So I have a book out! You can find details and links to buy it at my website and my linktree, both of which are linked in my bio!
Have you read my book? How about my other book? Links at lauraeprice.com/books
Oh yeah, the prompt: You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
That’s the entire plot of the last show I watched. I’m definitely going to have to escape on my own. (At least I’ll get a dog out of it.)

In other news, I am reading a book that’s 1,000+ pages long, and I have to wonder how many pages it would be if the author wrote paragraphs longer than 2 sentences.
Will my desire to know the Big Plot Secret outlast my irritation at the way this book reads like a Bluesky thread? Guess we’ll see!

Does this mean that @scottyd89.bsky.social is now gayer than @jkasonetc.bsky.social? Or is marriage disqualifying both of them?

In The Story & the Engine, the Doctor refutes the Barber's claim to be Anansi, Dionysus, Sága, Bastet and Loki with personal memories of the first four. He leaves out Loki: a hybrid trickster, liar and shapeshifter, normally male but sometimes female, who lives among gods but isn't one of them. Hmm.

Posted this before, but in my not so humble opinion you can never have too much Mongolian heavy metal throat singing.... The Hu, Wolf Totem. Side note they also do cooking videos "Hu's In The Kitchen".

… I am in this picture and my kid is laughing at me.
It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Yeah yeah gender norms, it’s still hilarious that when the husband goes down with something, I’m the one bumbling around like an idiot with no idea how to heat up soup.

I have also found the story that I trunked before using its most basic seed of plot for “The Drowned Man,” so we’ll see how that one reads 10,000 years after grad school.

“Good” is subjective, here; I was trying so hard to be Robin McKinley by way of Neil Gaiman (it was the late 90s/early 00s, don’t @ me); it’s kinda adorable. But you can see Current Laura in there, percolating. Yes, child, eventually you’ll have your own voice, & it’ll be very into blood & violence.

It is really weird to read the Ancient Texts of Laura, man. For one thing, these stories are where I got my internet handle, so I’m reading about the history of the “seldnei” like “but that’s me?”
Then we get to the half-finished stuff I abandoned JUST AS THINGS WERE GETTING GOOD WTF PAST ME?!

I need to create some folklore for the current book to reference, so I decided to dig through the ancient stuff I cannibalized back in 2007 to write the first version and see if there’s anything in there to screw around with.
