And since many of you throughout the US will not be walking outside your house for a while (seriously, have you all seen the videos of people flash freezing water just by throwing it?), I've got some long and really meaty stories to share with you this time around.
I especially want to recommend an incredible, long, and absolutely brilliant essay by a pseudonymous writer who goes by N.S. Lyons, titled "A Prophecy of Evil: Tolkien, Lewis, and Technocratic Nihilism". It's startlingly illuminating about A LOT of things, both about literature and about life. I will warn you that it's quite pessimistic, as such things often are, but you know as well as I do that the best palate cleanser for such analyses of Tolkien and Lewis are... to read Tolkien and Lewis!
And here are some more curated stories for your reading pleasure:
Enjoy!
Thank you for coming along with me on my writerly adventures!

P.S. My Christmas book flood Kickstarter ended very successfully. There were a few snags in fulfillment, as one should expect during Christmas time, but the books are on their way! Thank you for your support!
