If you were looking at the shirts I sell...

... they're about to go away. My shirt printer is retiring, and I have no replacement.
After May 5 I'm going to take down the online order links on my little business's online store, and after this summer I'll clear out of whatever shirts I have left.
So if you'd noticed any of these before, now's effectively the last chance.

Not back to KSP yet, but I did do some space stuff.

I haven't touched KSP since my early experience with KSP2 was a combination of glitchy game and impossible-to-read UI. I've been thinking about it here and there, but I've had other things to do.
But that doesn't mean I'm not doing space stuff, and yesterday I finally edited and posted a video of such.

My muse is nagging me.

I've done very little writing the past five months, partly due to being busy, but mostly due to recurring headaches when it's writing time.
I have a couple weeks off, and I'm going to try to make time to get back on my projects (the Octavia story and novelizing Peter is the Wolf). But my mind... well... it's trying to jump ahead, or possibly back.

Life imitates art...

So, a privately built and operated space probe became the first US lander to soft-land on the Moon last week- Odysseus.

My favorite part? · 7:24pm Jan 31st, 2019

Usually I don't think about "which part of X I've written is my favorite part?"

But there's one entry of The Maretian I keep coming back to and re-reading- and I'm not usually in the habit of re-reading my own writing.

It's not perfect- Mark Watney is a little preachy in it, but given that he's expressing the enthusiasms that got him to Mars in the first place, I think it's excusable.

So, yeah. My favorite part of The Martian is Sol 303.

Your mileage may vary.

By the way, the next CSP chapter drops tonight, tomorrow, or at latest Saturday. I'm still editing and rewriting.

It is indeed a beautiful moment. I can see why it's your favorite. Personally, mine is Dragonfly's conversation with the universe (followed shortly by Mark going through the mirror portal. )
