I'm an old male droid.
I write fiction and non-fiction. The fiction here is fantasy and SF, ranging from flash to novel length. Most months I have a short story in @Ooorah 's Tevun-Krus. I am currently updating my novel, Song of a Poisoned Star. My non-fiction is my Idiot's Guide to Line Editing, which is how I'm learning to edit. I want to make you a better writer! And, as a side effect, me. Although: be aware that this won't be long for this world, and will soon be taken down and replaced by something amazing.
Everything here is mature in that it features adult themes like tax forms, ennui, swearing, irony and some mild violence. In everything except for Poisoned Star there is no horror or extreme violence; that gets a little heated, so be aware. I don't ever write about, you know, certain parts of human anatomy.
Maketh Glad is featured on the SF ambassador's page; River Ghasts is featured on the fantasy ambassador's page. Idiots Guide is featured on the Adult Fiction page which used to be an ambassador's page but isn't anymore.
I am old. I don't know who BTS are. I don't want to, either.

I am a week older. I look back upon my youth of last week, and I laugh bitterly at its folly. I look at my old, old hands and my old, old laptop, on this old, old train; and I press the old, old butt...View all Conversations
