New blog post on the Wongery: "A Matter of Time"

In which I rethink the timeline of the world of Dadauar, and resolve to take more care with this kind of thing in the future.

After way too long (again), there is finally a new article up on the Central Wongery, about the Jinn's Palace, a popular casino on the sci-fi world of Kadis.

(Yeah, once again, I've really got to start getting new articles up more often...)

New blog post on the Wongery: "In Defense of the Noble Em Dash"

In which I express my concern that someone might accuse me of using ChatGPT to write Wongery articles because of my use of em dashes. (I have never used ChatGPT; I was using em dashes long before ChatGPT was a thing.)

New blog post on the Wongery: "Building Communities"

In which I create new worldbuilding communities on Reddit and Tumblr, despite the fact that I have no idea how to draw new members to those communities.

New blog post on the Wongery: "Pixelated"

In which I discover that I may not be as completely terrible at pixel art as I am at traditional art. Maybe.

New blog post on the Wongery: "The F Word"

In which I discuss my opinion that my novel will be better if I put in some profanities, and the reasons why I'm reluctant to do so.

New blog post on the Wongery: "Moved In"

In which I have finally moved the Wongery over to the "new" hosting plan that I had stupidly been paying for for the last year without using it.

[wongery]

Whoops... I'd used "hermaphrodite"/"hermaphroditic" in a handful of articles on the Wongery (in reference to nonhuman organisms), but I wasn't aware it had those connotations. Just edited those articles to use "monœcious" instead.

Reminder that hermaphrodite ORIGINALLY referred to intersex human beings and is in fact never a neutral biological term. It's a slur. Stop saying it.

New blog post on the Wongery: "Unprofitable"

In which I announce that the Wongery content is released under an additional open license. Although not the additional license I'd previously announced the Wongery content would eventually be released under, but which I still don't have the money to pay lawyers to draft.

After way too long, there's finally a new article up on the Central Wongery, about Yahhada, the most popular god of death on the world of Jhembaz.

In which I discuss my results from the "WorldEmber" worldbuilding challenge, what I feel I got out of it, and what I plan to do differently next time.

New blog post on the Wongery: "2025"

In which I wish my (very few if any) readers a Happy New Year, and then spontaneously decide to lay out a set of New Year's resolutions (mostly) related to the Wongery.

New blog post on the Wongery: "Left to Write"

In which I discuss some of what I hope to get done over the holidays, and what still needs to be done for the novel I started in November—which is not among the things I hope to get done over the holidays.

New blog post on the Wongery: "Feeling the Burn(out)"

In which I am just… so, so tired of all of this.

[wongery]

New blog post on the Wongery: "Another Month, Another Challenge"

In which I request help choosing a world to focus on for a worldbuilding challenge (with a digression about whether the Wongery has a reason to exist).

[wongery]

New blog post on the Wongery: "Lessons Learned: Novel-Writing Month 2024"

In which I eventually discuss what I learned by attempting a November novel-writing challenge this year, but only after lengthy digressions over other topics including how much I finished of the novel, how I think it turned out, and the fact that the title of this blog post is an homage to a completely unrelated podcast.
