I hope an #Introduction will help us get to know each other. English major who actually worked seven years in law. I enjoy #Animation, #Reading, #SciFi and #fantasy. Some of my favorite authors are #Tolkien, #CJCherryh , #ElizabethMoon, #JohnCWright, #GeneWolfe , #PatrickRothfuss , #JoanneHarris , and #KimStanleyRobinson.
I enjoy #cooking , #writing , #gardening, and #BirdWatching , and have done so while living in Japan, the US, and Australia. Pleased to meet you.
I am proud to present you with an interview with an incredible @adapalmer straight from this year #Bazyliszek convention, now available as a #solarpunkPrompts special!

One of the scariest moments of my life was when I fled #boise #idaho to #portland #oregon with nothing.
I was #homeless and desperate, and there was nothing left for me there but bad memories, and very few resources for someone poor.
I had exhausted all my options, and I was just trying not to die.
Still recovering from #opioids I got on a Greyhound to a shelter I had lined up in advance, and stepped from a desert into rain.
All that effort and fear just to have a bed.

This is a delicious tribute to the sensual semi-colon. Enjoy!
"Witness this gorgeous specimen by Christopher Marlowe, in ‘Hero and Leander’:
Come thither; As she spake this, her toong tript.
For vnawares (Come thither) from her slipt.
And sodainly her former colour chang’d.
And here and there her eies through anger rang’d.
That slight, erotic pause after the first ‘thither’; it’s heavenly."

Uhhhhh so I just went on a really long rant on my blog about why I don't like Meta platforms. 😆
It's called "8 reasons why I think Meta platforms are pointless".

Parenting is tough. Parenting a child who knows they're the protagonist is a nightmare. #gloryinthethunder #gamedev #writing
A thread.
'The Daughter series ♥️'
'Catch A Broken Dream And 'Rewritten It': The Abandoned But Not Forgotten — He Lives'
The little boy's Guardian:
"He's still alive she said. I will find you here. Protect him she said, so I keep you safe. Death is not for you to meet, just yet, she said—like those who wish to end you tried—but, The Knowledge. The Divine Ones will be here soon. Learn and listen well. Then, you will carry her light. Embrace your destiny."
The Daughter PT. IX ♥️
From the manuscript:
We are here in His name and to her aid. She, who had freed us from centuries of slavery by humans shall not be harmed by those filthy ungrateful beings. Not a drop of blood nor tears. As she said, "A breath of life for a breath of life."
This war will see more freedom for our kind. She keeps her promise, she fulfilled The Prophecies. The earth shall be their deathbed.
From fragment of my creative work 1995 - 2020.

What if you built your life, so that rest was a part of the strategy. What if you didn’t have to push, or stick to the same routine every day. What if you didn’t have to burn out or crash. What if you created your life around your cycle, your mood, your energy levels. What if you created from softness, intuition and your own truth.

New blog post time!
This week's game is Götzendiener, a PC Engine CD game with lofty ambitions and curious execution. This isn't what you'd expect to get from the likes of Gainax and Studio Alex and it's very undercooked, but there's an artistically inspired, unique experience beneath it all:

Extremely in love with my next book's cover, illustrated by Rebecca Burgess (a fellow autistic) 💕
This book explains what it means to be autistic to kids (and adults!!) in a neuroaffirmative and fun way, and I can't wait for it to hit shelves in June 🎉

Posting an #introduction to say hi👋 I'm interested in the natural world and technology, and enjoy discussing current affairs and culture. Not interested in division and narcissism. I've worked in technical and compliance roles in the public sector in education and health, and currently in enterprise. I believe in the importance of diversity and an egalitarian society. Pleased to meet you!

What is a "haibun"?
A haibun (俳文) is a short piece that combines prose and poetry (a haiku), with a subtle or direct link between the prose and the haiku.
Here's my first one, "My brother's fall" on Medium.
Haibun, "My brother's fall"
https://medium.com/@romanalanwrites/my-brothers-fall-134a0a8a6830
My Medium stuff should be open and accessible to all – let me know if it's not.

Dear readers!
Should you enjoy reading the haiku that I publish here, feel free to read my analysis of one of those haiku.
The analysis explores how I think the haiku – actually, a senryu – works. (I will add more of these analyses when I can.)
All items on my Medium account should be open to all readers; if not please let me know.
Friends! Citizens! Lend me your eyes!

The print edition will be coming towards the end of the year and will include a reimagined map of Kent.
Cover is WIP AI. A human-generated one is in the works!
