Writer of fantasy | Destroyer of notebooks | I sometimes write music
Going in a bit late, so here's 1+2. Hi, I'm Jani! I write fantasy and occasionally dip into sci-fi. My debut WIP is an epic fantasy about a thief who steals an ancient memory. I've been writing steadily for the past 5 years. #FantasyIndiesNovember
June, 2020. My first attempt at a proper novel was a space-age Indiana Jones type adventure. I outlined the thing in one day, then jumped into it, fully expecting to get it done. Then I made the mistake of picking up Alastair Reynolds’s Revelation Space series. I gave up soon…

Done with Omarchy. It tried hard, but some machines are just too old to revive. Love the TUI and the ergonomics, but not sure it’s enough to break me out of the Apple bubble. For now.
Welp, I managed to crash @OmarchyLinux 5 minutes into it by launching the broswer. Then after restart, I did it again. It’s an old machine, but really, a fucking browser?
Finally
#FantasyIndiesNovember 5: Last read: The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett (4/5⭐️) Currently reading: Will of the Many by James Islington (TBD) Next read: probably Wasp bt Eric Frank Russel, but open to suggestions!
I often wonder if @BrandSanderson gave Kaladin the rank of Captain just so he could write this line. #cosmere
I cannot express how much I relate to this. Writing truly is #bliss
Building my own apps so no one can ruin my breakfast with “Daily meeting in 5 mins.”
#FantasyIndiesNovember 3: The Playlist. Lots of video game+movie OSTs and classical. No surprise Monkey Island and @garethcoker ‘s Ori suite take the top spots.
