Hey, folks! I'm putting together a #dreampunk email list. If you'd like to be kept in the loop on dreampunk-related topics such as club invitations and book releases, please send me a direct message with your email address.
I just finished some potential cover art for my work in progress Adelaide in Ozghard. Meet Adelaide! https://CliffJonesJr.com/adelaide #books #wip #wipart #writing #writingcommunity #indieauthor #indieauthors #artwork #dreampunk #dreampunkaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/B_L9bfvAWfY/?igshid=gthjotdbtedd
The upcoming dreampunk anthology Mirrormaze will include a strange little story of mine about what actually happened to Dorothy while she was “asleep” in the poppy field. Hint: It involves outer space.
I was reading a book (about interjections, oddly enough) yesterday which included the phrase “In these days of political correctness…” talking about no longer making jokes that denigrated people for their culture or for the colour of their skin. And I thought, “That’s not actually anything to do with ‘political correctness’. That’s just treating other people with respect.”
Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we replaced the phrase “politically correct” wherever we could with “treating other people with respect”, and it made me smile.
You should try it. It’s peculiarly enlightening.
I know what you’re thinking now. You’re thinking “Oh my god, that’s treating other people with respect gone mad!”
