About this site

Hi, I'm Daniel Verastiqui—a science fiction author, tech professional, and lifelong practitioner of structured procrastination. Deadline Avoidance is where I put all the writing that doesn’t quite fit on my author site. Think: essays, rants, tech experiments, career musings, and the occasional opinion I probably should’ve kept to myself.

This blog exists because I needed a place to write about writing without confusing the people just trying to read my books. If you're looking for the cyberpunk murder mysteries, synthetic humans, or anything related to the Vinestead Universe, you’ll want to head over to danielverastiqui.com.

Otherwise, welcome. Stay as long as you like. New posts arrive whenever I'm avoiding something else.
