I am legitimately surprised I never put this up before (I wrote it something like twenty years ago). That was always the fun thing about In Nomine: the French version of the RPG might have been deeply satirical, but the American version always had plenty of room for meaningful religious sentiment. While still being heretical as all get-out, of course. But if Rudyard Kipling’s allowed to write religious fanfic, then so am I…

Ah, The Quiet Themes of Geomancy. I’ll say this for being an unpaid teacher’s aide: I now have a much better grasp of geography and earth science at the sixth-grade level. Which is embarrassing, in its way. Still, if I didn’t know the fine details before and I do know them now: that’s good, right? Better to be educated than ignorant, surely.
Getting back into gear, I think. I got to be careful about the snippets, though. Don’t want to give anything away.

Anyway: I recently replaced my copies of the last two books in the series (they somehow managed to fall into a washing machine), so now I’m rereading them. Good, alt-history/time travel fun.
I like the look of ALTER EGO (or THE DARING DOUBLE LIFE OF ACE ADAMS). Pretty much literally: it’s a cheerfully retro superhero comic, complete with a 1950s aesthetic and style. It’s funded, but every little bit helps, right?
Anyway, two days to go!
‘Going in the Record’ is even worse than you think. It didn’t just grab everything you’ve ever posted. Oh, no. It also grabbed everything you wrote, but then deleted before hitting ‘Send.’
Continue reading ‘Going in the Record.’Money’s come in, so it’s time to start constructing SKUs and setting up the Backerkit store and the rest of it. I also should be getting chapters soon, and once that happens things start to move along. We’re well on track to fulfilling TINSEL RAIN early, but if I want that to stay on track then I had better get cracking, right?
I’ll put up links when they’re ready. In the meantime, there’s my Amazon page.
Mostly spent getting my barony’s newsletter in final shape, emailing people about stuff involving the book, and general fiddling with stuff. But at least everything I had to do today, got done. That’s not nothing.
Hopefully the coming days will be more conventionally creative, though.
