Splendid, golden leaves
Fall from the trees and dance by
A gentle breeze blows

Taking a break from working on this week's newsletter.

Almost done reading this otherworldly rollercoaster ride.

Thinking about doing a review of it in a future newsletter... we'll see.

Welcome to Chapter 15, the first chapter in Act II of RoboNomics: https://www.wattpad.com/1379034305-robonomics-chapter-15 This chapter opens with Andrea choosing an all-white outfit for her confrontation with Chris, which reflects my habit, in the past, of dressing for work the way I wanted to feel. Have you ever done that? Do you find it successful? @bookstodon @writingcommunity

3.0 was released today. I’m looking forward to trying it as a general-purpose markdown editor to supplement , because you can use .md files anywhere in your system, not just in folders designated as vaults. https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/releases/tag/v3.0.0

A bit of carpet, a yoghurt and a spoon to eat it with. That’s all Liam takes when he sets off in Donal McLaughlin’s short story runaway.

There is a thin line between persistence and delusion, between consistency and insanity, and you can't ever seem to find it.

Camus was right to say that one must imagine Sisyphus happy, that each time the boulder tumbles down, he walks to meet it with something like a smile, you only wish he had better explained how.

Often creative blocks come from harboring a falsity, a dishonesty. We hide a part of ourselves, aspects of who we are, the things we really want to talk about, the things we really want to say, the things we really mean. We deny our own interests, our own intentions, our own curiosity. Real creative freedom stems from truthfulness, from radical honesty, from authenticity.

While I am slumbering, everyone should take the prime opportunity to roast my current author bio. Yes, this is being sent whenever asked:

Gary James writes for many quality publications, and quite a few that are not. He lives in chaos, with his books and ghosts.

Hey there!

Check out this recent review of my novel, Below the Heavens - JiangXi.

I have the entirety of the novel published on Royal Road for free. I'm actively publishing the second novel of the series as well! You can find the link to both in my bio.

It’s hot in Vila Sapo and time for some distraction, so there’s no holding back in Maria Jacqueline Evans’s translation of José Falero's story Flash of Dignity.

Two aphorisms that I return to, by the wonderful poet, aphorist & human being, James Richardson, author of Interglacial.

“Solitude takes time. One becomes alone, like... a stone warming.

Writer: how books read each other.”
