Intense co-author conversation about even more intense authorial regret. As always, @travisbach.bsky.social is the reasonable one. #booksky

It's launch day! @rachel-aaron.bsky.social 's and my #5e based book series has a book 2 now. This is our technomagical take on #D&D. It's a dungeon running action-comedy full of "OMG, did he really just say that on TV?" rachelaaron.net/death-has-go... #DnD

There's too many threads in this plot. Too many characters needing a spot. I just killed an idea that I'd much rather stayed here, But there's too many threads in this plot!

In the stage of indie authordom where I'm too busy doing launch stuff to write. Not complaining, I actually like the business/marketing side, but I'm watching days sliding off the calendar like

I have sooooo had it with touch pads. Can we just bring back buttons? Real ones that make a sound or give some sort of tactile feedback when I push them? Please, for the love of my sanity? *mashes finger angrily against fancy fan that has a touch pad for some ungodly reason*

In other news, brainstorming plot is the hardest part of writing. I can write planned scenes all day no problem, but doing the actual planning and figuring of what happens when to whom? My brain is cooked after the first hour. #amwriting #writinglife

I'm always so nervous going into a new audiobook because the characters never sound the same as they do in my head, but Nick absolutely nails the characters and comedic timing. I've gotten to the point where I write scenes specifically so I can hear him read them. #audiobook

I often forget to mention this, but DEATH HAS JOINED THE PARTY is also available as an Audible audiobook and free through Audible Plus! We're recording book 2 right now, which has reminded me just how stinking good the audio versions are! Try it if you haven't already at amzn.to/4hdcMrL

The first book was SO good! Book two is an immediate pre-order. @rachel-aaron.bsky.social and @travisbach.bsky.social really nailed this series in terms of world-building, characters, and vibes. It's great all the way down. #Booksky #LitRPG #🪐📚

Fun fact! @travisbach.bsky.social and I actually commissioned 2 different covers for DEATH HAS GONE ROGUE because we couldn't decide. We ended up going with the dragon by Paris Ioannou, but we LOVED this hilarious art by @steelsuit.bsky.social that will probably be the cover for book 3. #fantasyart

Bro, Weyland-Yutani needs to stop naming all their ships after ominous sounding historical stuff. You're not going to have problems with xenomorphs on something called the Star Goose, I'll tell you that much.

Juuuust got into knitting and let's just say I can already see where all my fun money for the next year is going. I've also developed a sudden obsessive interest in birds. Is there some sort of switch that gets clicked when you enter your mid 40s?

I know this is hardly a hot take, but as someone who uses music specifically to sink into the creative trance needed for writing, there is a special place in hell for people who put ALARM CLOCKS and TIMERS beeping in the background of songs. #amwriting

1990s trance was something else. Saxophone solos? Sure, why not. Completely nonsense spoken-word interludes? Bring 'em on. Random computer noises? Now you're talking! Modems are music. Let the dial-up internet carry you away.

Just finished Minimum Wage Magic by @rachel-aaron.bsky.social, a lovely read that i don't wish to reduce to Urban Fantasy but lack the appropriate genre to suggest it to folks otherwise. Great characters and pacing to boot!
