An Action-Packed June

6/30/2026

We did so much cool stuff this month! And next month we're going to LitRPG Con, so the march of the cool stuff continues!

During this month, the thirteenth anniversary of my writing career, we ran the FINAL Cradle Kickstarter, which blew all our expectations out of the water (thanks, btw), and gave away tons of books.

Also, I continued to edit Overworld for Tor and work on The Commander for you.

There's more! I spent a week of the month working with some up-and-coming authors who are developing their first books. I bet you didn't know this, but authors hatch from spotted eggs. Like Yoshis.

Anyway, busy month. And that's not counting the other week I spent tending a cattle ranch, the other other week where I worked as an airplane wing gremlin, or the other other other week where I did nothing but play Subnautica 2.

How many weeks were in this month again?

Someone must have received the ACME WeekCompactor for their 13th birthday. Despite calls from the scientists that wormholing time is not possible unless you purchase the wormholes they haven’t made yet or exceed the speed of vitamin C - a local janitor mumbled that the WeekCompactor is just a removal of sleep and addition of caffeine.

P.s. Don’t use the ACME one unless you’re an indestructible coyote.

What does it take for a rando to play through Sub 2 with the Wights?

All authors hatch from eggs?!? I did not know that.
But it does explain the smell writers usually have.

How did you like Subnautica 2? Do you think it was polished enough for release?

Oh good, I was worried authors hatched from striped eggs. Spots make much more sense.

In which we ramble on.
And by we, I mean me.
