I'm not sure what to make of this... On the one hand I'm not a fan of landlords. On the other hand I love the idea of making all my weird ideas pay rent! 🤔 😂

Celebrating a paradoxical 11/10 rating of my story The Last Philosopher by Spookyspackles on RoyalRoad 🥳
But who knows what could have been if I had only given 120% instead of the standard 110% 😂

Anyway, the story is free to read, links can be found on my profile, thanks and sorry 😁

Big D - 11/10 review by Spookyspackles on The Last Philosopher. The story has got some very strong Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy vibes. If you don't know that series, but like some well written, cosmic ludicrousy, this book definitely has the potential to fit the bill. The MC's 'nickname' is definitely used for some subtle tongue-in-cheek humour, and there's some clever plays throughout the rest of the chapter that make it a treat to read. And while the narrator is weaving in the comedy, they are also weaving in a ton of worldbuilding. There are some tense shifts within the first chapter (potentially intentional), but otherwise, the flow, spelling, and grammar are peachy. Overall, the author humanizes the furthest from a human thing you can probably think of, and does it well. Excited to see Richard's quest come through!

    Okay yes, I agree in principle, but would it be so bad if it look just a little better? 😂

    Finished the final draft, sent out the files, and ordered copies of the hardcover and paperback. Release date is set for May 25, aka (appropriate for a launch, I think). The pre-order links to pretty much every major retailer are up and linked on my site, https://JeffreyHarlan.com

    Now to play my favorite video games for the first time in 3 months.

    Comic with two characters dressed in medieval clothing, walking on a hill. The one in front is very tall and holding a hiking pole, the shorter one behind him has his nose in a book, reading. The short fellow says: We've had our "inciting incident" and we're on the "journey," so it seems like we'll be having a "crisis" any minute now.... The tall fellow replies: The quest was a lot more fun before you got that book on story structure.

    Joking is serious business 😂

    Tumblr post writing interpretation. Death of the author: Treating the author’s stated interpretation of their own work as merely one opinion among many, rather than the authoritative Word of God. Disappearance of the author: Treating the context and circumstances of the work’s authorship as entirely irrelevant with respect to its interpretation, as though the work had popped into existence fully formed just moments ago. Taxidermy of the author: Working backwards from a particular interpretation of the work to draw conclusions about what the context and circumstances of its authorship must have been. Undeath of the author: Holding the author personally responsible for every possible reading of their work, even ones they could not reasonably have anticipated at the time of its authorship. Frankenstein's Monster of the author: Drawing conclusions about authorial intent based on elements that are present only in subsequent adaptations by other authors. Weekend at Bernie’s of the author: Insisting that the author would personally endorse your interpretation of the work if they happened to be present. Comment by bugbastard | thought this was going to be a joke, but these are all very real things you see people do. Answer by prokopetz I'm never more serious than when I'm joking.
