Stuff that happens on a train
I wrote on the train yesterday, as one does. These things happen. I’m sure I’ll have more to say about the whole enterprise later, but tl;dr – I had the building urge to try a new flavor of something, and we’ll see where it goes. This came from my train writing. Speculate as you see fit.

Musings on historiography
I am, by training, a historian. I am also an anthropologist and a political scientist, but by far the most formal training, time, and money spent has been as a historian. Yes, I know I’m a writer, too, but that is a state of being, not my degree(s). But it also does certainly tie into being a historian. Why? Because historians write—and not just a little. Historians write a lot. Part of…

Novembers past and November to come
It was very weird this week to be struck by the sudden realization that I hadn’t spent October thinking through and planning for another round of NaNoWriMo. Up until last year, I had spent almost every October for the last twenty years that way, deciding what I wanted to spend 30 days writing at least 50,000 words on. My first NaNo was in 2003. My last was in 2023. I had a good run–“winning”…
Thoughts on the promotional landscape
as good of a time as any to share my list of activities I do during what i like to call Scheduled Soul Maintenence to avoid burnout
go on an aimless bike/ride/walk - move your body, do it for as long as you feel like it, discover new places near you weather that is a frog or a cafe
watch a new movie/read a new book/listen to a new album - get inspired, excercise having opinions and longer attention span, break out of consuming content and make a choice about what you want to expirience
create something in a medium i haven't used in a while - get out of a habit, rekindle a flame you haven't been upkeeping, making a friendship bracelet counts
go have a fun new drink/snack - arguably most important, have a little treat without rush, slow down and focus on physical sensations, treat yourself in a way that isn't landfillcore
meet with friends and/or go to a place where you meet strangers - human connection is good for you, (maybe some casual sex if you like that/try something new with your partner)
make some bad art - create for the sake of creating without any expectations
play an instrument - this can be anything that makes you reach a kind of flow state
go see something you haven't yet - get to know the cultural/geographical map of your area, this includes events, places, or just anything that makes you go out of your way to expirience something new, can be like a viewpoint or it can be a museum exhibit, anything you find cool
cook/bake something new - nurish your body, break out of cooking habits and routine, make it an event, plate it nicely too and i would like to point out that none of these have to cost more money than your usual lifestyle.
Septembers
There is something about Septembers, A time of year where things seem to change For good and bad But always, for forever. Never just the single drop Always the ripples That become the wave Become the flood. Twenty-four Septembers This September And nothing will ever be the same.
Rewrites are hard
For this one, the title really says it all – rewrites are ridiculously hard, worse when it’s book 3 of 7 fully posted books in a serial, the first two of which have been lightly polished and unleashed in both ebook and paperback formats. What series is this, you ask? Awakenings, of course. A serial and series so long in the making, the winding road of starts and stops and restarts and…

i wanna know what 20 year old dehydrated research assistant runs the @jstor tumblr account. show yourself, gandalf.
that some people respond to any well-foreshadowed reveal with “ugh that plot twist was so predictable” proves bad faith criticism has rotted their brains to the point they think it’s bad writing if they can correctly identify information the writers were intentionally giving them
Sometimes the point of the reveal is not to shock you. Sometimes the point is anticipation of the reveal. You know it’s coming, just not when, how, or what the consequences will be. And sometimes that can be so much more interesting than not seeing it coming at all.
Honestly if you figure out some of the patterns and twists before they hit, could be that I’ve done my foreshadowing job and you were paying appropriate attention.
Shel Silverstein predicting ChatGPT in 1981
I love this because like 99% of this kind of paleoart is patriarchal Man the Hunter type fantasies but these guys are just like “fuck it we’re outta here”
we have not changed.

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
We often eat pie at work...for morale.
"As a treat" implies a special occasion, a temporary state. "For morale" makes the joy essential, because you have to have good morale to keep going.
4800 players, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony Speedrun
its not even music anymore it’s just a shockwave that kills you instantly
reblog this to beethoven blast your enemies
“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you
"how did you get into writing" girl i've been tormented by the visions since i was eight years old
This is so real.
In want of a title (that might end up being Broken Things)
More of that little “brain why are you like this” project I posted the other day. There’s been over 10,000 words on that out of me in a week. That’s generally a very interesting sign. Sirens woke me. The air was thick, heavy—misting rain and humidity and heat and smoke. Flames crackled too close to be safe but my movements were sluggish, head ringing. The sirens sounded so far away and yet…
