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

It technically is a statement, but I used the question mark to make it clear that I was looking for input, rather than simply stating a thought that required no response.

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

Finally catching up on Critical Role Convergence My god, Azune's really just a baby. Nobody better hurt him any more, he's been through enough.

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

Book 2 is fully done and released! This means that, finally, I can stop writing this one thing and start writing three other things, simultaneously! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#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.

#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 4 A Good Song Never Dies by Saint Motel. I heard it playing at the cinema recently and remembered I'd heard it before but forgotten to add it to my playlist. So now it is.

#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.

I think to some, a career you can enjoy where you might be treated like shit is better than a career you hate where you get treated semi-decently. Hopefully their experience and skill can land them a job elsewhere if that's what it comes to, but this shit is becoming frightfully common.

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.

A. J. Anderson @ajandersonauthor.com · 27/08/2026
I'd bet that the guy from Saltburn actually ran that strategy a few times before it finally panned out. He probably did at least one Saltburn per year just to make sure he had a better chance of it paying off. It's pretty unrealistic to think he could get that on attempt #1

I hate that this is the first I'm hearing of this being a thing. Feels like something that shouldn't have flown so easily under the radar for so long.

Nah fuck the KOTOR remake I don't want it anymore if saber's making it. I can replay the original whenever I like and not have to wonder whether it was written by actual writers or not

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...

Definitely not planning too. That'd make things unimaginably confusing.

Pretty excited to read it once I get the chance. Alas, I'm only up to book 5 and my TBR is a mountain
