probably it will still get done but progress has not been good i appreciate everyone s patience but at this point this is a professional failure on my part it s taken longer to write to fail to write book 4 than to write all three prior novels in the series that s not okay thoughts on why in short my life is much better and my feelings about being a writer are much worse continue reading this entry was posted in uncategorized on june 13 2026 by seth i finished a novel 57 replies it s not baru 4 and it s not exordia 2 if such a beast ever comes to pass and in fact it s work for hire for an ip it also wasn t supposed to be a novel the contract was for a novella i just went badly over the word count but this is still a big deal for me i wrote this book in just a few months while holding down a full time job at a steady sustainable pace without any great suffering or psychic distress i did engage in some of my worst habits throwing everything out and starting over going very long but they did not stop me from hitting the deadline it s really rebuilt some of my confidence i feel more certain i can finish the books i owe you all and less afraid that i ll vanish into a hole of self punishment for years like i did with baru 2 and 3 i know it s disappointing and frustrating that i haven t had firm news on baru 4 but i promise that i fully intend and hope to deliver a good book and this is some evidence that i will succeed this entry was posted in uncategorized on december 23 2024 by seth the matrix but neo is patrick bateman 4 replies someone write this for me you know it would be good this entry was posted in uncategorized on october 23 2024 by seth the cipher kathe koja 16 replies i wrote this in an email and now i am leveraging it as content sorry to the email recipient i did not mean to make this a blog post it was meant for you but now everyone gets it i hope the sharing greatens it anyway one of my favorite novels ever is the cipher by kathe koja a 90s grunge horror killshot about a man written expertly by kathe who afaik is a woman in love with his ex nakota an edgelord punk who looks for meaning in things that are horrific and strange and intrusive the two discover a hole in their apartment s chemical closet a hole that is black strange and apparently bottomless they call it the funhole and they investigate it despite its obvious and increasing power and danger but really the novel is about their relationship as lensed through the funhole nakota wants to go near it to go into it our protagonist just wants nakota to love him but the funhole chooses him and nakota can t stand it love is a hole in the heart is the last line of the book is this a bleak nihilistic condemnation of love yes no no absolutely not the book is so good it is alive nakota and the protagonist s relationship is miserable and broken but it makes the book sing we the reader find interest and attention and thrill and life in the book because their love their fucked up arguably abusive certainly malformed love is what brings meaning to what would otherwise be a ligotti ish drudge through the miserable lives of miserable people encountering a horror i am not a moralist i do not read a book and say these characters had a bad relationship so the book is bad i would never want to live like nakota and the protagonist but their relationship is the filament which burns at the middle of the book and that is why it cannot be nihilistic it is not the laughing abyss of the funhole which dominates the book it is the feeling and intent created by the bond between two people it does not matter that so much of this feeling and intent is ugly and toxic what matters is the assertion that even in the face of a cosmic nothing love is the thing that matters to these people it is ultimately the assertion of a human experience over the alien this entry was posted in uncategorized on august 13 2023 by seth pro con analysis of good things happening 12 replies pro a
