I'm stuck on one of the worst writer problems. I have written and edited just over 20,000 words in the past three days. Normally this would be a huge success! But it is supposed to be a three paragraph blurb about my next book and it still doesn't feel right. #booksky #indieauthorlife

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

The comma after "Hello" is making me laugh so hard. And what is off with that "Whatever you need from government..." phrasing? It feels so weird.

Marketing books these days is so focused on tropes. I am not a fan, but I am trapped by algorithmically generated audiences, so I'm doing my best when I am not 100% sure what everything is. #booksky #BookLovers #indieauthors

Oh come on Star Trek! I've been writing about a hidden world of magic in a sci-fi universe for years and you manage to beat me to having a dragon attack a starship! 3 books and years of writing and you just get it out first. Not fair!! #booksky

If you enjoy the idea of a dragon fighting a star ship, like has been seen in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, you need to check out my Nox Astra series! A hidden world of magic where humanity went to the stars alongside the legends of Earth. Their secret wars for power continue even in a sci-fi space

You can request review copies directly from authors. It will be a digital copy, but most don't mind sending them, since that's what publishers would do. I always give review copies! Just ask!

I do not need to be told not to engage with Harry Potter for the same reason I do not need to be told not to eat baby food. I am an adult, I have no reason to engaged with things designed and meant for children. The transphobic and bigoted nature of it is just a sprinkling on top.

Of course Noel thinks this. He is wrong, of course, but it is characteristic of him to think there is nuance in the cause of anything in 40k or 30k. The true reason the galaxy is so messed up is because frog wizards didn't offer universal healthcare.

Swan Boy is the modern Achewood. If you don't know what that means, it's basically the highest compliment that can be paid to a webcomic. Chaotic, crass, but with plenty of heart, its hard to describe. The only way to understand is to read Start of one of my fave arcs: swanboy.com/comic/injure...

You don't have to be a writer if you don't want to write. There is nothing forcing you to release a book with your name on it, you do not have to fake making one just to qualify.
