An Unfound Door - Now Comes the Hard Part
Aug. 15th, 2025 08:39 amrynlingI finished my final draft of An Unfound Door, an original dark fantasy novel. Nice! Now it’s time to begin querying.

It’s going to be tough, but I’ve decided to spend the next twelve months (until August 15, 2026) querying. New agents and small presses open to queries every week, and this process is really just a numbers game that involves doing everything you can to increase your chances of being in the right place at the right time. I’ve never been a particularly lucky person, but An Unfound Door is a really good book. I hope people get to read it one day!

Aug. 14th, 2025 08:38 pmconuly posting in agonyauntDear Care and Feeding,
I’ve got a 14-year-old son and 9-year-old twin daughters. My son lives primarily with his mom, but has always spent plenty of time at my place, and the kids are all quite close. But there is a real problem with how he treats one of his sisters. The two of them share many traits and are quite similar in disposition, and when things are good, they have a very sweet relationship. They’ll go on walks together and chat and laugh the whole time. They also really enjoy play-fighting—e.g., hitting each other with foam swords. But at other times, my son will relentlessly pick at his sister, teasing her for things like not being as good at video games as he is, or questioning her abilities in other ways. It’s unkind, and although she sometimes claps back or does her best to ignore him, more often it sends her into a rage.
I’ve talked to him about it repeatedly (and yelled at him about it), and he has said he has trouble controlling himself. Maybe that sounds like a cop-out, but having observed it so many times, I believe him. It seems like an impulse-control thing, like the comments pop into his head and are out of his mouth before he can stop them. We have a good amount of neurodivergence in our family, and I strongly suspect that, like the sister in question, he’s got ADHD. I’ve wanted to get him assessed, but his mom—with whom I have a good relationship—is resistant, and he hasn’t had any issues in school yet that would offer more reason to push for it. I’ll tell him to knock it off and he’ll be chastened, but then 30 seconds later he’s picking on his sister again. What do you think I should be trying to do here? Yelling obviously isn’t the answer, and I can tell my son is feeling demoralized. I feel like this is about their similar personalities to some extent, because he doesn’t have the same issue with his other sister. But even if that’s the case, I want him to stop cutting his sister down, because she adores him and I’m pretty sure he actually adores her too.
—Bro, Chill

Summary:
Sometimes, the Rowan would find a recording of the show she had attended with Goswina and the others of that class, her mood pouring over the unpleasantness of the aftermath, and the ultimate joy it had brought her in one Afra Lyon, Goswina's little brother.
Other days, she would put music on, purposefully choosing subdued vocals and music with subtle harmonies, to avoid any of the more robust, loud music that Siglen had preferred. Her teacher had been as loud in her music tastes as in her choices of decor.
The Rowan had long since chosen to be quite different.

Summary:
Keeley hadn't been sure that any of it was a great idea, but it didn't take long for her to see the change in everyone — especially Roy.
His gruff exterior and piss-off attitude was intact, but there wasn't the same level of loathing for life there. Keeley just pushed into the change, and did all she could to reward the change.
If that meant more sex, she certainly wasn't going to complain. Nor did it take long to realize saying anything to Jamie was enough to rile Roy up in that really good way.
She could get behind the changes.

"Who let you watch terrible TV?" Roy asked, before looking all around him.
"That's from a show? You must have watched it to know the word. What was it about?" Phoebe asked. "I learned it from Billy."
"Billy watches terrible TV then. Where are we supposed to be?"
Phoebe did not make it any better when she giggled and pointed to the tiny hole-in-the-wall candy shop.
Roy took a firmer hold on her hand and walked them over, intent on getting Keeley the best chocolates ever.

The Ultimates #14
Aug. 14th, 2025 07:53 amlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
If you’re picking up the Ultimates, for better or worse, you’re getting a Deniz Camp book. You know, it reads like a Deniz Camp book, hopefully different from the other ones that I’ve done because I’m trying not to repeat myself, but still, it’s a representation of me and my interests. I think, at least for me as a reader, that’s what I was always looking for, you know? Like when I was a kid and I realized that the comics I liked weren’t Justice League comics but were Grant Morrison comics. That was kind of like the first big revelation for me about how to read comics was, “Actually it’s not that JLA comics are better than the other comics. It’s that these specific ones written by this specific person are better,” you know, and hopefully that’s part of what the excitement of the Ultimate Universe is. [...] I think it’s totally normal when you’re younger to identify with the characters, or the universe or whatever. That’s just the normal life cycle of things. As you get deeper into something, only then, whatever it is, whether it’s novels or TV or whatever, then you start to realize you start to realize a little bit more about how they’re made and what you’re responding to is the work of people, not this amorphous concept or character. -- Deniz Camp
