Misadventurer, vagabond, eccentric based out of Quebec City. Huge sci-fi fan. (Small sci-fi is great too.) Seeking representation for my debut sci-fi novel, "Time Traveler's Etiquette Guide." 👋🤓
Well, *that* was the single creepiest and over-the-top query rejection I've ever received. O_o Either they decided to *really* lawyer-up (especially in light of the KT Literary scandal), or I should be mildly worried haha

July 1 is Canada Day, except in Quebec, where it's the province-wide moving day, with every lease expiring at the same time. 🙃 Moving trucks everywhere, chaos galore, and piles of stuff near dumpsters... So much waste.
Well, I've crossed the Rubicon. :) After adding some finishing touches to my creepypasta sci-fi short film, I've submitted it to two film festivals. Toes and fingers crossed! Meanwhile, enjoy the poster I've made. ;) (Hey, I'm working on a $15 budget here. You don't get to judge me. :P )
I'm filling out a routine change-of-address form here in Quebec, and it looks like they've prepared for time travelers! 🙃 (Except for the ones from the 11th millennium. Nobody likes those guys.)
Ahaha I'd completely forgotten that I added a time travel joke to my Facebook work history section - back when it allowed you to mess with dates. ;)

I had forgotten my wall calendar came from a fundraiser. When I woke up and looked at it, instead of a pretty picture it had a page of vertical text, and that was easily the single most jarring, Matrix-like experience I've ever had. 🙃
I'm binge-watching obscure NASA videos for a little side project of mine ;) - and this is absolute gold: an astronaut trying out a new spacesuit next to an engineer wearing a bright Hawaiian shirt. :)

The first truly hot day of the year in the beautiful Quebec City. For once, my avatar is no longer relevant! :P Today had a bit of everything, and it was absolutely lovely. ❤️ I hope it was likewise with you, mes amis. :)
I officially hate e-books... Tried to take a screenshot of the first page of my favourite book for a friend, and couldn't even open it in my Kindle reader. Absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. A paperback would never dare to do that to you...
This is the official Amazon response: e-books bought in 2013 or thereabout routinely have issues - they're impossible to download without calling customer support... I'm tempted to never buy another e-book again.
Unacceptable.
The wisest thing I did was when I was 18 was *not* getting a face tattoo like Zell from Final Fantasy 8. (I still think that would've looked cool, though. :P ) But yup, one of the last Millennials without tattoos. We should be designated as an endangered species. ;)
I'm reading a collection of Neil Gaiman's essays, and this is absolute LOL-gold - and yet another reason I probably shouldn't have children. 🙃 (Pardon the cracked e-reader screen: it's still quite functional.)
Preparing for my Continental Divide Trail thru-hike in 2025... Less than a year until I sleep beneath the desert sky once more. :) Currently reading online trail journals of those who managed to hike the whole trail (a rare achievement: it's rougher than the PCT), and they've got some real gems. 🤣
Achievement unlocked! :) I've just bought a bunch of stamps at a discount at the local thrift store. Seriously, it's been my lifelong side quest to find someone who'd sell me postal stamps at a discount. It's like an instant investment return. 😎
