I have been making art my whole life but the most amount of work I have put into any project is these two books: Bell’s Codex and my magnum opus.

The premise is that an author releases a book encrypted in a secret code and offers a reward for solving it. Bell’s Codex is a novel about people trying to solve it. my magnum opus is the ACTUAL code from the story which I created as well. The is real and the clues for solving it are in the novel!

@Alfred what is something unique but appropriate that I could serve at thanksgiving?

Retirement party for my father in law tonight, hosted at my house. So many good vibes from a fun crew. I needed a happy night like this.

In times of chaos and unhappiness I take great pleasure in being an author and retreating into worlds of my own creation. I am hoping others will join me here looking for an escape themselves.

At the end of September I got a response from the American cyptography association saying that they were interested in my cryptographic novel Bell’s Codex. I was really hoping that this would have been the home that project was looking for. Just got a response from them again saying they reviewed it for their group but didn’t recommend it. They said that it would be too much work and I didn’t give enough information. Definitely disappointed.

Maybe my future is in erotica and not puzzles.

Bought some QR code stickers for my website that I have been sticking to the back of my MOD prints. Have left a few of these prints laying around.

Wife approves of the short story. Waiting on my editor!

Out of the 5000 words, 1000 of it is a sex scene, haha. Got to give people a taste of the novel I’m working on!

Finished my erotic thriller short story! Only ended up being just over my goal at 5127 words! Sent it off to my editor. Get ready!

4000 words into a short story I am writing as a break from my novel. My initial goal was 5000 words but I think it will end up being a little over
6.

The genre is an erotic thriller like my . I want to give people a taste of what I am up to so I can hopefully drum up some excitement about this much larger writing project.

I should be done writing in the next couple days and once my editor looks at it I will share it for free on my blog. You will all be the first to know.

Loving this conversation @corlin. Hope you are enjoying it too. @MLClark

@corlin sent you a response Monday for whenever you’re ready! @MLClark

Took my “Meditate On Death” stamp out for a spin today. Works great. Did a video of myself making the prints and talking about it! Check it out!

45 minute yoga tonight. Nice little pick me up.

I haven’t shared my song “Analog” in a while. For those of you who have been spending too much time online, maybe have a listen!

“No more time for digital lives
Gimme analog vibes…”

I have an idea for the short story I am going to write. Over 40,000 words into my novel and I need a quick break to stretch my writing legs a bit. Going to share this short story on my blog when I’m done!

My next project is going to be to write a short story and share it on my blog for free.
