Thank you for taking the time to read it and comment!

Yeah, the MC is at work (a marble factory). There’s a short prologue (a speech from the plant manager) that makes this clearer, as does the blurb (neither of which are included, so the confusion is merited lol).

And yes, thar be calamity!

One of the hardest parts of writing a book is crafting a catchy hook.

What do you think of the intro to my #dystopian #fantasty novel, The Eye of Atlas?

Would you keep reading?

From the nottheonion community on Reddit: Amazon worker dies on warehouse floor; colleagues continue working around his body – ‘Let’s get back to work’ Explore this post and more from the nottheonion community

I started writing #TheEyeofAtlas in 2021. Back then, my satire felt a bit…heavy handed, if you will (and even if you won’t).

Turns out it was prophecy.

I’ma gotdamn oracle, y’all!

I don’t really read westerns, but I have Lonesome Dove on my to-read list.

My favorite western movie is either 3:10 to Yuma or Open Range, though.

The Storyteller’s Stone: Myth, Alchemy, and the Healing Power of Writing For the last four years, I’ve been writing a novel.

For all my starving #artists:

The world needs us now more than ever. We’ve been tricked into thinking our worth is measured in money made. Don’t buy in; create from the heart, say what you need say.

Even as a writer with an extremely vivid imagination, I still can’t fathom how it must feel to not wake up in the innermost sanctums of Hell, wherein every morning is met with fresh horrors that pile never-ending atop a failing infrastructure made of lies and robber-baron greed.

But I bet it’s nice

I know the comment about was supposed to deter people from tuning in to this asshat, but I don’t think anyone supporting Trump at this point gives a single iota of a shit about the GOP’s obvious hypocrisy in regard to sex trafficking and pedophilia.

If anything they’ll enjoy it more.

This is why we’ll never see the files; billionaires fund politicians who make laws to protect them both from justice.

The whole thing has to be dismantled and rebuilt.

Y’all seen the Doomsday Clock lately?

Says we’re eighty-nine seconds to midnight.

Can you believe that?

Those folks over at the Bulletin of Atomic Sciences sure are optimistic, aren’t they—a bit too glass-half-full? We all know we’re much, MUCH closer than that.

Only MacGruber can save us now.

Probably a totally normal procedure. Please don’t look into this or think about it, please. Nothing to see here, y’all. Just go back to hating trans and non-white people, please. Look! A squirrel! Damn squirrels wanna take yer jobs cause they’re from Mexico! Everybody’s talking about it.
