If you read fantasy for the magic, the world-building, and the occasional moment of dark humor—I write that. One urban fantasy series, one epic fantasy series, both set in the Fractured Arcana universe, with more coming. My newsletter takes you deeper into the worlds, the characters, and what's next.

For those of you that aren't close to the microchip industry -- it is going through upheaval right now, and my work is no exception. So instead of the calm downtime I expected after taping in our last chip, I've had to work through some pretty dynamic changes. It can be... unsettling.
I think I hit a new driving record last weekend - about 5 hours on the road Saturday entirely for running kids around town. Impressive, right? Used about 3/4 of a tank of gas. I could have driven to South Padre Island in that time and enjoyed a frigid beach adventure. Frankly, this is a totally ridiculous time in life to entertain a writing hobby (yes, Hunny, I admit it), but I've never been entirely sensible... how dull that would be.
BUT, part of that driving brought me to basketball--my oldest daughter's team won their basketball tournament in sudden death. She couldn't walk the next morning... took a hit to her leg that is causing some knee pain. But ice, anti-inflammatories, and a holiday break will hopefully do the trick.
Cranking away on Mother of Trees--Elliah is finally nearing the next crux of her story. It's almost like she doesn't want to get there! (Any other authors out there who feel like their characters sometimes push back?) Someone needs to tell her that this isn't even the bad part. Sheesh.
An author local to Austin has arranged a multibook giveaway that everyone should jump on. Maybe you'll find your next favorite author or series: https://bkgreenwood.com/multiauthorgiveaway
o To-Do list for writing last week:
Email updates- Get Elliah to the Heartland :) [easier said than done... she still has one big obstacle to overcome. she might not make it by next week.]
o To-Do list for writing this week:
- Email updates
- Get Elliah to the Heartland. She might actually make it by the time this newsletter goes out. She's close.

I promise I’ve made progress on Father of Stones (FoS). Here's a screenshot to prove it: click the photo to get to the live data showing progress But... I have put a little time elsewhere. I want to invite you to try this web-game I’ve been building out. It was meant to be a role-playing game around Thaumatropic Fractures, but ended up being focused on Thaumatropic Roots. https://tfrpg.sjmorriswrites.com https://tfrpg.sjmorriswrites.com The game will ask you to use your email to associate...
I built a tracking page for Father of Stones (FoS) this week. I did not, notably, write very much of said book this week. There's a joke in there about creative avoidance and I'm not going to pretend I don't see it. Anyway — here's what I made instead. Word Count Over Time A live chart of Father of Stones' progress since late June. I'm not smoothing over the slow weeks. There's a very flat stretch from June 'til August where I worked on the Eigenthrope story, then another flat stretch through...
Yesterday I needed to remember exactly how a character destroyed a dragon artifact three books ago. I didn't dig through my own novels to find it—I asked an AI I built to search them for me. It's called the Grimoire: a mini-AI system I put together with Pinecone that I can ask questions about my own books—hair color in a different epoch, a side character I want to bring back, a detail I'd otherwise lose momentum digging for. It keeps me writing instead of hunting. That's the quiet way AI has...
