Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is nothing. Like literally nothing. Just sit down, eat some yummy food, and do jack shit. #selfcare

Still one if not the best short of Love Death and Robots season 1. A must watch for anyone who creates.

Sometimes you just gotta read a mass market romance book your mom or grandma would read.

Gentle reminder but everytime you say “It’s cheaper on Amazon” THIS is what you’re supporting. Go to your local library and if you want to own the book, go to a bookstore(preferably local)! #booksky

I’m sorry but come someone tell me where this whole “if you have your villain doing bad things, you condone those actions” thing came from? Because when my next book drops, you’re gonna hate the antagonist for what he does in this one. 😶 #booksky

Is it bad I thought the movie Wicker was gonna be a prequel to The Wicker Man? More specifically the 1973 movie? 😶

Honestly this everything that going on with everything going on with Haunting Adeline, I’m so tempted to cancel my next book seeing that one Main Character 2 just up and Kidnaps Main Character 1 and MC2 kinda fits the tropes seen in Dark Romances. 🧵 #booksky

I seriously just HAD to start my author’s journey during a literacy crisis. God I have terrible timing, but I’m going to keep writing, even if the world turns its back on reading.

In honor of Octavia E. Butler’s birthday, who is one of my inspirations as a black sci-fi author, please take the time to read one of her books, start one of her series or indulge in one her short stories. Thank you. 💙 💫 (Also please read the Lilith’s Brood trilogy, it’s so good) #booksky

Hey so sorry for the radio silence. I’m not dead, writing takes time especially when writer’s block rears its ugly head. I’m still writing, just don’t have anything to show yet.

NASA just dropped 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. Too many to add to ArtemisTimeline.com, so I just put up a tool at ArtemisTimeline.com/vote so that people can vote on small batches allowing for all of the images to be sorted! (yes, I posted this before, but I had to fix something!)

I have no prank for today. And while I have one in mind, it won’t be until later in the future. So, it’s going to be premeditated. That’s your only warning.

Let’s not forget what Ursula K. Le Guin had to say about JKR and Harry Potter.
Remember when Ursula K. Le Guin savaged J.K. Rowling in a 2004 Guardian interview?

“I have no great opinion of [JK Rowling’s writing style]. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a ‘school novel’, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.”

Happy #WriterShareWednesday! here’s my book that came out last year: Neptia’s Galaxy Railway! In the distant future, an amnesiac stowaway meets the runaway heiress of a high-class galactic train line and they travel through space trying to figure out who he is and where he came from. 🧵
The cover to my book featuring the two main characters running in front of a set of pillars overlooking a distant galaxy.

The top text reads “Neptia’s Galaxy Railway”and “Tales From The Goldstar Line”

The bottom text reads “Trisha Shaw” and “Book 1”

When Terry Pratchett died it struck me that our door to the world inside his mind was forever closed. Other people could write Discworld books of course, but they would be their own interpretation - not bad but inherently different. I realised each human mind is a unique, limited resource

The fact that a play that has the quote “I wish I were an octopus...A FUCKING OCTOPUS!” is giving me some sort of comfort and helping me make sense during all of this better than any self help book is telling but not surprising. #booksky

With how bad “tropification” has gotten in the literature space, I have this strange feeling the only reason that a decent amount of people that are going to check out my next book is because of a very prevalent and popular trope is a side plot in it.
