WACK: Turn Onin progress, v107

An illustrated field guide for teens and adults who feel too much, one word per page, from Off to On. It skips the therapy language and doesn't sanitize anything, and it closes with a full bibliography: Alan Watts, The Matrix, Rumi, Mary Oliver, Bowie's “Heroes,” and forty more names.

Stardust Dictionaryclosest to done, first edition

A flat, alphabetical dictionary of about 130 words, and the vocabulary every other book draws from. Its rule for any ambiguous entry is to pick “whichever definition is closer to the body, closer to quiet, closer to feeling — not the one closer to the noise of the mind.”

Outlaw Dictionaryin progress

The same cosmology at its rawest edge, unfiltered, written “for the person alone at 3am who needs to know they are not the only one.”

Peacemakerpremise stub, not started

Eight planets, each governing a force, locked in what looks like a perpetual war, built around a twist that reframes the whole thing without giving it away.

Playbound Citystub, not started

A picture book built from kids' own drawings, not an adult redraw of them, grown out of Jeremy's earlier Playbound venture (see Press).
