Events
The first half of the month has been eventful. For one thing, my birthday came, and went, and left behind a new desk chair and a new extra large bath towel, both good practical gifts that I can use. I had dinner with my wife--who was in the hospital at the time, not COVID, but in for a few days. The patient menu is actually fairly good, and you can order a guest tray with a rather full meal on it for $7.
Meanwhile, author Eric R. Ashley and I agreed to collaborate on my next Multiverser novel, that is, the next one I'm writing; I have one, Con Verse Lea, ready to publish when I finish releasing In Verse Proportion, and I had started working on the one to follow that, which because it continues the stories of the current book I am calling In Version. I had started that next book but wasn't sure at all what I was going to do with any of it, and so having an infusion of his ideas has helped significantly in driving it forward.
On that, In Verse Proportion advanced from chapter 105 to 110, two chapters each for Derek Brown, Joseph Kondor, and Robert Slade, with another behind-the-writings look in mark Joseph "young" web log post #448: Inventive Versers , covering chapters 85 through 105.
Also on the web log, of course, there was a song on the first of the month, one from my high school days, #447: The Song "When I Was Lonely" .
I have a web log post on cruel and unusual punishment drafted, which I will probably post within the next few days. I've also drafted an article which lists old fantasy movies in danger of being forgotten, and am working on another on science fiction films, but have not yet decided whether they will go to the web log or to the RPG-ology series at the Christian Gamers Guild.
The Guild also published Faith in Play #55: Marriage , on the exploration of the concept of marriage within games and stories. The Chaplain's Bible Study moved from John 19:42 through 20:10, and included Musings: Children about how they imitate our lives, and Musings: Chair , about the aforementioned birthday present and my reactions to expectation and hopes in that regard.
There is a new time travel movie analysis well on its way, which might see the web site before next week. All of this was accomplished with an injured knuckle that severely impaired my typing for at least a week.
Finally, of course, you can get more immediate updates on what has been published by following my Patreon blog or other social media.

The Ides of Mark
Goodreads was nagging me, as a Goodreads author, to start another web log--I say another, because I already have the mark Joseph "young" web log http://www.mjyoung.net/weblog/ where I dabble eclectica
