    If you were looking at the shirts I sell...

    ... they're about to go away. My shirt printer is retiring, and I have no replacement.

    After May 5 I'm going to take down the online order links on my little business's online store, and after this summer I'll clear out of whatever shirts I have left.

    So if you'd noticed any of these before, now's effectively the last chance.

    Not back to KSP yet, but I did do some space stuff.

    I haven't touched KSP since my early experience with KSP2 was a combination of glitchy game and impossible-to-read UI. I've been thinking about it here and there, but I've had other things to do.

    But that doesn't mean I'm not doing space stuff, and yesterday I finally edited and posted a video of such.

    My muse is nagging me.

    I've done very little writing the past five months, partly due to being busy, but mostly due to recurring headaches when it's writing time.

    I have a couple weeks off, and I'm going to try to make time to get back on my projects (the Octavia story and novelizing Peter is the Wolf). But my mind... well... it's trying to jump ahead, or possibly back.

    Life imitates art...

    So, a privately built and operated space probe became the first US lander to soft-land on the Moon last week- Odysseus.

Update on writing challenge, and next game stream. · 4:22am Jan 22nd, 2020

Well, I lost ten days of writing to the Arizona trip, but even without that I'm way behind my 1500-word-per-day goal. But I'll keep plugging at it.

One major problem is finding away around a plot block in the current-in-progress chapter of Changeling Space Program. I'm almost there, but it's not quite ready to write in my head. I've been making slow progress on other projects, but nothing ready to post here yet. Sneak peeks are available for Patreon supporters.

Long story short, at 1500 words per day I should have 31,500 words today... and I'm under nine thousand.

Must do better.

Speaking of not writing, I'm still learning how to livestream games, and Wednesday night's stream (1/22/2020) will be X-Com: Long War, which will be the game until I take the next vote on Patreon in early February. I'll be naming troopers after CSP/Maretian characters until I run out of names, except I will drop people watching the livestream into the game to be sent out to miss a 95% shot and then get critted by a half-dead Sectoid.

Because that's XCOM, baby!
