“Based on your buying history, here are more of the thing”
But I already have the thing
“Other people recommend these same things”

Getting the Patreon video had a cost. I had to do an interview.
Father-in-law update: he's conscious and expected to make a 90% recovery. He's assaulting rehab with the intensity of an old guy who fully intends to go home and get back on the roof at the earliest opportunity.

Oh, and a new video! Have I mentioned the video? I've finally done a video!
Been #writing #gitsyncmurder for a year now. What was 1000 words per hour fell to 500 wph, then 250. Did 100 wph last attempt.

Urban fantasy with a hero who has magic, but that magic can't affect the physical world. Lovely moral dilemmas. Recommended. #sffbookclub
Ed Mastery
@mwlucas took what could be a rather silly joke book and created a masterful book on something that normally would be lost to the ages.

My Mastopeeps will be the first to learn that I have a Patreon video.
I'm told it doesn't suck.
