What I’m doing now
This is a now page, last updated May 21, 2026.
Loads of reading (aiming for 150+ pages a day), focusing on nonfiction — especially history and biography — and classic literature. Getting back into writing short stories, both literary and sf&f. Hoping to blog more often. So very sick of AI and hoping sanity returns soon.
