Spoke to a publisher and we discussed the value of the “My book is like X meets Y” elevator pitch, referencing two pieces of pop culture. My challenge is that I go deep on things rather than have a wide breadth of knowledge, so nothing jumped to mind.

After searching, I came back with…
#CrownOfHorns is like #TheWitcher meets #1984: a Slavic-inspired political fantasy where authoritarianism takes hold before you even know it.

Will keep ideating, but what do you think?

#ScribesAndMakers 3.1 — What are your goals for the month?

(I finally have the time to join in! Yay! My nana is doing so well after her surgery.)

I have a few stories that I'm currently working on, with an original novel somewhere there in the mix. My only goal is to WRITE. I don't care what it's for, how much is accomplished, or when or where it's done. I can't pressure myself. That's when things don't get done. You know what I mean? Plus, I have a podcast to work on and a huge #DnD campaign for #TheWitcher to run (as game master).

I'm currently enjoying a Witcher Oneshot of my own creation for my players. At the moment, they're struggling with the age-old question: Should we break the door down, pick its lock, seduce it, or just juggle the knob to open it—because it might not even be locked in the first place? I'm quietly sitting here, trying with all my might not to outright laugh or cackle at the group. Spoiler alert: It's actually unlocked.

Also, I told a player, in response to a seduction attempt—"attempt" being the keyword here, honestly—that the door just doesn't swing that way. LOL.

Attempting intimidation to get the door to respect you isn't going to work, either. They always try this with random and inanimate objects and yet it never works. Gee, I wonder why.

I bought a Polish book on the history of The Witcher 3 #game development.

Sadly, the book arrived with 16 of 250+ pages not printed at all (in random parts of the book).

Have you seen such a printing error before?

The publisher insists that the cover is not made with generative AI, but all the awkward, pointless details, mud-fur and artifacts are hand-painted by an actual artist.

En train de réaliser que j'ai même jamais fait mon #introduction : Franque-Emmanuel Tranchard la Gaucche, double maléfique de Franque-Emmanuel Coupard la Droitte. Présidente des 24h pédalo nautiques du lac de Vouglans. Les rumeurs prétendent que je ne suis que trois ratons laveurs dans un trench coat alors que je suis la tass' préférée des gamins du quartier. Je regarde la chaîne parlementaire comme certains regardent la télé réalité, je dégomme la #FrenchPol à coup de pouet agressifs et de même. J'écoute du rock indé quand je me perds pas dans les tréfonds de la variété. Je donne des super adresse de bouffe à #Lyon. Ni chien, ni chat, mais je rêve d'adopter un phoque. Obsédée par #TheWitcher et #BG3. #ManuMacsHateAccount. Mot dièses préférés : #Mosstodon et #ThickTrunkTuesday.
