7 April 2020

Right, then. Tuesday. It is Tuesday, yes? The weirdness is setting in. I’m sitting in my flat pondering ways to break every rule I know about publishing, and marvelling at the fact I’m coaxing folks to come along for the ride. My inbox is filled with freshly signed contracts, my messenger services filled with chats about future projects.

And for all my bluster about breaking rules, I’m going back to resources from 2005 when the publishing paradigms of RPG gaming splintered thanks to ebooks and thinking about the ways to transplant them into 2020.

This has largely involved picking up an idea that’s been kicking around my computer since 2008. The nice part about everything going mental is that there’s really no reason going full tilt at ideas that seem interesting, rather than second-guessing whether they’ll pay off.

Brain Jar Press is on the verge of getting its own online identity. The webpage is getting some attention. We’ve launched a new Facebook Page, seperate from my own feeds. It’s all a big seat-of-the-pants, making the best use of The Great Pause we can, but it’ll pick up speed as our household figures out the new work dynamic with both of us home.
