In addition to writing fiction, I also play rally games and sometimes share footage of my progress. Here's a short video of me trying 3rd-person gameplay in a storm with my racing wheel in a Rally 1 car, just to see how it went.

I actually share a snippet of the lore I drafted in that post, and I plan to share a snippet of my progress with every update as long as it makes sense. Please like, share, and comment with your thoughts or questions here or on Substack!
I've never felt the need to create a "lore bible" for one of my stories until now. Read my latest Substack post to learn about that and my progress writing my cyberpunk novel so far. #writing #substack #cyberpunk #scifi

If you need any proof that "AI" is not actual intelligence, see this video of comedian Taylor Tomlinson. The YouTube AI believes that anyone saying "You go, Taylor!" in the comments is a Taylor Swift fan. It doesn't even have the reasoning skills or a toddler. It's just fancy Google.
Big news! I'm breaking down the anatomy of my #cyberpunk novel trilogy, from 20-year-old inspirations to the recent iterations, and revealing the premise! Read the full breakdown here, and consider sharing with your friends!

A drawing of Nori Kaga and Brie from the game Cook Serve Forever. Nori is karate chopping cucumbers with one hand, while squirting a bottle of mustard into a salad bowl with the other. Brie is in the background thinking to herself "So focused..."
A comic about Nori playing a bowling video game. She is holding a controller and looks focused, but then crashes out and says "Argh! How could a game about bowling be this hard?!" Brie holds the controller now and says "The death music goes hard though."
A drawing of Charlotte Kaga and Chef Rhubarb giving each other death glares. The two women are holding a wooden spoon and a whisk respectively.

Incredible!
I bought a secondhand Thrustmaster T150 steering wheel and pedals, booted up Dirt Rally 2.0, turned the HUD off, and played the famous Iso Oksjärvi stage of Rally Finland. It felt like I was actually barreling down a dirt road in a Lancia Fulvia HF, and it was incredible.

Sorry folks I forgot to share my latest post here about my mental health.

You can finally experience the full story that I wrote so many years ago! I'm so proud of that hard work, and it's so crazy to think that it's finally out in the world and I can talk about it! I should do an AMA or something...
Sometimes I'm jealous of people at the office who buy hot, delicious restaurant food daily for lunch, but I'm ALWAYS satisfied eating the sandwich I made using ingredients I picked--including vegetables we grew--on sourdough my partner baked. 🥪❤️
I tried to think of a witty response, but my anxiety wouldn't allow it, so I'll be sincere instead. This sounds like an absolute dream, and I will try harder than I have on any other application to show that I'm worthy of an interview. In any case, I hope you guys find what you're looking for ❤️
Cook Serve Forever just got another HUGE update! Lots of new story beats, locations, foods, improvements and so much more! You can grab it now at 55% off- enjoy y'all! 👨🍳 👩🍳 🌭 🥨 🥪 🍜

Haha yeah I own five of them, not all of which are in working order (yet!) and I still find myself looking for more.
I'm trying it out for my novel's rough draft because I find that I get too distracted on a computer and lose my train of thought; or I overthink everything, then delete and rewrite the same sentence over and over. This helps me push forward and get all my thoughts onto the page.

Back at it tonight.

I was one book shy of my reading goal in 2024 (I underestimated how huge Dune is), though I'd guess that I spent more time reading in 2024 than in past years, which was the *actual* goal anyway. I'm excited to continue the trend and get back to reading The Expanse.

#authorsky I need help making this site a better resource for my writing - what accounts, communities, and other suggestions can you share to help fill my feed with cool creative writers, editors, etc?
I haven't made any progress in the personal projects I hoped to work on this month due to sickness, holidays, etc. and even though I *know* that's okay, it doesn't *feel* okay.

To celebrate the end of the year and the upcoming release of the reworked Cook Serve Forever, I wrote a surprise issue of How To Write a Game that's all about developing the best ideas for your story. Read it here:
