New published story and a new Lego blog!

Hello again! I know my posts have declined to rare annual occurrences by this point, but I have an important update: My story "Do Angels Brag" has recently been published by Planet Raconteur!

The day I found out about this, I had just gotten off a full (and kinda rough) day at work. I popped open Twitter on my PC (I don't have the app) and almost fell out of my seat when I saw Planet Raconteur's notification. I mean, my last post announcing PR's acceptance of my story was a year ago; six months after that, I'd basically accepted that my story had either been forgotten or quietly dropped. It nearly brought tears to my eyes to finally listen to my fiction brought to life in the podcast.

It was also an interesting experience because I'd written the story differently; in the podcast, the piece had been reduced to mostly dialogue. This is an observation, not a complaint. It's an audio-based podcast, and some of the words between the quotes would sound a little weird, so I like what they did.

Speaking of which, you can listen to the podcast episode with my story by clicking on these words right here. Later, I plan to update my Published Works page to include this story; at the moment, though, I'm taking a bit of an off week. I'm even delaying my next blueprint on my new Lego blog.

Oh, right! I haven't written here yet about my new Lego blog, Not Enough Bricks. If you're a brick-building enthusiast, I strongly recommend checking it out. I'm making a series of Tiny Turbos-esque models at this point.

Well, that's it for now. See you again in February 2023 (or hopefully sooner)!
