“See the coast clear’d, and then we will depart.”

Need no clear coast.Stride confidently towards sunset.People've always feared me.Hated me.Reviled me.So used to being an object,For others to gawk at.From the teenager who went red in the face,Every time I showed her kindness,To Abrahamics who shoot me dirty looks,In the streets.Visible.

The Pickup Truck Diaries: “The Second Most Prolific Poet In History” & Goal Setting.

Let’s start this edition of The Pickup Truck Diaries with a rhetorical question: “How does one go about achieving the goals they’ve set for themselves?” I’ll give you a few minutes to pause and think about that. Most folks have already started churning their brains into realistic “brass tacks”...

Central Universe Science Fiction Shorts: An Update!

Campfire. Come gather 'round the campfire. Let me tell you a story. Several small ones, in fact! It started a month or two ago, when I had a bunch of hits on "Our Better Angels" via the 'ol analytics. Now, I've been running this little business for half a decade - so out of neurotic perfectionism,...

McRae’s MTG Corner: The Rainbow Bible. (AKA The Rukarumel “Gay Pirates!” Tribal Tribal CEDH Primer.)

WARNING: This piece clocks in at 62,000+ words. It currently holds the record for longest "CEDH Primer" ever written. (Although it's more like a textbook or resource guide to Tribal Archetypes, and Rainbow/5c Magic, really.) It is over half the size of my sci fi books. Please remember to drink...

McRae’s MTG Corner: Tempo For Dummies (Especially For Commander.)

Aight, we back yet again. Somehow in my long years of being an L1 Judge and Modern and EDH player, I had never realized that learning tempo in Magic The Gathering is a rather visceral experience, in that you learn experientially. For the layman, that means that you have to learn that deep sense of...

McRae’s MTG Corner: Siloing CEDH & EDH

Ew, I got CEDH in my EDH… Today we’re here to talk about power levels in the casual commander format, as well as how to encourage better CEDH & EDH play by more carefully separating the two formats despite their strange interwoven nature. As a “retired” L1 Judge for Magic: The Gathering, I’m...

Devote Yourself To Grandiosity.

Best damn writing advice I could give,'Least as a poet,Is to devote yourself to grandiosity.There are times,As an artist -To devote oneself to leaf,& wave.Brook,Or forest.Yet the skalds of old craved more.As do I.So I implore you -Younglings!Write big,Never stop.

Inner Monologues In My Head.

Seeking discipline;As if lost,Not created from within us.Every day.War against my self.Every day.Seek to beat myself.Every day.I hunger well.Discipline comes from willpower.No more.No less.Every single choice,An action point.Listening to the overlapping -Inner monologues,In my head.

I’ll Casually Shrug.

Some day,When I've long since moved past such a silly title.That's when somebody will gush about William,Praying devoted at the altar of Shakespeare.I'll casually shrug."I beat Shakespeare already."Based on my experiences thus far:People despise such statements of fact,Seeing many as lies!
