I think I just cracked the fundamental mythology of my next book. Oh MAN, this is so metal 😆 #WritingCommunity #amwritingfantasy #brainstorming #BookSky

Ooh! I have a good (and similar) one! Very many traditionally published authors--even through major houses--never "earn out": meaning their book sales don't reach the numbers necessary for them to see ANY royalties. You don't get royalties until your book sales equal out your advance.

Expecting some potential 👀 news this week...

I've read that there are a lot of people who are never really anxious about anything that isn't actually a present danger and I literally cannot fathom how quiet their minds must be. Seems nice.

Somehow, this feels more appropriate (and stunningly beautiful) every single day: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0yt...

One of the absolute coolest things about being an author is getting to meet (and even be friends with) other authors. #WritingCommunity #author

Urge to start writing new book... RISING!

There's something utterly hilarious about literally writing dramatic things for a living and still getting outdone by what's ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

Why is childcare SO hard to get sorted?? Every time I think we've got it worked out... NOPE.

To quote something @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social said recently that is living, quite happily, in my head: "Hope is correct." And if I may add one word to that: Always.

And with that, my long-awaited #WIP is in my agent's wonderful hands! And I will eat a Blizzard because I deserve it 😂

#SouthofMidnight feels SO MUCH like a YA book turned into a game and I ADORE it for that.

I'm nearing a point on this #WIP that I need to send it to my agent just so I have someone else to have feelings about it with. 1 chapter to go!! #amediting

@kellybarnhill.bsky.social I saw you're active here & just wanted to say that your stories are amazing. The Girl Who Drank the Moon is among the greatest prose I've ever read. My wife is obsessed with The Witches' Boy. Thank you for your stories!

Literary agents are just really cool people, and its lovely (and a blessing, I know) that I can engage with them now without the angst of querying behind it all.

Well, kid didn't sleep so I didn't sleep and the childcare just called in sick so... Great start to the week!

I have no horse in the Minecraft Movie race (haven't seen it or played the game), but may I say with all sincerity: LONG LIVE GOOFY JOY.

I'm refreshing my email (like a doofus) in a way I haven't done in almost 3 years. I'm so silly 😂

Getting blurbs for your book is the closest anything has felt to querying since I got my agent. Cold emails: Check! Asking a cool person to read your book: Check! Hoping for the best: Big check! Super awesome when you get good news: VERY CHECK! #WritingCommunity #amediting #amblurbing

Man, Eagle Drums is a fascinating book. What a cool read. Some truly beautiful moments, especially as a parent.

I was not prepared for how nervous I would be to send blurb requests. I'm literally emailing great authors, out of the blue, asking if they want to read my book. No pressure 😅

Hey #WritingCommunity and #BookSky and any other neat #amwriting #amediting friends! I'm Christopher, a MG Fantasy author debuting with Penguin next year! I'm trying to rebuild from the Site That Was/find cool new people to follow. If you are too, comment and repost to this so we can meet! Thanks!
