The greatest challenge Reform Judaism currently faces is a thorough reckoning and redefining of its relationship to the State of Israel.

The second greatest challenge is going to require a sober & unsparing appraisal of the pervasive & often destructive influence of the humble acoustic guitar.

Taking a chance on a pulp sci-fi paperback with a lurid cover you find in a thrift store's book section is always worth it. Either it's a hilarious collection of mid-century neuroses or it's The Einstein Intersection.

Same deal as the rest of my books really. There's only so much shelf space.

It's more that it's close enough to WFRP, which my group is already playing, and I could use the cash.

The Elric stories hit very differently when you're a brooding, hormonal but able-bodied adolescent vs when you're approaching middle age with a variety of medical conditions that require an ever expanding cocktail of drugs to keep functioning and are also even sadder and angrier at the world.

I like to throw in something bizarre and experimental in the first few chapters to clear out anyone who thinks every difference of opinion is a "plot hole." I mostly do it for myself but I like to think that somewhere out there, a reader I don't like is having a bad time.

natasha @natasharedmane.bsky.social · 6d

you have to kill the devil's advocate in your brain when you're writing, you have to smother the imaginary bad faith reader that lives in your head. Trying to please the voice that tells you the person reading your work is ignorant/malicious is a mind-killer. There are better ways to create cohesion

The montage of the people in the control room doing bumps of coke and toasting their success intercut with the increasingly traumatized and dead/injured "away teams" in the hazmat suits felt very *Mothership*.

I've been listening to the audiobooks at work and the relationship between Elric and Stormbringer is... kinkier than I remembered.

Also they should never do a live action version it should be animated.

On the whole I enjoyed it, though there's a thing Moorcock does in it where he describes a character performing an action, making a gesture or an expression and then telling the reader what it signifies, rather than trusting us to get it or just leaving it nebulous or unspoken.
