won't get my NESSes until new year, but in the meantime there's my Kobo. Chimquar the Lionhawk, too-forgotten Sword & Sorcery hero from the 70s-90s, walks again in my article 'Raw: Janrae Frank and Chimquar the Lionhawk'.
See my post for what else I have out and about.

The was the most talk about faith I have seen in a film for 20 years.

I was amazed and pleased.

And I hate religion
Three minutes into Wake Up Dead Man Josh O’Connor has a speech about what he thinks faith should be and it made both @margueritekenner.bsky.social and I, both as ‘ex’ Catholics as it’s possible to be, go ‘ohhhhhh fuck yeah. That’s it.’

The Tombstone novel is beautifully illustrated by @artgroves.bsky.social, so it's worth it for that, tbh! 💙
Get the wrestling novel!
Or the Tombstone novel!

Q for #Arthurian folk: I remember reading in #Malory about a Queen riding by in the distance, with her armoured women knights, heading for Camelot to joust with the men in a tournament. But I can't find it anywhere, and begin to wonder if I wasn't dreaming...
Can anyone help with a reference? ⚔️

I worked fulltime in demanding jobs (HR then tech writing), but that enabled me to accumulate enough super so I could retire at 55. I live on my pension now.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

Anyway I think part of why Master and Commander is so great (on top of the source material and the casting) is that even though Weir was shooting an action movie, he wasn’t afraid to leave a lot of languid “hey, doesn’t this just *look*cool?” moments in it

Excellent (and sadly true) article by the erudite Michael Winkler @micwink.bsky.social in WAtoday. The only solution I've found so far is for authors to celebrate themselves and each other. My friends, we all deserve it. 💙

Your new book is out! (And now you feel like a ‘first-class numpty’)
The long-awaited moment of publication can bring emptiness, anxiety and a surprising lack of fanfare.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
