IT'S ROBOT DAY!

My new novelette “Ladd’s Robot Repair” is free to read today in Lightspeed!

A fiercely independent scavver boy. An overprotective robot butler. Mutant children, signal-beasts, and the end of the world.

This was an absolute joy to write. I hope you enjoy it!
Ladd’s Robot Repair - Lightspeed Magazine
I wasn’t even two blocks into the Tumbledown when the walker’s nav crystal started fuzzing out. She veered left like a scavver drunk on coolant, and I knew I was in trouble. I tried sweet-talking her ...

I just don't think we need, in 2026, a story about a high school student bullied to the point of bloody homicidal revenge on the other students.

Who are we supposed to root for? The bullies? The school shooter?

In high school, every Saturday me and my buddy would hit the record shop, buy a new album, then hit the comic book store and load up on new floppies and back issues. Then we'd sprawl out on his bed and listen to music and read and swap comics all day. PERFECT DAY.

I'm feeling very grumpy about story today.

If you're screenplay requires your MC to explain the theme of the movie out loud to a psychologist, and for the mechanics of the plot to expositioned to the audience by passages from the psychologist's book you have not written a screenplay you have written story notes.

Can you really say you have lived an authentic life if you have not tried to watch Saturday morning cartoons through the TV static induced by your mom's vacuuming?

I have reached the "Am I gong to survive writing this novel?" part of this novel.

Glitch Techs and the whole crew behind it deserved so much better. Some of the best people I've ever worked with who loved animation and cared deeply about the show. I'm always glad to see it mentioned and not forgotten.
Glitch Techs!

I pretty much can't go a month without talking about it with someone. Season 3 is technically half finished, but Nickelodeon and Netflix have been dragging their feet on renewing it and keep cancelling shows like a BUNCH OF BITCHES- Sorry, sorry, I just . . . really like Glitch Techs.

Writers, if you have a hard-to-sell speculative Christmas / Winter Holiday story (more speculative than simply "Santa exists," please), we're love to consider it. hellitself.com/submission-g...

In a bad mood today for reasons. If I don't write, I'll still be in a bad mood but have no words done. If I do write, I'll still be in a bad mood but have some words done. So I should write. But my bad mood doesn't care about my logical mumbo jumbo.

Ever do that thing when you wake up in the middle of the night, take inventory of your life, decide everything is terrible, and go for a walk to enjoy the city lights while a smooth saxomaphone follows you around?

What's that, son? Puberty? Hm. That's complicated. It's a bit like a carnival ride. There's dancers, and a fog machine, and a guy playing boob drums... Look, just watch this educational explainer video:
