If you lie, or you refuse to answer, I will go into your head and get the answer. Just be aware that this won't be a pleasant experience for me, so I won't make this pleasant for you either."

@npub1k24…26zw I'm quite convinced that's it. Seeing how many books I wrote and put out there since then... And I feel I'm still improving. Someday I will dare to call myself a decent author.

@npub1k24…26zw I can safely state that I did *not* edit those chapters back then. They got written, posted on an amateur author mailinglist and 'next!'.

Slal appeared, pushing a floater tray along. He handed out bowls and spork-like eating utensils. "Let's first eat, then talk about killing pirates," he said.

#TimeTravelAuthors day 19, 1 day time-travelled. A snippet with the word 'group'.
Scarlex got up, to lead the small group to the people she'd messaged. "Beware," she said, opening the door. "Q. Wildritch might still be there, so don't get upset about people with wings." She peeked out first. There was no sign of the winged woman.
