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!

Day three of #NWC48! Readings start at 9 a.m and gaming and panels start at 10 a.m. The con lounge opens at 9 a.m., and the BIPOC & AAPI and Oasis (quiet) lounges open at noon. The first art-in-action demonstration is Brittany Otto with hand-cut layered paper artwork at 10 a.m. in the art show.

They asked if I would be back next year so they could make it up to me and I hope @norwescon.org will invite me to be a panelist next year. And at that time hopefully a reading will be possible. I was just sad and it did amplify my imposter syndrome.

Richard Flores IV @flores-factor.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Thank you Hoku. It isn't really the conventions fault. They put me on the reading and I'm grateful they've invited me to so many panels. It was another group that moderated this reading panel that missed my presence there. I talked to them after but the live stream had ended by then.

However I have one more panel Sunday at noon in Evergreen 3 and 4. Please come see me there. Also you can reach out if you'd like to meet sometime this weekend. #nwc48

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!

No worries! Hope you're enjoying the experience

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.

Richard Flores IV @flores-factor.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

I have Mango too but I found it difficult to follow. Maybe I need to give it a second chance.

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.

Richard Flores IV @flores-factor.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

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.

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

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

Day two of #WorldCon. Starting off with attending a panel on Strong Female Leads.

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.

Richard Flores IV @flores-factor.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

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

Richard Flores IV @flores-factor.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

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...
