The first #horror book has entered our LFL! I'll be adding lots more through October! 🎃👻 * Yes, you read the date right. I guess I got a bit ahead of myself there! 😂

By day, it seems to be an ordinary Little Free Library...but at night its true powers are revealed! I finally finished building our LFL! Yes, it's full of kids' books at present (which was not the original plan! 😂), but I'll be adding signed books and a horror section soon! 👻🖤

If you want to be a successful writer, the most important tool in your box is perseverance. Successful writers aren't always the best writers, but they are the ones who turn up day after day, year after year 🖤.

Here's to all the writers, pacing their offices, repeatedly acting out the action they're trying to describe, in the hope they can summon the word for that action from the dark recesses of their brains. I see you, and yeah, I do this most days 🖤

Hey, you! Yes, you! Would you like a signed spooky book from me this Halloween 🎃? I'm doing a big mail-out at the end of this month. I have copies of REMAINS, THE COCKROACH KING, WHILE I WAS GONE, and BONES. $25 USD per book (postage from Aus 🦘 included). Drop me a DM/comment if you'd like one 🖤

It's Monday here in Australia, and anything you manage to write today is a bonus. Mondays are tough. Coming off a busy weekend with the kids, maybe bad sleep Sunday night (both for me this week!), it can be hard to get your brain in gear. 50, 500 words - it's all progress, and progress makes books🖤

It's spring here in Australia, the time of year when I squint really hard and try to pretend it's actually autumn so I can get into the Spooky Season spirit 🎃👻.

I spent last week working on a super exciting project I can't talk about yet, with people I can't mention for now, for something...that could have to do with movies. You might feel that no one's reading your books, but you'd be surprised by how far your stories travel 🖤

It's great to see politicians acknowledging the genocide in Gaza and calling out Netanyahu, but, seriously, how late to the party can you be? The arrest warrant for Netanyahu was issued in November 2024! The ICC had enough evidence 18 months ago, and now pollies are speaking up?

Me: *sits down to write* "Okay, 500 words today and I'm back on track..." My brain: "That's what you think, buddy." Me: *writes fifteen-hundred-word outline for a new story* Also Me: "Come on, brain!" 🧠 To be fair to my brain, I like this new idea, but now really isn't the time! 🖤

Seeing stock image websites offering AI image generation memberships is just totally bananas to me. So, we can buy credits to buy images that cost you nothing to make, were stolen from creators (that's what AI image generation is), and then use those slop images under a limited license? WTF? NO.

Sure, a bad project sucks, so do rejections (I hate that term), crappy reviews, and no one reading your work. But you know what sucks more? Giving up before you cracked that fucking awesome book you have in you. Turn the music up, scream, break something, then get back to work. You got this 🖤

Unless you turned up to the Met Gala in a sleeping bag, we have nothing to say to one another. Rich people: "Yay, the world's on fire, people can't afford to eat, let's have a big party to show off how rich we are." Met Gala ticket: $100,000 Cost to house a homeless person for a year: $20,000 🖤

🧵 1/2 As Easter approaches, and our minds turn to chocolate, it's worth remembering that #Nestle doesn't think that access to water is a human right, that they've been caught using child labor (as recently as 2021). They sell baby products designed to addict newborns...
