I wrote down a bunch of ideas for a possible third novel yesterday. I don’t hate all of them, but I’m not thrilled with most. I then drafted a bit of content. I liked the ideas, but hated the execution. I’m going to let this sit for a long time before I decide if I will commit.18 Jul 2026 17:05 +0000at://did:plc:eegitq7avm3ytqgot6zsvtew/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqwqqcqy7c2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/patricksrarebooks.bsky.social/post/3mqwi3mctxk25For your theology library.

I’m finally reading this book of ghost stories which was given to me by a reader of The Grave Below. He said my writing reminded him of this book. I see why.
