Catching up on some gems I should've read years ago. Very satisfying!

It's Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower (1999) at the mo.

Not much for #YA so not surprised to have missed this one. So far, so good. Very good.

Do you like werewolves?

1-2 player epistolary, and journaling games that use tarot cards?

The final letters between two remarkable people at one of the worst times in history--Helmuth James von Moltke and his wife Freya were both part of one of the leading internal resistance groups to the Nazi regime. He was arrested in early 1944 and moved to Tegel Prison in Berlin in September 1945 to face trial; this collection contains the letters exchanged between husband and wife during that time.

Medium, and now Mastodon gives writers such a great platform. I wrote this little epistolary in honor of that.

Just took a nap and dreamed that Cangse Sanren, while pregnant with Wei Ying and travelling around with Wei Changze, bumped into Madam Lan and Qingheng-jun, who were on the run after Madam Lan had killed the Lan elder. They hit it off, but in the end, when the Lan caught up with them, Madam Lan decided to go back and submit to punishment. :( Cangse Sanren was very upset.

The whole thing was narrated in a letter to her unborn son, so it was also #epistolary / #artifactFiction. #MDZS #dreamlog

It’s time to face the ugly truth:

You douse me and strike
a match. I free fall

like a bird with its
wings on fire. I remember you

This is #DeadLetterSociety nearing completion. Just a few more things to do and then I'll send the digital pdf's out into the world next week. (Eta for backers: Thurs/Fri, others: Friday onwards)

It has been *so much work*, but the end is in sight.

Except I then need to go back to telling people what it is. 😅

Okeedokee, the pre-order link is up. The book won't be out till June 1st, so more online links will go live the closer we get to the release day. That'll include the link to the print book as well.

Preliminary revisions and edits are done, and it's now just final clean-up sweeps left to do with the manuscript. And that's one massive weight off my shoulders, at last.

Looking for a gorgeously-written short novel that dares you to decide which subgenre of speculative fiction it is? I was reminded today of just how much I loved This Is How You Lose the Time War.

First time using ChatGPT for the first time. For ideas for a form letter. Might use some parts.

Just thought that was worth noting.

Epistolary
/əˈpistəˌlerē/
(of a literary work) in the form of letters.

This is an older one, but I recently updated it. I wanted to try an epistolary, but through phone-based SMS, with all the features and foibles that entails.

Address Unknown by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor.

Epistolary novella about two art dealers and the rise of Nazism in Germany. Reads as fresh and unexpected even today (despite the very familiar subject matter). A surprise!

Originally about a Rossetti poem, this painting is SO PERFECT illustrating a Dracula cover. This is the edition I grew up with in my household, it’s been in my family as long as I’ve been alive. https://www.wikiart.org/en/edward-robert-hughes/oh-whats-that-in-the-hollow
