Trying to decide on what book I'll write next has been a lot more difficult than I expected. There's more pressure on having a really solid idea because I actually plan on querying this one, so it's not easy to lock in any one concept. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I'm curious what people think is a reasonable price for a book these days? I just picked one up for $45 as a gift, and I couldn't help but chafe at that price tag, especially given the book itself was 200 pages. #WriteSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity

It's nice to be reading a book that's not my own for the first time in months. Like listening to yourself speak, reading your own writing can get very grating after a while. I'm enjoying The Dragon Republic so far. Hopefully I continue to do so, because Poppy War let me down. #BookSky #WriteSky

#SongsOfSeptember 8 I really have two many focal characters for this to be feasible. I keep it to a playlist per series/world and just refer to those when needed.

A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 07/09/2026

#SongsOfSeptember 7 If this were a jukebox musical, I think Queen Cecilia would probably sing parts of Ash Again a few times, before having the full song as a duet with Artorius during the climax.

#SongsOfSeptember 6 This actually fits a lot of characters throughout the series, but what happens to Andula at the beginning of book 2 probably fits best.

I listened to this multiple times while writing the last chapter of book 1 featuring Raph and Nath. Their story in that book isn't strictly romantic, but the vibe of the song really helped me get into the tone of the scene. #SongsOfSeptember 5

#SongsOfSeptember 3 Paris Paloma's 'The Rider' was the initial inspiration for Leonora as a character I played in DnD and eventually evolved into an important figure throughout The Doomsday Mosaic.

#SongsOfSeptember 2 There's never one song that can encapsulate an entire story or book, espeically with so many characters with very different motives and arcs, but Compass by Mili is one I come back to a lot regarding a main plot point that surrounds a few characters.

Hello #SongsOfSeptember I'm AJ Anderson and I'm currently editing my second book. I've had many 'favourite' songs over the years, but Do I Wanna Know? is one I come back to a lot. Phantom Liberty is also a contender. Neither are on my writing list because they don't really fit the vibe (yet).

Even if this wasn't bullshit, the absolute nerve to suggest using ai and think that's something any indie author would fuck with is insane. I'm not going to pay you so you can churn out slop based on my work while also destroying the planet. I gain nothing from that. Fuck off.

I really enjoyed taking part in Art Fight this year. I haven't really being doing as much drawing recently, as I've been entirely focused on more pressing projects, but it was a good excuse to get back into it. Thanks to those who revenged on me, and I'll look forward to doing more next year!

To those going to the Sunshine Coast Fiction Festival this year. I will be in attendance as an author, with two books on offer. Figured I should probably post my pre order form here in case anyone else going was interested to check some stuff out before the day. beventi.co/orderform/ts...

I gotta say that Charles Soule writing Venom is one of the best crossovers I could have possibly hoped for. I had a feeling the team was building up to Soule taking over, after he joined on for the Brock/Carnage story, and I'm so glad to be proven right.

Back when the weather was less cold, I would sit outside and write of a morning. I have a specific playlist for any stories I write within this world, but sometimes I'd just let it go through my regular playlist as well and that would be just as helpful at times. #TBBChat #WriteSky

I've kind of always wanted to cosplay Ben Solo from The Rise of Skywalker after he's come back to the light. He's literally just wearing black pants and a black long sleeve shirt, so it'd be the easiest cosplay of a character I like that I could possibly pull off. #TBBChat

A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 19/07/2026

For the longest time, my answer would have been no, but the night before last I did have a dream with the villain of my current WIP in it. Nothing else about the dream's premise had anything to do with my own work, but Echidna was there and she was as threatening as ever. #TBBChat #WriteSky

Tough one... I think as far as sheer strangeness of source goes, I think I'd have to say the Bible? The inspirations are very surface level, but they did give me some ideas for what my next book will be about, and the way it'll be structured. #TBBChat #WriteSky

A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 19/07/2026

Depending on the book, I've done both. DbD and AFaDG were both fully planned out on obsidian, but for my next book I've taken to writing the plot out by hand to get a general rough feel for things, before I lock it in digitally. #TBBChat #WriteSky

I think I've decided that my next book (the one after my current wip) will be the one that I attempt to publish properly. I was going to wait until I've finished this series, but a break would be nice, and I can write books 3 and 4 while in the midst of querying. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Most of the time it comes from other stories. I'll see a small detail or plot development I like and wonder what I would do with it myself, expanding it and shifting it until it no longer resembles its inspiration in the slightest.
