“Life is an Olympic sport, for which you get no medal.”

“Luck of the draw”, does it originate from cards or from being faster “on the draw” in old-timey Western shootouts? It could apply to both.

I guess it’s appropriate I’m trying to come up with a short story idea for Creatures, Crimes, and Creativity on Friday the 13th, give the the story theme needs to be “luck”.

Feb. 13: How well do you sing? If you don't consider yourself a good singer, do you sing anyway?

Poorly-mediocre. I can hold a note (sometimes), but I'm often off-key or a whole octave off. I did a whole bunch of Christmas song spoofs in-character, as Elfest the Vorcha, though. That was fun since IDNGAF about being good, on-key, or accurate with the lyrics.

Do you use maps as reference materials as you write?

So tough... I'm a guy and genetically predisposed to avoid maps. But, my MC travels the world.

Fortunately, I have three daughters that I trust to get me to check a map.

Feb. 13: Do you use maps as reference materials as you write?

Yes, either maps I've drawn myself or maps I've commissioned.

February 11: What time of day is most productive for you? Why?

For , first thing in the morning. Everything is sharp and ready.

Come April, I'll be out of freelance work. Anyone need a freelance writer? I only talk about my erotica here but I am a biologist with a uni diploma and I have a background in biotech and pharma.

So I'll write something sexy or something educational or both, I'm your ho.

me?

They finally did it. Microsoft has successfully over-engineered a text editor into a threat vector.

This CVE is an 8.8 severity RCE in Notepad of all things lmao.

Apparently, the "innovation" of adding markdown support came with the ability of launching unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.

We have reached a point where the simple act of opening a .md file in a native utility can compromise your system. Is nothing safe anymore? 😭

„Amber” to powieść o śladach — tych zapisanych w ziemi, w starych dokumentach i w ludzkiej pamięci. Zaczyna się współcześnie, od młodej badaczki pracującej na pograniczu archeologii i historii, i stopniowo odsłania warstwy dużo starsze: wczesnośredniowieczne, północno-brytyjskie, naznaczone wiarą, przemocą i milczeniem.

I love making films and hopefully one day I’ll be able to make television.

THE WOMAN WHO KNOWS will be my first feature film. A psychological thriller in the lens of a chronically and mentally unwell disabled woman thrown into a murder mystery.

Support women making movies. Support indie film.

I'm supposed to be working, but something's getting in the way. Something too fluffy and adorable to move

I should be writing the 2nd book in our Underspace series (book 1 is available now - about a girl who finds the doorway to another world on the roof of her school - you might like it!)

But I think I have to stay here and pay attention to Molly. She's being highly persuasive (pic for evidence). I don't think I can talk my way out of this one...

Question on I intend to publish a public domain book, Myths and Legends of the Bantu. I think it's an important documentation of our cultures, but it has problematic and racist content. So my goal is to strip it of racism, fix some factual errors, etc. I can't claim authorship, original author has moral rights to that. I'll only claim editorship. But 1) Can I legally register a copyright to this edition? 2) Is this whitewashing the author of her racism?

The series is a young-adult sci-fi series that focuses on adventure and real science. While there are a few space opera elements, the majority of the science is based on real theory and astronautical engineering.

Five of the six books in the series have been published; I'm still developing the final book. Zack Jackson & The Cult of Athos is the first novel in the series.
