Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 03/06/2026It is hard to take an epic fantasy at face value when the name for the immortal evil antagonist is the same as a dog I once had. He was a nice dog and a dork, so it is now very very hard to take this book seriously 130
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Gonna start with the one on the left, see how the day goes 030

Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Contrary to all expectations, I continue to lurk in my volcano plotting things. It's just been a long summer y'all 030
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Protip: if your protagonist is still making dumb, impulsive mistakes 700 pages into the book that make the reader want to stab him, maybe the book isn't the heroic journey that you think it is 130
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Third book in a row where almost every paragraph is one line. Punctuated, for emphasis. Similes scattered like sesame seeds. Not randomly, but with whispered intent. Unassuming. Waiting. Whatever writing guide or workshop is pushing this style could you PLEASE STOP. It's making my eyelid twitch. 020
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Protip for anyone writing a book about the mafia: there are no umlauts in Italian 030
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 30/04/2025Quality over quantity, folks. Just got a client review which said my work was the most expensive, succinct (i.e. briefest), and slowest of all the reader reports they got. Also that mine was the best by far.media.tenor.coma little girl is wearing a scarf and holding a cup of coffee and a toothbrush .Alt: A confident young girl puts on sunglasses with an air of satisfaction 170
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 10/04/2025I thought this book was unfocused and boring but then it got weird and now I wish it was just unfocused and boring again 010
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 09/04/2025I like the use of old-school rhetoric in social media 020
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Protip: there are only so many bad decisions a protagonist can make before they start to aggravate the reader 011
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 08/04/2025It is not common for me to get a commission that's genuinely well-written, and when I do, I find four times out of five the clients do not believe me and accuse me of going easy on them 010

Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Guys, I respect whatever writing process works for you, but if you send me your book in thirty-five separate files because you start a new one for each chapter I am not going to be a happy camper 060
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 03/03/2025I strongly dislike it when people ask me to "grade" their book, as if for a class of some kind. Aside from the fact that this is reductive and simplistic (the style may be better than the structure e.g.) they never like the answer. If I say A, they don't believe me; if I say C, they get mad. 000
Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Protip: your prologue should not be 40 pages long 100

Big Bad Overlord @bigbadoverlord.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Just once this week I would like a plotline that is not driven by the impulsive actions of a protagonist who is 13 or is an adult but acts like they are 13 020
