Replying to @ReReadingWolfe
@ReReadingWolfe probably been said before but red Sun for Apu-punchau matches up with him and his city being brought forwards to severian’s time? Or does the text not support that?

@Robbotron have I got some news for you.
You're in a completely dark room. You open your eyes. The color you see is not black. It's called 'Eigengrau' (color code 16161D) and is probably the result of rhodopsin (light-sensitive molecule) in your retina changing shape and sending signals to your brain. #funfact #science

Just realised I missed the ‘t’. Explains why the spellchecker didn’t like it.

Don’t know what the fuss is about. Clsopdrd is one of my favourite historical characters.

So glad to be back in the uk because I’d almost forgotten what it’s like for every goddamn thing to go wrong with the trains.

5am wide awake with a sudden understanding of what’s not working in the current wip which is grand except I’m mid-foreign trip and kind of need not to be sleep deprived right now.

Pretty sure Embalming Brother is a space marines unit.
This is a 3200-year old attendance sheet found in Deir el-Medina, Egypt. Reasons for worker absence include "embalming brother", "brewing beer" and "bitten by scorpion".

The Sylvaneth are one of the weirder Age of Sigmar factions but they do have some fun insect stuff. I particularly like that their wings and even quivers are just separate bugs gripping on.

Major cosmological rethink has shaved a level of bonkers-ness off current book which is a shame but also suggests it was bonkers for bonkers’ sake so probably for the best.

Apologies accepted, Captain Needa.
Has Princess Anne been the cool one all along? She is actually pulling this look off

I haven't drawn many kings in my October sketching but I hope these two reflect my general feelings about the institution of monarchy.

Day four of the new book and it feels like the wheels have stopped wobbling quite so much as it finds it’s proper pace. Of course everything in the plot is about to catch on fire so that may not last…

Started a new novel project this week. Slightly tentative so far because of the usual oh-god-the-exposition phase my books often go through. Because there is *a lot* of hard sf stuff going on in this book.

For those in the US, I believe both Lords of Uncreation and City of Last Chances are formally released today!
