The further and further I get into my indie author career I find myself falling back on the same difficult question. How the hell am I supposed to market a book when I, like everyone else, has to live in a world where horrible atrocities happen every day?

Substitute Teaching is just making a list of kids who want to go to bathroom eight times a day five days a week until I die.

People ask me: Zac, how can you Pants and entire 5 book series? Well, I just realized I should have a character secretly be another character 3 books in and holy shit it’s gonna absolutely blow your fucking socks off. That’s how.

Prospa tonight. Tattoo tomorrow. New Lanterns on Sunday. My book published on Tuesday. Now if I just didn’t have this stupid cough it be a perfect weekend.

Conversations I have during the drafting phase.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Am I writing book 3 too fast? Am I just becoming a better writer? Or have I spent so much time thinking about where this story is going that it’s coming out so much easier than the others?

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

First Book: 39 Chapters. Second Book: 38 Chapters. Third Book: I’m 15 Chapters in and it does NOT feel like I’m close to halfway.

After months of struggling not to get to angry on the internet to help promote my book I am shifting to a new method. I am now unbearably sassy.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Imposter Syndrome is real. Flip a coin and on that day I either hate my books or love them. Flip a coin and one that day I consider pulling them from everywhere and dropping a new one I know isn’t finished cause it’s just so good.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Hey! You know how Iwas talking about my book that’s in sale? The REALLY good one?? Well, the second is in pre-order for THIS MONTH. Maybe you should get it. It’s also REALLY good. www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6KGBG9...

PNC I know it’s automatic, and honestly very nice of you, but I don’t need an email twice a day reminding me I only have 20 dollars in my account. I don’t need an email to remind me I’m poor. 🫠

Three rules that have fundamentally changed my social media experience for the better. 1. If they don’t have a profile pic. BLOCK THEM. 2. If they have never posted before. BLOCK THEM. 3. If they have less than 10 followers. BLOCK THEM.

Whatever, if you want a foldable phone you can buy it. Duo? That’s what decided to call this fucker? I’m out.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Sometimes I sell a lot of books. Sometimes I sell none. But I always write on the company dime so it’s like I’m getting paid to do my dream job anyway.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

You know what’s weird? Saying I have two full books published. Would’ve never thought I’d get to the point where I was confident enough to do this.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I post about my book every day. Why? Well I want you to buy it. But also? I like to talk about the things I enjoy doing. And let me tell you, writing Book 3 has been a lot of fun.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

You know what really pissed me off? One I stopped trying to lose weight I started losing weight. Who knew eating 3800 calories a day was the secret.

I had a dream there was a really cool new Pokémon game. Ah well.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

After a long series of edits I’m back to writing. And I mean it when I say it. How the hell have I done this twice already.

000

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Just submitted the final version of my second book for pre-order. Do I take a break or… just start writing the third?

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Unfortunently I have had the most success at selling my book by just walking up to people in public and telling them to buy it.

000

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

The second book in the Cracked Kingdoms series is done!! Now begins the formatting. Crazy thing? I kinda like doing it.

000

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Hardest part about finishing edits on my second book? Explaining to people how proud I am and trying to convince them to read 1000 pages to get to the scene I want to talk about.

000

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I say this to my future readers. If there are errors, all I can say is. My bad dog. After 10 different edits, sometimes I still miss stuff.

Teachers indoctrinating kids? Brother, I’m lucky if they even remember my name.

Uh oh. It happened. Someone came up to me (young kid) to compliment my tattoos and then tell me all his ideas for his own. And… I hated it. What have I become?

“Lanterns is woke” Just wait till the MCU introduces the blue woman falls in love with a woman and turns herself into a man just so that they can have a son together. Yall gonna shit your britches.

Nothing pissed me off more than oweing an HOA money and then their online payment software requires me to have not 1, not 2, BUT THREE FUCKING TABS OPEN to complete the payment. Jesus Christ it shouldn’t be this hard to give someone money.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Halfway through edits on Book 2. Maybe it would a good time to buy Book 1. *wink wink

Money wouldn’t change me. I say as I look at the 10 foot tall Pazuzu statue I have in my cart that I’ll never be able to afford.

000

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

The hardest part of being an author is realizing how much better my second book is from my first. And that I spent literally half the time making it.

000

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

A quarter of the way through final edits. I promise this book is gonna come out by the end of September.

FUCK GEN AI Buy something that an actual human made.

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Are you annoyed I post every day about my ✨ Sale ✨? Well? Too bad, cause how will people know about my ✨ Sale ✨ if I don’t post about my ✨ Sale ✨? I don’t have any fancy marketing team to help me talk about my ✨ Sale ✨ so I have to do it all myself. You should buy my book it’s on ✨ Sale ✨!

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

You guys really should me becoming a world famous author. Cause then I’ll be able to get my entire body tattooed. How does that help you? Uhhh… ehh… well… artists supporting artists supporting artists?

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

The hard part apart marketing your book is sometimes I post something on Threads that gets 10k likes then I post something here and it gets… let me check… 1.

000

Zac Gray @thegraymage.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Who would make their 500 page LITRPG/Fantasy Ebook 2.99? All that work for like 7 cents in your pocket? You’re basically throwing money away!! Oh wait. That’s me.

What’s your favorite “Um, Actually?” in comic canon? Mine? Blade is ‘technically’ not a vampire.
