I've been struggling to maintain so many social media accounts. I'm thinking of dropping Facebook and Twitter. And adding Instagram. Instagram and TikTok have been popular for my Collectibles business. Need to figure out the same for Factor Four. Share your thoughts on social media management.

New day at #nwc48. I am not on any panels today. But I plan to attend quite a few. Plus the art show. And many other cool things to see. But first some breakfast. Shameless plug, but my first sci-fi series is available at the Bardhwood Book Nook right next to registration. Get your signed copy!

Sorry to everyone and anyone that came or tuned in on Twitch to watch me read @norwescon.org. I've not really got a good reason I was skipped on the reading other than they didnt know I was there. But they were very apologetic for the mistake. Maybe next year. #nwc48

Getting close to some announcements for my next novel. The very talented @elhyana.bsky.social is doing the cover art. You'll see her bring two new characters from the series to life. For now, here is her art on the first book, A Conflict of Destiny and Desire. Available now on Amazon. a.co/d/1oxOUQA

I'm fairly new into anime (some day I'll have to stop saying it). Watching Frieren now. There is a lot going on in Frieren but this line has to be the most bad ass so far. I was like Damn!

Last day of #WorldCon. Staring the morning listening to a panel on Building an Author business. I don't have much on the schedule today. I have art to pick up. I go back to the day job tomorrow, so I'll probably drive home early.

So, after my trip to Japan, I've decided Duolingo is not the business. What language apps do you all recommend for learning Japanese? I have LingoDeer on my short list.

I'm really struggling to manage multiple social platforms. And frankly don't enjoy Twitter as much. Those of you that have left Twitter completely for Bluesky, how's it been? Good engagement? Better connection with fans/friends?

Day 3 of #WorldCon I'm starting my day listening to a panel on gamifying your IP. At 4:30 this afternoon, I'll be participating on the panel Hooking Readers with a Series.

Today's Short Fiction meet up at #WorldCon was a great success. Definitely exciting to hear from my peers in this space.

Richard Flores IV @flores-factor.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

Anyone at #WorldCon this week? I haven't been in so many years and I've overheard a number of other people say the same. I already wish I'd come back sooner.

My biggest fear was realized. No one has yet shown up for my table talk at WorldCon.

On my way to Worldcon. Taking the light rail in.

Richard Flores IV @flores-factor.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

I am really excited to return to the Con scene. I haven't been to a WorldCon since before Covid. Hopefully everyone didn't forget who I was.

Richard Flores IV @flores-factor.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Very excited to be attending Seattle Worldcon this year. I've been away from the convention scene for too many years and am looking forward to getting back into it. If you will be there, I have a few thinks I'll be participating in. Take a look: builder.guidebook.com/g/#/guides/s...
