Today’s scribbling was a bit of impromptu writing about Shaka Zulu for a thread on a messageboard. I may turn it into something more once I do my class on the Anglo-Zulu war.

The heist begins! So far they think it’s going well, the idiots.

Spotting a hole, going back, plugging the hole. Writing!

Today I played on false expectations and had an unexpected substitution take place.

Today was a girl attempting to avoid an embarrassing social situation by escaping through the toilets. We’ve all been there.

Gambling is a sin, so I’m told. But even more so, it’s a weakness. And weakness, I am afraid, is not permitted.

Two more chapters planned. The heist is underway.

So the robot religions piece is written! Not going to do anything with it yet, though. I think by the time I need to record it I’ll have enough distance to critically edit it, and then I can add pictures and put it up here once the podcast is live. Fun getting some non-fiction in for once, I’d missed it. Good for a break from the novel.

Okay. Joint cased. Stakes raised. Next chapter, the groundwork as seen from the outside. Then, the heist itself. Which will go wrong of course. Something to look forward to.

Today was some more prep and research for doing an article/guest spot for Dissecting Worlds about robot religion – this time about AI becoming gods. Loads of fun.
