I leave stormtroopers around my office to motivate me to write.

Anybody writing on this Friday night?

Kindergartners are out of school, how are we parents keeping them entertained while still working from home?

Hey, I got nominated for a FIYAH Magazine Ember Award! And like half my pals are nominated too! We should all visit the page and vote now, okay? ignyteawards.fiyahlitmag.com/vote/

Five year old photography: 1. My shoe 2. Dad’s shoes 3. Who colored the street? 4. Raspberries!

Getting back into comics/graphic novels.

Is Elden Ring going to make me find some online friends? It's tempting...

I’m not following enough people on here 🤔. Any recommendations for artists, writers, other creators, and generally fun people whose posts I can cram in my eyes whilst I flee from productivity? LET ME FOLLOW YOU

Testing out a light box (I think that’s what they’re called) in preparation for my stormtrooper figurines i ordered. Can’t wait to film some sketches.

Sometimes I like doing video calls like I'm a toddler who was handed a phone

You’re allowed one cat picture. One. Otherwise she gets a big head.

I have two books coming out in October. The next JAX FREEMAN, which is a cryptid fiasco, and THE LAST ORDER, which is Star Wars squad based shenanigans. Don’t you want to preorder them 🥹?

Finished Tristan Strong Punches A Hole In The Sky bt @kwamembalia.bsky.social. Loved this book. Fast-paced action, an MC that I was rooting for the whole way, highly recommend. Makes me really excited to see his Star Wars: The Last Order.

Today’s morning writing included the weekly newsletter. Remember, if you’re a Black author with a book coming out, hit me up! Somebody is looking for your book. open.substack.com/pub/kwamemba...

Anybody writing today?

Lamp.

Me: *motions for you to roll down window* Me: *shazams the song you were playing* Me: *drives away*

Let’s play a game: what does your trunk look like?

Now that I think about it, I made it sound like I don’t want art from Twi’leks or Bothans, which is the furthest thing from the truth.

With endorsement from the sun

So excited for STAR WARS: THE LAST ORDER to come out into the world later this year -- it has been an absolute pleasure working with @kwamembalia.bsky.social and I'm in love with the cover art by Kim Thompson. collider.com/star-wars-th...

Had an absolute blast talking with @erinentrada.bsky.social and @kwamembalia.bsky.social about their fun, funny rom-com ON AGAIN, AWKWARD AGAIN on this week's episode of Hey YA: bookriot.com/listen/new-y...

New BBPD featuring @4nikkolas.bsky.social, @ebonyladelle.bsky.social, and more! kwamembalia.substack.com/p/copy-black...

The local coffee shop had my order put in and the total ready to be paid before I even stepped up to the register. Am I that basic? Am I that easily perceived? Do I need to switch things up?

I wrote a Star Wars

Just in case you were on the fence about libraries, I just learned that I can access thousands of Udemy courses for free with my library card.
