- I've been saying the pushback against DOGE would just drive them underground and into the shadows. They're not going to stop. They don't care how angry we are, or how much we hate them. They're so close to their goals. It will take real force to stop this.
- #FantasyIndiesMaytober Day 7 As far as my AElitian stories, they are themselves myths of a sort. Tales of the god Durandios, his faithful companion Arista, and two fallen "angels" walking the world...
- Usually, my characters are warring with themselves as much as any outside conflicts. I'm a character writer, so I enjoy the psychology of difficult situations and/or mismatched personalities (grumpy/sunshine). For me, it's more about stakes than a single villain or antagonist. #writinglifemonthly
- #MayWorldbuilders Day 7 AElitian is, in some ways, a language that compounds. "Bela" means "a place," so many place names contain "Bela." The word for moon ("kan'nadadinal") literally means "false sun." And stars are "kan'nadadinalaenat" = a diminunitive plural for "moon" ("little false suns")
