This remains one of the best twenty-minute videos on YouTube. This guy is a MONSTER. How the hell did he get so good on so many instruments?

I don't think I've ever seen this level of dedication to careful sound design. Stunning work.

Time lapse of full build of my studio, back in 2022. Wow, that was SO much work... but worth it!

[#]WritersCoffeeClub Jan 6 - What’s your current writing project? How’s it going?

Oddly enough, I was reviewing it over the weekend, intending to resume work.

This book is ODD.

There's a 90,000-word "prologue" of nine independent short stories before the real story pulls them together.

When the story starts, the inciting incident is such a major plot twist that it would be a spoiler to reveal it.

See? Unmarketable. But I love it so much and want to finish it!

[#]WordWeavers 3. Share something writing-related you’re proud of: an achievement, a beautiful passage, a compliment, etc.

I made a cartoon book featuring 100 three-panel strips about the two hemispheres of a brain bitching at each other a lot. Hardly anyone's bought it, but friends of mine have told me it's funny, and I, of course, find it hilarious.

(Thinks: yeah, I should have mentioned this when people were buying Christmas presents, shouldn't I?)

[#]WritersCoffeeClub Have you ever made up something in a story which has come true in real life?

Well... one of the chapters of my WIP mentions "the Great Tundra Pandemic of 2028". I mean, I wrote it several years before covid (yeah, it's taking a while...) so that's kind of close :-\
