I make things out of words.
Science-Fiction author sharing work completed, planned, and currently in procrastination.
Also sharing shameless self-promotion.

Glad to have you along for the ride!

and, 4/
The entire letter looked like it was written using ChatGPT, and my spider-sense told me it might be a phishing attempt.
I may be dead wrong, but I'm going to go with my gut here.
Has anyone else had something like this happen? Some long and well-meaning letter that came from out of nowhere?

The email promised a get-together for November, with date and time conspicuously absent.
All I needed to do to learn more was click on an informational link.
No, I don't think that's going to happen. And I don't think I'm going to reply to this email, either.

They got a few things surprisingly close to correct, which surprised me since the work in progress is unpublished, unfinished, and unseen outside of my corner of the Cloud (memo to self: save all work to physical media, like now.).

Would this be a bad time to admit that I don't show up on film?

Almost there. At least with the first draft.

I agree wholeheartedly. Fresh roasted coffee is nirvana in a mug.

Strange as it may sound, I'm comfort writing tonight. I've met some charming characters in my latest short story and we're all getting together, chasing after an adventure.

I'm with Myles on this one. An edit function would be sublime. It would be a gift to be able to go back and correct our typos.

I love that movie. That one and Trick r Treat are on my annual Halloween list of moves to watch.

Halfway through a quartet of short stories I didn't realize I was writing two weeks ago. Just got permission to use the final story in the bunch and I'm aiming for a holiday release, knock wood.
Sleep, who needs it?

I think we can make exceptions for Stephen King and maybe Burger King.😉
