Morning. It's Friday, so there's fresh fiction up. This time a riff on spies and double crosses, with a mild side serving of total absurdity. Enjoy! jonathanwood.substack.com/p/straight-u...

Morning. Today, a brief post about one of my favorite things: action scenes. jonathanwood.substack.com/p/lights-cam...

Morning. Monday means another audio edition of Something's a Little Off. This week: tumorous buildings. Because... erm... reasons. jonathanwood.substack.com/p/a-virus-of...

Morning. Today's micro-fictional offering: a history of an event that never happened. Enjoy!

Today's post about writing is a Venn diagram of D&D nerdery, LOTR nerdery, and psych major nerdery. You know who you people are. jonathanwood.substack.com/p/being-choi...

Morning. Today's audio venture: a history of the universe in sentences of 5 words or less. Because... why not? Enjoy! jonathanwood.substack.com/p/min-max-au...

Hey internet hivemind, a question - my two kindles won't connect to my home wifi. They will connect to my phone as a mobile hub. I did recently replace my modem, but everything else has connected to it fine. Any suggestions?

Morning. Much of the point of these weekly stories is to set creative challenges for myself. Today, I tried to tell the history of the universe in sentences of 5 words max. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to pull it off, but I sort of love what it did to my prose jonathanwood.substack.com/p/min-max

Morning! Today: some thoughts on maintaining your mojo the day after success. jonathanwood.substack.com/p/alternativ...

Morning. It's Monday and last week there was a Friday, and last Thursday it was Thanksgiving here in the US, which all means that I have a trash horror-comedy story up in both text and audio formats. Enjoy! jonathanwood.substack.com

Morning! Some quick thoughts about the mental balancing act that the act of creation requires. Enjoy! jonathanwood.substack.com/p/i-am-the-s...

Another Monday, another opportunity for me to witter nonsense in your ear. This week: denials, dismemberment, and disbelief. Enjoy! jonathanwood.substack.com/p/we-strongl...

Morning! It's Friday so I wrote another mini story. I will say, I'm happier with this title than I normally am... jonathanwood.substack.com/p/we-strongl...

Morning. This is a question I've been asked a few times, and because the answer is a little more complicated than you might think, I wrote it all down.

Morning! Why not kick off your week with the audio one man performing a deeply meta play that clearly requires two people? Unrelated, but how does marketing my own writing work again? jonathanwood.substack.com/p/somethings...
November 17, 2025 at 2:34 PM
Morning! I've got more free Friday fiction up. This week a deeply meta one-scene play. Because... why not? Enjoy???

Morning. What's that? You were just thinking that you could really do with a bunch of paragraphs about paragraphs? Well that's a weird coincidence... jonathanwood.substack.com/p/when-do-i-...

I've got a little Monday-funny up today. Six minutes of me making an idiot of myself with a microphone in the form of a fantasy story about dragons. Enjoy! jonathanwood.substack.com/p/overplunde...
November 10, 2025 at 2:54 PM
Morning! It's Friday again, and so I have committed fiction again. This week: dragons and greed-fueled disaster (incidentally based on the original concept for my Dragon Lords triology). Enjoy!

Morning! Missing Halloween already? Let the spooky season linger with today's story. jonathanwood.substack.com/p/trick-or-t...
November 3, 2025 at 2:37 PM
Oh look, Halloween falls on Friday. Probably a good day to post a themed story then, isn't it? Well, I thought so. Today: a haunted house, some fun phobias, and candy! jonathanwood.substack.com/p/trick-or-t...
