Punches keys and hopes for clarity. Never wanted water once.
It’s not so much that Dolph Lundgren playing a Witcher is frying my brain, because the wig’s not half bad, it’s that he’s from the Cat School. Should’ve gone Bear School, for sure.

Best experience I had publishing a story was with @bcsmagazine.bsky.social
The editor of @bcsmagazine.bsky.social once said this:
"...don't bend your own style so far that it saps the individuality that your voice in my opinion has. A vivid and unique sense of voice to me is a rare and precious thing, that makes a writer's fiction come alive."
That's stuck with me.
