Newsletter, May 2017
So I have this newsletter, this very occasional newsletter. You can sign up for it on the front page of my website (just scroll down to "Join the mailing list" and fill in the terribly easy form, trying not to chuckle too hard where it speaks of "regular mailings"; I promise, they are anything but regular ( Read more... ) -
Free books!
People, it's a giveaway. Up to a dozen titles from Book View Cafe, all free to download to the device of your choice. Help yourselves, and please don't trample each other in the rush. (Why yes, my own "Rotten Row" is included. Since you ask.)

"I know other people's dreams are boring, but": a continuing series
I dreamed that a playwright of renown - Peter Shaffer or a close analogue - was writing a serial drama about Franz Liszt effectively in real time, every ten years producing a new play covering the next decade of the composer's life. To research this, he spent most of his time listening to the works he'd first heard, including a tuba solo ( Read more... ) -
Are we here, on the other side of everywhere?
In this time of strange shifts in polarity (still crossposting to LiveJournal, but apparently the party's over here in Dreamwidth now; I will diminish, and go into the 'Width, and remain Desperance), I think it's worth mentioning that my Patreon project has also had a thorough makeover. I am still writing and posting Crater School stories (English ( Read more... ) -
News: that's what we call it when people tell people things
I know, I haven't posted here for ages. I do still read friends' posts on a daily basis, but my own social-media engagement seems to have shifted almost entirely to Facebook.

Don't mind me, I'm just working things out on my fingers

Just when I thought I might be sleeping

Without it, everything really does happen all at once, we all look in all the boxes, the question of cats is resolved once and for all, and the whole quantum universe collapses ( Read more... ) -
Cheese garlic basil bread
[There are many pretty photos of the process, over on my original Facebook post - https://www.facebook.com/chaz.brenchley/posts/10154494256046323 - which I will try to remember to port across to make this pretty too, but for the moment I'm just slamming ( Read more... ) -
The drilling in the wall kept up, but no one seemed to pay it any mind
I have the brain weasels quite badly, as it seems. The more I have to do, the less I'm able. A week ago I was all, "Right, then. Crater School it is, until I'm done. Forth Eorlingas ( Read more... )
