Something about me is I really enjoy Lizzy McAlpine’s music and currently have her song “reckless driving (feat. Ben Kessler)” on repeat. It’s honestly giving me Orpheus and Eurydice vibes but that might just be my interpretation Something else about me… I love Hadestown That is all 😌

Air quality is super horrendous recently so I’ve been wearing a mask at work (grocery store). It’s “interesting” how I’ve gotten multiple comments about it and from a lot of women it’s when kids ask and they tell them “probably the smoke” From men it’s “uh oh, doing the fake covid thing again” -_-

I did it!!!! Just hit 100% and wrote “the end” on my current WIP #writingcommunity #WIP #Drafting #writing (Ignore the start date. That’s just when I had the initial idea and not when I started writing lol)

A screenshot of various metadata for my book The Sound of a soul. “Progress” is highlighted at 100%

I wish there were apprenticeships for writers where you work under a mid lister or something and get paid a livable wage while you’re writing. Like, they could give advice and pointers and you don’t have to have some other stupid 9-5 while you work toward being a full time author. Just a thought

Going back to work after a week and a half away shouldn’t fill me will such dread/anxiety. Guess I really am burnt out :/

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 25/05/2026

Back from my big weddings trip to the east coast. Recovering slowly… My body is sooo tired it’s wild. Not looking forward to work tomorrow haha

At the rate things are going I might need a vacation after my vacation. It’s a lot of fun but also SOOO draining

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 11/05/2026

Having to work 6 days in a row and get on a plane the sixth day for your vacation because you’re not given enough vacation time to ease that schedule… It’s rough, and I’ll be working 6 in a row once back…

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 06/05/2026

Have to close at work today but still managed to get up in the morning like usual and get 4 major items knocked off my list of todos!! 😤 Now I’m exhausted but feel really happy. Still have to go into work in less than two hours but man did I do a ton of good shit!!

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 05/05/2026

Just finished watching Hamnet not too long ago and….. man. Beautiful movie, heart wrenching tragedy with such a strong core about grief. I cried waaaay too much. I’m not okay 😭😭😭

Sad thing is, realistically, only one hit and the level would be over and the disaster of a vehicle destroyed. They’ll literally have to buff the car just to give you more time to beat up on it

I’d say it’s just a tragedy about how parents failed their children and the cost of adults feuding needlessly for reputation and other made up stuff

I’m going and I write about it and then I’ll call him back to tell you about the story …. Wow, just…. Pure poetry 😂 The “it” in question is my universe called the Void where magic is very prevalent in every world cause these gods are trying something new. I have a studio Ghibli style writing

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 30/04/2026

Forget tropes. Tell me what your book is REALLY about. The Sound of a Soul is about a musician on his search for true peace, where he must fight in a war he didn’t start to save his underground community before void-like creatures wipe everything out.

There’s burnout and there’s… I feel dead inside at my job as I do the same repetitive things every day while my inner version screams. My body keeps moving but inside I’m on my knees, clutching my head with my entire body on fire, screaming, crying, shaking… I have good days, but when they’re bad-

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 26/04/2026

Another chapter down! 8 more to go (ish). Feels great to stay consistent even if it’s slower than I’d like :)

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 21/04/2026

Finally getting to play flesh and blood (card game) again at my local game store. The past two months have been crazy! Time for some pure joy 😊

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 20/04/2026

One day, I won’t have to do a closing shift at work (till 11pm) and what a glorious day that’ll be

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 18/04/2026

Why is it the days I’m sick and stressed and tired I get the most done? Like, I stayed home from work to rest, which I did, but I also did a TON of other shit I didn’t HAVE to do but wanted to do and was really productive… wild Feels dumb

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 16/04/2026

In hindsight, I recommend wearing a mask or something when cleaning a dirty/dusty garage… my sinuses are stuffed, inflamed, and sleep has been rough the past two nights. Still glad I cleaned it… but not enjoying the current state of my health

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 15/04/2026

I love biking. I work close to home so I bike to work. Now, when it’s raining, I VERY MUCH dislike it. Basically, I walk into work looking like I didn’t make it to the bathroom in time for a number 3 😑 (I don’t have fancy bike flaps or anything for the back tire. My bad I guess)

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 14/04/2026

There are at least two different types of people when it comes to taxes. Those who do them ASAP the beginning of February, and those who remind me the deadline isn’t until April which seems absolutely wild. I want that stuff done immediately hahahaha

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 14/04/2026

Just did some spring cleaning of my garage and man…. Feels so so good! I love getting rid of junk and organizing stuff ❤️

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 13/04/2026

One day, when I achieve my dream of being a full time author, I won’t have to work a day job that often sucks the life out of me for very little pay. One day

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 12/04/2026

Exciting news!!! Not only can you now read my writing on patreon for just 1$ a month! BUT, draft one of my book THE FORGOTTEN AFFINITY is available for anyone who signs up. (Even as a free member) **Draft 1 was titled THE UNKNOWN AFFINITY ** So please enjoy my Studio Ghibli-esque writing 🦋❤️

🦋Jonathan Pierson🦋 @jonathanpierson.com · 10/04/2026

Wrote another chapter today (about 1800 words) and added a verse to one of the diegetic songs (my WIP is about a musician) so now I’m over 3/4ths of the way through the book!!! 76% #WIP #writingcommunity It just feels really good 😊

This quote comes from a talk Ursula gave as part of the Portland Arts & Lectures program of Literary Arts. You can listen to the whole thing here: literary-arts.org/archive/ursu...

"Beneath memory and experience, beneath imagination and invention, beneath words, there are rhythms to which memory and imagination and words all move. The writer's job is to go down deep enough to feel that rhythm, find it, move to it, be moved by it, and let it move memory and imagination to find words." — Ursula K. Le Guin, 2000

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

CONGRATS! finally making enough to get rid of that day job. Well done! 😉😏 And if you were Actually thinking of quitting writing… *hiss* bad. Big no no. Take a mental break for an hour or so then hold those hands on the keyboard for ten minutes! (Might end up more if you’re lucky)

I got an amazing shoutout from my friend in his newsletter and just wanted to share it here. He described my writing style better than I could, honestly #writingcommunity #awesomefriends

An email with the following text:

This creator shoutout goes to an amazing friend I've known for over 20 years.

Jonathan Pierson - Fantasy Writer

Jonathan writes books like Studio Ghibli makes movies. In saying that, I don't just mean the stories he creates are great, but also that his writing style is heavily influenced by Japanese storytelling.
There isn't always a clear cut villain, and there's something that feels different about the progression of the story. In a way, characters are freed from always needing to be the hero and are instead allowed to live and breathe within their world.
Jonathan consistently posts first-draft chapters on his Patreon which you can find by clicking this link, or you can learn more about his books by visiting his website. I'm sure he would be thrilled to have your support!
That's all for this shoutout. Keep your dream life in sight!

This also helps me to get through my TBR because on work nights I don’t worry about writing and ultimately doom scroll or watch anime, but instead can choose to watch anime (or lately) read a book. A PHYSICAL BOOK! Not just audiobooks! I love it 🥰

Another chapter down. It’s astonishing how focusing my schedule to write 1-2 days a week and not forcing myself to write every single day has led me to write consistently and stress less…. Like I knew the concept well but am surprised by the actual results. Current WIP 63% done #writingcommunity
