Started the second pass-through on TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION edits.
Rather fewer of them this time, which makes sense, yes? The first pass-through is where the editor nukes all the really bad stuff; the second one is where felicity of style starts to make an appearance; and the third is apparently dedicated to me desperately trying to remember when to use the appropriate dash. I apparently have a dash problem, and a carriage return problem too. Which is good! I imagine it’s a bit of a burden to be perfect.
Reminder: the pre-order store for TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION is open, over on Backerkit!
Patreon Microfiction: ‘Okay, So It Was ALSO A Pickup Line.’
Would ‘Okay, So It Was ALSO A Pickup Line’ work in real life? …No? Look, sorry, I was never exactly what you’d call good at picking up girls. My wife almost had to hit me in the head with a club before I realized that she was interested in me. So I wouldn’t use this site as a font of dating wisdom, sorry.
Book of the Week: REVISIONARY.
REVISIONARY! By, well, me. With a horror-themed illustration for each story, too! I have some pardonable pride about how this came out. Whether it’s justifiable pride… ehh. I dunno?
My REVISIONARY Cthulhu Mythos chapbook is now available in print!
REVISIONARY, in all its Cthulhuoid beauty! Huzzah!
…Although personally I’d suggest pre-ordering it on Backerkit. It’ll be signed, and there’s a discount.
In the e-mail: Texas Otherworld.
In case it isn’t obvious, I’ve been trying to read more indy writers lately. Seems prudent, right, since I am one? Anyway, Texas Otherworld bills itself as ‘Urban Fantasies in Slavic Texas,’ which at the very least piques my interest. Worth a look, certainly: I’ll try to let people know what I think of it.
The print version of REVISIONARY is off for review.
I’ve been letting REVISIONARY hang over my head for about a week longer than I should have. The problem was that checking a proof copy for errors is simultaneously tiresome, frustrating, and futile. It must be done; you will catch errors that have managed to elude you thus far; and you cannot hope to catch all the other errors that have managed to elude you thus far. There’s a joke in this business that the best way to instantly find mistakes is to push ‘Send,’ only nobody’s laughing. Or at least they’re not laughing with humor.
Next up: second pass-through on the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION story edits. That link offers a discount on signed copies of REVISIONARY and ANAGNORISIS, by the way. Just saying.
Tweet of the Day, Yeah, I Get That It’s Fake edition.
Or at least it doesn’t have any meaning, really. What’s happening here is that somebody arbitrarily assigned musical tones to some bio-electrical processes, and this is what came out when you hook mushrooms up. But, yeah, it sounds like you’d expect:
