The Daily Grind - Book One Preorder
As of today, the preorder for The Daily Grind's first ebook is up on Amazon. Paperbacks as print-on-demand will become available in about two weeks, and I'll have another update then. There will also be an audiobook version coming out, though no preorders for that as of yet.For obvious reasons, I am both intently excited and deeply anxious about this whole thing. And, fundamentally, this is only happening because of all of you. It's been a while since I've given everyone a heartf...

“Is the nature of what’s real in how it starts or how it feels?” -The Stupendium, Open The Sky-_____James pushed himself up onto his elbows, goosebumps covering his skin at the sudden cold that had dragged him back to wakefulness. He forced his eyes open, ignoring the itchy feeling of small bits of dust or dirt stuck in his eyelashes, and took stock of the situation.It was still quiet around them, though the mist had shifted and the top of the hill that James could see when he tilted his h...

“Stick with Trigger and you’ll make it!” -Full Band, Ace Combat 7-______James was breathing heavily as he neared the top of the hill, asphalt under his feet feeling just a little bit like it wasn’t fully solid. The others were at the bottom of the hill behind him, in a small loop of the path where there were actual benches to sit on.They were tired. Mauro, tough looking dude that he was, could barely keep walking. And he was the one who wasn’t hurt. Sienna, Zari, and the man who still ...

The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind. Especially when we don't know what's going on. -Waymond Wang, Everything Everywhere All At Once-_____They didn’t move right away. Partly to give everyone a breather, partly so James could refill one of his magazines with bullets Harlan gave him that they said were ‘alright, but not the most important memories’, and partly because the front lawn of the house they were heading toward had stood up and started draggi...

Break next week for mental health reasons._____“Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person that you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. We have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. We have never seen a totally sane human being.” -Robert Anton Wilson-_____“He’ll wake up when he wakes up.” James said, crouched down in the middle of the road. He didn’t sit.

Not sick enough to take a break. Maybe a break in the future, but not now. Just a little breaky. Eventually.____“No, you fucking asshole. This isn't a game and you're not the hero. You don't get infinite chances to do the right thing. That's not how the world works.” -Kim Kitsuragi, Disco Elysium-_____Assembling everyone on the sidewalk was a nerve wracking task.

I am sick. Next week might be a break, as I recover from this suspiciously relevant illness. We'll see._____“I am an anarchist not because I believe Anarchism is the final goal, but because I believe there is no such thing as a final goal.
