I HAVEN'T BUILT A PUPPET IN AGES SO NATURALLY MY COMEBACK PROJECT IS KERMIT THE FROG, THE MOST BELOVED PUPPET EVER CONSTRUCTED, NO PRESSURE

THE BEST STORY I'VE EVER WRITTEN IS ALSO THE ONE NOBODY WILL PRINT (And I Think I Finally Know Why)

THE DOORS ARE OPEN (Imaginarily): Book Club Begins With a Sapphic Regency Romance That Has Dinosaurs In It

THE CRYPTID CATALOGER IS LIVE (And This Time I Wrote Twelve Chapters Before Telling Anyone)

MY EXECUTIVE FUNCTION IS A BROKEN ELEVATOR AND THE LLM IS THE RAMP

THIS MUST BE WHY ALL INDIE AUTHORS ARE RICH: A Publishing Plan, Such As It Is

I KEPT LOSING TO STREAMING OPTIONS, SO I BUILT A TINY DICTATOR TO PICK MY TV FOR ME

"I KILLED MY LAST SERIAL TWELVE YEARS AGO. NOW I'M MEDICATED, AND THERE ARE CRYPTIDS. (Introducing The Cryptid Cataloger)"

MY BRAIN IS A MEMORY HOARDER, NOT A MEMORY PALACE (And That's How I Ended Up With 30 Unfinished Novels)
