Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 11/10/202675.2k words at the start of the penultimate chapter. After the main story is complete, I still have about four parallel chapters important to the climax to write. It's so close, and I'm so excited, I think when I finish the last chapter I'll announce the name. #author #booksky #scifi #debut 140
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 10/10/2026WOAH. He was off duty, but still. ICE agent was asleep in the front lawn of a private residence in CA. 72 year old man tried to wake him, agent got physical with the man's daughter, so the man shot him.

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 07/10/202671.8k words. THE chapter is finished. Three main chapters left, four for the parallel plot that leads to this moment. Soon. #scifi #booksky #novel #author #thecyclestops 050
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Another goofy misspelling: "The room that the hallway opened up to was a large utility area, full of popes and conduit." How many Popes can one fit in a standard basement? #writingmemes #booksky #scifi #author #thecyclestops 070
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I appreciate the repost, @tmshannonauthor.com ! I'm excited to be this close to end of the first draft. 110
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Holy fuck, I hope this hits as hard as it hit me to write. Talk about a full-circle moment. Also, five followers left until the next character reveal. #scifi #writing #author #booksky #thecyclestops 151

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Not at all, unfortunately. It's been in my head for a while. 100
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Just finished writing the chapter before the climax. I hope everyone who reads it is as furious as I was writing it. I hope it's uncomfortable. I hope it twists your stomach into knots. #scifi #writing #booksky #novel #thecyclestops 140
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 06/10/2026While I'll need to go back and write the chapters for the secondary plot, I am approaching the end of the main storyline for draft one. It's about to get intense. #scifi #storytelling #novel #booksky #thecyclestops 050

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Did some quick maffs: Expecting Draft 1 to be about 86k words. Seems comfortable. I did this because I'm approaching the final stretch. This may be the angriest moment in the story, and I cannot WAIT to put it on paper. #writing #booksky #scifi #novel #thecyclestops 050
Reposted by Jesse GugginoJesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I used to be worried that I was going to write something that would be too violent or off-putting. Given the last decade and especially very recent events, I hope it is cathartic to read something so angry when it's ready for release. 011

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Whoops. Misspelled "sorrow" as "sowwow" and now I can't get The Princess Bride out of my head. #writing #writingmemes #author 020

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 30/09/2026In writing this angry novel, I'm happy to announce that I've included a character flipping the bird to another as a break in the tension. #booksky #writing #storytelling #scifi #thecyclestops 060
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I love when shuffling music grants a once in a blue moon legendary run of songs while I'm writing. I started with Lockdown by Steve Jablonsky, and it has made its way through similar vibes to Wardruna. Shame that I have to get up and wander now. #writing #music #booksky #author #thecyclestops 081
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 30/09/2026All these games and nobody to play with is a curse. If you haven't already, give Betrayal at the House on the Hill a shot. 000
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Does an emotionally heavy, character driven story about surviving, trauma, and grief in a sci-fi setting that creates more questions than answers sound like a good idea to you? If so, you might be interested in what I'm writing. #booksky #novel #scifi #storytelling #thecyclestops 060

Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Also as a reminder, still thinking about that next reveal a t 150 followers. Currently at 140. Them's rookie numbers. Help me bump them up. 010
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 25/09/2026There we go. 56k words. Current estimate of a little over 300-ish pages if in A5 format. Plenty more to go. I'm sure things will get cut or moved around after I finish the first draft, but it's looking good. Keep it tuned here. #novel #writing #booksky #scifi #thecyclestops 070
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Have y'all seen the Pete Ricketts attack ad in Nebraska? "I'm Pete Ricketts. If you legalize marijuana, you're gonna kill your kids." [Pete then uses hyperbeam on a child.] [This is not hyperbole.] [This is a real frame.] [Holy shit.] #politicalads #politics #vote #fdt #pokemon 010
Jesse Guggino @jesseguggino.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Can't quite shake the cobwebs loose yet, so I'm stretching the writing muscles with something else. Don't worry, back on track soon. #writing #novel #storytelling #scifi #thecyclestops 031
