff. But there’s always last-minute things to do…

PS: I dunno why I’m telling you this, either. Probably because I spent the morning making sure I didn’t miss anything.
