My newest collection, Apocalypse Moi, is assembled. It contains a bunch of chapbooks that are about to go out-of-print, plus some stuff that was only published in anthologies, plus an original time travel story and a brand-new Prohibition Orcs tale. I’m waiting for the printer to approve the PDFs to get the print, but I […]
I give up on time zones. I just plain give up. The urge to provide the time in UTC or GMT or some normal, conventional Standard Time Unit reoccurred today, but all my efforts in that direction have spectacularly imploded. SPECTACULARLY. I have been working as a writer for nine years now, and time no […]
(This post went to Patronizers at the beginning of September, and the public at the beginning of October.) While “See the Sausage Being Made” is an accurate description for the $1/month Patronizer level, I’ve been pondering renaming it “Give Lucas Money Just For Still Being Alive.” Because that’s kind of what it feels like over […]
It’s the peak of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and I sincerely hope that you are out doing something interesting rather than hanging out online. Video hangout attendance has been down, which I take as a positive sign, but soon enough the cold will return and folks will huddle up to their screens again. But […]
(This post went to Patronizers at the beginning of August, and the public at the beginning of September.) The most exciting thing this month is probably the Writing Chariot. I have written at a standing desk since about 2010. I find it much more sustainable than a standard desk, and it lets me pace more […]
I hope that y’all are having a fun-filled glamour-packed joyful summer and don’t have time to hang out with me. But most of you are computer folks, so I know better. Plus, it’s hot out. We melt. Instead, join me for an hour of snark, surl, and sarcasm with a possibility of rat. Michael Lucas […]
This post goes to Patronizers at the beginning of July, and the public at the beginning of August. Once upon a time, I owned a Chevrolet SSR hard-top convertible. It retailed for fifty thousand dollars in 2005, back when that was real money. No, I didn’t buy it. I won it at a $500/plate […]
What if some daft bugger got an invitation to submit to an exclusive Valentine’s Day anthology, and wrote the story, but wrote it with orcs? It would get rejected, that’s what. But the editor would remember it. And the other folks who read it would remember. And eventually, a sufficient number of them would say […]
Folks, I apologize. I overslept. I haven’t slept past 10am in years, but it’s been a rough week. I’m moving the hangout to next Saturday, 17 June, 10am EDT. Same link, same everything, different day. My sincere apologies.
It’s summer for most of us, so I hope you’re all out doing exciting things in fresh air rather than lurking in your homes waiting for an opportunity to hang with me. This hangout is closer to the May one than I’d like, but evening and morning tends to draw a different crowd. Except for […]
