I perform one experiment with […]

September’s Sibilant Sausage

Pretty sure August was eating locoweed. The “Run Your Own Mail Server” Kickstarter owned most of my hide this last month. Not all of it. A patch on the back of my neck remains freehold. I managed to make a few words on what I’m calling #projectIDGAF, but mostly it’s been investing in production stuff. […]

August’s Acquernous Sausage

Wow, is it raining. The word “acquerne” has nothing to do with water, but I believe the acquerne are crazy damp and none too pleased. Anyway. In the name of Dog I’m tired, but here’s where things stand. Most importantly, I learned how to pronounce “floccinaucinihilipilification” and “hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.” That should guarantee I live my next […]

Video Tier becomes Private Discord Tier

Attendance of the video hangouts has dwindled since the pandemic, so I’m switching that tier to a private Discord. Why Discord? Because everyone who gave feedback said Discord. If you backed me for the video hangouts, I’m sorry. I will not be hurt if you downgrade or stop Patronizing me. I will be having irregular […]

July’s Japish Sausage

Because this all certainly feels like a jape. Last month, I hoped the RYOMS Kickstarter might round out at $50k. It hit $76,883, with 1966 backers. $25K of that was in the last three days. Plus, there were a few hundred sponsors. This is what we in the writing business call “freaking insane.” My reaction […]

June’s Jitterbug Sausage

“The deck is clear, projects are ready to go, I’m ready to WRITE!” One lovely Friday night in May, She Who Must Be Obeyed finished teaching for the summer. The following Sunday, at five AM, she broke her leg. You look alarmed, so I’ll say now: she will fully recover. The next couple weeks were […]

Apologies on Video Call

A couple Fridays ago was my wife Liz’s last day of teaching at the college for the spring semester. Summer break, yay! Two days later, 5AM Sunday morning, she put her foot down wrong and broke her leg. A freak accident that could have happened to anyone. I’ve spent most of the last two weeks […]
