Hello! I see you out there, floating about in e-space. overkill<\/em> might have brought you here, and if it did, great! I’m real glad you’re reading. Reading is freedom and so it should be free. That is why I’m writing today, to offer you even more<\/em> free stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, here’s a link to download an eBook version of Well’s Rest<\/a><\/em>, my second book. If you’re a keen copyeditor then maybe it isn’t the book for you. If you’re passionate about language, then maybe it is? If you’re an editor who likes it, then fam, hmu at the Contact tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, here’s SLOP FIGHTER<\/a><\/em>. It’s a game I made that utilises a very small LLM. Don’t have Steam? It’s also on itch.io<\/a>. It’s finished, but sometimes I get bored and tinker with it. It’s not perfect, but neither are LLMs. Neither am I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirdly, because you need a third thing, here’s a short story I wrote ten-fifteen years ago. It’s called GELIGNITE<\/a><\/em>. It’s a love story. I wouldn’t call it a personal story. It’s just kinda fun. I think I sent it to magazines at one point. I can see why it wasn’t published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s it! Here’s something<\/a> to listen to. What’s that one, something like “I feel bad for the clown and nerd shit” or something? I like that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
