Check out these messages I got a few days ago.
(In response to my How Are Lesbian Space Witches Putting a Curse on Your Favorite Series? email).
“Dude your only complaint about a sci-if fantasy show is that witches can create life out of nothing is absurd. Like this isn’t even that big of a plot point at all my guy you are just bad faith it’s pathetic.”
“OMG yer literally just trying to cash in on the whole ‘Star Wars is woke’ movement. get a real job and go touch grass.”
You know, I did try to “touch grass,” but I started sniffing and sneezing….
It turns out I’m allergic to grass…..
As for getting a “real job,” can you believe that I applied multiple times for entry-level positions as a lesbian space witch—but it never seemed to work out?
It must be my magnificently thick and girthy Palestinian eyebrows….
Anyway, one thing that we can all agree on– whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, Muslim or kafir– is that when we produce a work of art, it needs to be excellent.
People who don’t care about excellence in storytelling are what I call “story slayers”.
What’s a story slayer?
It’s a writer who lacks any real love or passion for the intellectual properties, the genres, or even the audiences they’re trying to reach. They are so out of touch that they don’t even grasp the fun, whimsical concept of witches.
This lack of concern for excellence shows in the final product.
They say, “Write what you know,” but unfortunately, all these story slayers seem to know is unbearable cringe.
Rather amusing isn’t it?
And so, now you know what a Story Slayer is.
I’ve got two updates on our silent, grayscale short story, “The Lesser Evil: Inks: The Lesser Evil: Where Angels Fall, Monsters Rise”:
Inks Completion: We expect to finish the inks by the end of this month. After that, we’ll add the grayscale elements and handle the production design to get it ready for the printers.
Story Expansion: The short story just got longer! I’ve decided to increase the interior story page count from 8 to 12 pages—without increasing the price.

P.S. If you know anyone who needs to calm down and relax, like the two special boys above, send them this video. It features a grouchy “Arab Dad” reading Arabian Nights to help viewers with sleep meditation. I’m not affiliated with him at all, but as a grouchy Arab dad myself, I trust other grouchy Arab dads to get stuff done.
