    I did a thing

    It's reading of a short story from William Gibson's Burning Chrome.

    I really should have put more work into filtering the audio, but meh. The reading it out loud part was the part I felt the need to do.

    So a long-time and dear friend of mine wrote something and it's a beautiful story that I have to share with as many people as possible.

    It's a Darkest Dungeon story, and it's graphically violent. I encourage readers to use their own judgement and discretion about reading it, but for those who can bear it, the ending is worth every brutal word.

    Hi, I'm Golden Tassel

    Just "Tassel" is fine, thank you. And please read this as a message in a bottle:

    I grew up on the old Internet where the last thing anybody was online was themselves. (and we were all better for it oldmanyellsatcloud.jpeg) So it has never been my inclination to say anything with more than a vague allusion to anything ever going on in my personal life.

    Thoughts on Neuromancer

    Recently read Neuromancer. What follows are some loosely-connected thoughts about it. More of a ramble than anything else, I just needed a place to write some of this out while I digest the story.

    Words are hard.

    I'm gonna speak a bit more personally in this blog than I normally do. This is mostly for my own benefit, as writing things out like this will—I think hope—help me organize and focus my efforts so I can get back to working on not just my AI Misadventures story, but also the other story ideas I've had kicking around the back of my head for well over a year now. However, for the couple dozen

I figure since I actually have people following this, I may as well show some sign of life to let y'all know I've not abandoned the story or nothing.

Chapter 3 has just been kicking my ass for the last 2 months. We've got about 8k words written but I hit a major block and have been dragging my feet on finishing up the gaps in the chapter. I had my prereaders take a look at the incomplete chapter over the weekend and got some much needed feedback on what was really a major problem that I and my editor had been completely blind to (knowing the whole story already, we can't see the forest for the trees a lot of the time). Fortunately, we came up with a workable solution which involves splitting the chapter into two chapters and I feel confident that I will get to keep most of the stuff I've already written as we do this.

It's gonna take some time for me to work out the new plan of events for chapter 3 and the new chapter 4 but it should be a boon more than a bane and I hope to get back on track within a month. Apologies for the huge delay in the story, especially this early, but rest assured it'll be a lot stronger for it. And as an added bonus, it'll mean that you shouldn't have to wait more than a couple weeks after 3 for 4 to come out.

Thank you to everyone for your support and patience.
