I thought I wrote it in here, but I guess not. Rosaline is blonde and Jack thinks of her hair as gold. Sometimes liquid gold, sometimes a veil of fine gold... He's a little dramatic about everything, and that gets bumped up when it's about Rosaline.

In one of my unpublished pieces of fiction, I coined the portmanteau "apologloat."
It's when someone wants to apologize for screwing you over, but also gloat about it.
I gotta find a way to work this into one of my actually published stories.

Autistic unmasking isn’t “letting everything out.”
It’s the slow & challenging work of stopping self-erasure.
Unmasking means learning which environments cost us our health and which ones allow us to stay.
If unmasking looks messy, that’s because the mask was holding everything together.

This week is a bit dark for me emotionally. I tried to express that here, but with a positive twist. That the dark clouds will recede, no matter how sharp the cliffs, everything will eventually become a little brighter.

I'm betting someone will tell me just to make sure I can never say this again, but I don't even know where to find ChatGPT. I don't know if it's a website, or a program or app you download, or what. Because I have never even wanted to look at it.

The village that doesn't have a name also doesn't have a mayor, or anything official. Jack usually ends up managing things when a manager is needed.

My family may not really understand how I experience writing, but they are very supportive when it comes to how I feel about sales.
If I had to choose only one of those for them to understand, that would probably be it. It takes a lot of pressure off of me.

Today I get to unveil the UK cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!
The art is by the legendary Stephen Player, who has done art for Barker and Pratchett. I adore how he shows off the different personalities of Garrodigh's heads!
It comes out in the UK from @arcadiabooks.bsky.social this July!

I guess it wouldn't be a weirdbook if I always knew what I was doing.
Less about what it looks like, more about the calming experience of doing it.

Writer here. On this most hallowed #PortfolioDay, I’m keeping an eye out for a comics artist who likes architecture and ghosts.
And, in case you thought artists weren’t important, I present some of my own very best drawing.

These kinds of responses are pretty much a mental reflex for Jack. Especially when he thinks the person he's responding to is so serious simply as a performance.
