PROJECT HAIL MARY is truly something special. A story of hope, love, and loss, I cannot believe Ryan Gosling and Lord & Miller had me crying over a CGI rock!!!!!!
1/2
Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir. Wow! The intellectual excitement, the unknown adventure, the sense of wonder! The storytelling that puts realism into outlandish ideas, that intersects grand plans with minimalist characters and timelines! Tear-jerking first contact!
A while ago I contacted Dennis at Four Keys Books because I wanted to commission him to make custom bindings for each of my books. He was all in on the idea and offered to do them for free!
Here's chapter 1 of his process for making them!

@NFL@Bwagz@Commanders@hbomax I need to know what the movie is!!
Can I guess though?
Was it Stephen King’s The Long Walk? Cause I feel like I could watch that without words. BUT it is so good with em.
Vince Gilligan says he's in no hurry to get going on Season 2 of PLURIBUS. Understood, but hey, Vince, if you're listening: I'm not getting any younger.
I’m thrilled to announce a deluxe edition of THE MARTIAN is hitting shelves from Ballantine Books on 5.26.26! This new edition features sprayed edges, new cover art, and more. Pre-order today!

Hey, all. There appears to be people (most likely bots) impersonating me and emailing people. Remember that I almost never email people I don't know, and I never read other people's works online.
My email address is sephalon@gmail.com. If you receive an email from any address other than that claiming to be me, it's a scam. And if you receive one from that address, reply to make sure it's me.
And again, I never randomly reach out to people online.
What I should be doing: Writing
What I'm doing: Obsessively analyzing and watching a TWO AND A HALF HOUR video of people playing Minecraft. Note: I don't even know how to play Minecraft.
This makes Game of Thrones look like office politics:

If only last year opened with something as good as that, then we might not be in the dire shitty mess now, as RTD makes excuses that one day someone will come and save it again. It's HIS fault for opening with SPACE BABIES. Now it opens with a wonderful episode, but its too late.
@patdebrat@red_ravenhawk Flashbacks are like assigning the reader homework. Maybe my consumer-focused view on storytelling is narrow, but maybe a little more focused, directed, story advancement is what's called for sometimes.
@NewsiesMario I already knew Mark loved Gemma. I didn't need an entire episode dedicated to it. Show those current-day Gemma scenes, skip the acid-trip transitions, and show more stuff going on now. I want plot advancement.
That feeling when the only two shows you watch - Reacher and Severance - both have a useless flashback-focused episode with no plot advancement on the same day and now you have to wait another week.
