(Though technically I could cheat and say “both” because they exist in the same universe.)(less)

For me a lot of worldbuilding is about learning what’s possible and what’s not, I like fantasy that feels grounded in reality so I try to start with a real world feel and layer fantastical elements on top, trying to find the right balance. I had the opportunity with The Starless Sea to establish what a Morgensternian world is, what my particular flavor of fantasy looks like. I think a lot of worldbuilding is about personalization, like finding your voice but for setting.(less)

goodbye 2024

I’m not sure what to say about 2024. It was a year. It’s over now. It went by quickly but seemed endless at times. I flipped through a dozen photos of baby goats on our 2024 calendar. Many things were terrible but there were baby goats to count the days with as they passed.
