I'm 61, I've been writing for 45 years, and I have nearly 35 novels in print; how recent is "recent"?
Most recent was realizing I could write a two-POV novel with four interleaved periods (reincarnation is involved), writing the flashbacks and alternating viewpoints in linear book-reading-order, without much effort. The hard part was shoehorning a unicorn v. velociraptor fight into a space opera!

@cstross amateur. I am writing (I have to) a Department Three-Year Plan (CS Department). And project reviews for a funding agency. I am sure the Laundry has such literature in some of its closets. 😑 🙄

@cstross Plausible Deniability ;)
Bojack is perhaps the most depressing cartoon I ever saw. Good stuff :) -
