Periodic #introduction!

I'm Addison Smith, and I write SF/F/H. Lots of flash, some shorts, trying for novels. My stuff is weird and often about fish.

Some of my favorite stories!

Escape Pod 965: T-Rex Tex Mex / Mother Death Learns a Trick

If you bought 110lbs of communion wafers, I bet you could eat Jesus in 2026.
Historians estimate that Jesus likely weighed around 110 pounds and was about 5 feet 1 inch tall. This estimation is based on historical and archaeological insights regarding men of his time and region.

Sometimes I just need to go to bed at 6pm. Productivity can wait. I’ll have time for anxiety tomorrow. Things might not be better tomorrow, but for tonight I rest.

Two bits of news! My dystopian SF story about selling memories "Brain Leech" is out in Saros on 10/27. Check out the beautiful cover art below! Secondly, I woke up to the sale of my 2,500 word horror story "Traffic Stop" to Horrific Scribes!

The best thing you can do for your writing is to take good care of yourself. The work comes easier, faster, and better when you've got full bars.

Corollary: The best thing we can do to get more amazing art from our faves is to take good care of the artists.

That’s a good point. And in the case of a novel there are often parts I want to write, even if they’re not of immediate concern.

Willpower is hard. I’ve never had it, myself. I do believe it exists though. I think building willpower is my next betterment project, specifically the ability to “do the thing” when I want very much to do anything else.

"You will not believe your eyes
When ten million fireflies
Light up the world as we fall asleep
And they'll fill the open air
With screams of wrought despair
You'll think me rude,
But I will just stand there"

I decided to try a Themed Day. I have an Appalachian Horror playlist, a podcast about the movie Wrong Turn (hillbilly horror) and an Appalachian horror audiobook called Revelator by Daryl Gregory.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
