I’ve been steady working on multiple projects and I’m initiating PHASE 2 of Project Bullet Baby. What the hell does this mean?
Well I sent some files to Kelby so expect an announcement soon with the real name of the book. I’m about to be on the blurb hunt once again. I plan to shoot higher than my pay grade, but I want to be prepared. So be on the lookout for that…
Book 2 of the Motorpapi Chronicles is in full swing. And yes that is the real title. I was having a hard time with Project Bunny Bloodbath mainly because I’m still trying to figure out the secondary cast of characters and their personalities. I hopped over to A Cold Summer and the words tend to flow so much easier even though I don’t have the entire book planned out. I just know the central conflict and I’m diving in headfirst.
This feels pretty easy to write to be honest with you. I know the characters, I know the world, and everything else feels like cake so far. *Knock on wood*
Now I don’t have the pressure of someone like George R. R. Martin or J.K. Rowling. I have no idea what that feels like but I seriously think I can pump these babies out like nothing. I never understood why certain authors have 20 plus books in a series, but I get it. It’s comfortable, it’s familiar and it’s lowkey easy in some respects. I only want to write maybe four or five books in this series along with a bunch of stand-alone horror books (unrelated to the series).
I’m growing tired of AI, but this a cool concept. Someone made Lara Croft self aware and it’s fascinating to see her realize she’s in a simulation. She studies the artifacts, references history, and even questions the practicality of wearing shorts in a cold region. We need more of this…

I recently finished reading Ripe by Sarah Rose Etter (one of my favorite authors) and it was amazing. I teared up multiple times, reevaluatted my life, questioned my own writing abilities, felt inspired and then some. It’s surreal, riveting, and a real look at toxic tech work culture. I’m still reeling from this book emotionally…

Father’s dark melodies are untouchable and this beat is majestic. Awful Entertainment’s head honcho languishes in his arctic kingdom, softly making veiled threats and reminding you those diamonds around his neck are far from fake.
I had doubts Quentin Miller could do this beat justice, but he acts slides on this bitch and brings conscious rap to the forefront. He makes some good points about the youth and western society. Why we gotta be on demon time all the time?
Man, Stevy Lacy is so damn good it makes me want to cry. If I could sing, I swear my vocals would sound this beautiful, but that’s prolly what we all think. Needing a helmet for your heart resonates and something almost anyone can relate to. Soft, vulnerable, and heartfelt…
It’s incredible to see Nas rapping at such a high caliber in his twilight years. Someone like Melle Mel should take notes. Hit Boy laces Nas up with a triumphant beat as he raps about getting sharks high from his ashes, the flesh being a vessel, and manifestation. This is how you adapt to change in the rap game…
Until next time…
