Guess what'll be ready by Dragon*Con? Yep, my third volume of poetry, Tracks for the Troubadours. Not only that, but also a new volume from Brittany Wilcox called Eye Bleach.

Because a writer is only as good as the next book, I have compiled & am editing the followup to Giddy and Euphoric. It's currently titled My Barbaric Yawp: More Essays on Writing and Reading. Expect a surprise writer for the introduction. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslift

Just sent a note to the folks who do James Rubel's estate, asking what it would take to obtain permission to write a new adventure featuring his female detective, Eli Donovan, who appeared in only 1 book, 1 of my favorite mystery novels, No Business for a Lady. #amwriting #writingcommunity #hopeful

A little more than 65k words, folks, and that is a novel in the can. Well, the first draft anyway. You'd believe the pride and excitement I feel right now. I made a goal to finish the novel in the 8 weeks of summer, and I did it. Viva la me! #writingcommunity #writerslift #amwriting #authors

Haven't heard of this trend. Is this on your radar, fellow writers? Seems counterproductive to me.

seanhtaylor (unsolicited services via DMs will get you blocked) @seanhtaylor.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

In case you don't realize the magnitude of the joy I'm experiencing, I gave myself a goal to write a novel during summer break. I'm a teacher & I get roughly 8 weeks of summer. I have 1 more chapter plus the denouement to go, & I am on target to have all that finished by EOD Wednesday. #amwriting

5k words 2day. That brings the novel to 60k+. 1 chapter to go for the big conclusion. Then 1 denouement chapter. (1 of the cozy tropes I'm keeping.) Should be done by EOD Wed. before I start school on Thurs. That way, I can say I knocked out the novel in two months like I had hoped to. #amwriting

I did it. I hit 55,000 words on the novel. That's 30,000 words for the week, actually achieving my goal for the private writing retreat. Roughly 12,000 more to go. The final act has begun and our poor heroine finds herself in hot water. But I'm not saying more. That would be "spoilers darling."

seanhtaylor (unsolicited services via DMs will get you blocked) @seanhtaylor.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

5,000 words today. That brings the total to 53,000. So close to the 65-70k mark I can almost taste it. We're zoom-zooming our way into the final act now. Let's just hope our dear Miss Jordan Baker can keep herself and her friends safe.

Okay, ladies and gents and all shades in between. I have arrived at the 48,000-word mark on the novel, so I'm calling it a night. That's 6000 words for the day, and I feel like they were all good words. #writingcommunity #writerslift #amwriting
