Here's what it looked like when I popped it open.

I've never understood this attitude. I stand with Jason Asano on this subject, I would take a Rainbow Wave over rotgut any day of the week.

So, what DID happen? This.

I've been discussing Book 2 with friends and have had some revelations.

It's writing time! But first, a little of the tonic of Muse.

Wow, if this were me, you couldn't waterboard that info outta me.

Today's chapter ended quite well IMO.

My very first thought when I saw your skeet:

If you insist, random takeaway container lid...

Breaking news: Three studios ensure they will never see another of my dollars.

Can I propose a double billing? If we can get both Keanu and Summer on board we've got a major blockbuster.

I'm feeling like I need to update the cover, honestly.

Woohoo! My time to shine! If you liked Carl, @erinampersand.bsky.social made a great infographic on what to read next based on what part of DCC you liked. Add to that, her own Apocalypse Parenting series is really good.

Big rats are the best rats.

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using, with no explanation.

I know that if the punishment for a crime is a fine, it essentially means "legal, for a price" and that they target those who can't afford them. But as a motorcyclist, I can only see these crimes as selfish. Put down the phone, wear your seatbelt. Save yourself and others.

...yet.

Did I ever mention that we actually had a rat called James DeGriz? He was fully grey, not just hooded.

Pocket puppies!

There's still good in the world.

I'm pretty chuffed about this response to a prompt that one of the Prompt Engineers (not their actual title, but one they deserve) in our author discord came up with. They asked what you'd do with "Thunder Down Under".

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Oh for sure, I don't want to be that sort of author who's like "rate me five stars or you're a bad person", I was just reminded of the meme:
