We've had @mjohnharrison walking the line between #fiction and nonfiction, Irena Karpa turning it up to eleven, Seán Padraic Birnie reflecting on illness and work, Shauna Mackay summoning up the voices in her head and now Catriona Bolt in pursuit of #mushrooms

In my opinion, one of the best conversations with M John Harrison I’m aware of, which is saying a lot because he’s always s fine interviewee and a great reader of his own work.

Furthermore, Wish I Was Here surpasses all expectations. I marked up my edition so massively I had to buy a second copy.

@fatkat @bookstodon no, they included Vol 1 and 3.. so I need to buy #2. Sneaky.

@drawnonglass @bookstodon I believe there's 6 issues total so you'll have to pick up more than just #2 to complete the series.

@historyshapes @histodons Not the first time I toast bread to make a sandwich and I eat the bread instead. So, eating bread with bread (which, as an Spanish idiom says, is "fools' meal") seems delicious to me...

@microblogc @histodons who's got time for sandwiches when there's delicious toasted bread at the ready? I see no fool in this scenario. 🍞 - mert.

Next article for Gamers Decide. It was hard to narrow it down to 15 . Hopefully if you dropped a rec, I managed to fit it in.

The Dawn of DC publishing initiative has been an fantastic way to start reading DC Comics. Heaps of jumping-on points and cool stories. https://www.howtolovecomics.com/2022/11/21/dawn-of-dc-guide/

@howtolovecomics I keep wondering, with all the endless jumping on points, are we advancing stories here?

I mean yea, otherwise your asking teams to win the same game a sole novel writer is asked to: launch a book that can sell series (ala Percy J, or Dresden). And in a crowded market, even within an individual company.

But also, ask writers to endlessly make jumping on points seems odd too.

Did You Know⁉️ MYST actually had a short-lived comic book run.

It was originally planned as a four-issue series. Though it sadly never made it past Issue #1 🤯

You can check out Issue #0 and Issue #1 right here in THE VIDEO GAME LIBRARY 📚

@Bogusmeatfactory @thevglibrary @bookstodon Yeah, they were absolute disasters and Dark Horse refused to fix the mistakes. No wonder that Cyan axed the contract and shoved them under the rug.

@Bogusmeatfactory @bookstodon I saw that!! Crazy stuff 😆. What a flub!

And to not want to fix it…that’s wild.

Our final mystery is pulling back the veil with before and after pictures – a writer's desk as it was, and a writer's desk as it aspires to be.

Well, what did you expect from a writer of ?

@bookstodon

Order prevails on this writer's desk. Laptop, notebook, mug of tea. A few books for inspiration and plenty of space for great thinking.

@bookstodon … and this intrepid fictioneer is Catriona Bolt.
