This is the second sci-fi book I've written in the past year where I have to research a bunch of stuff about bureaucracies and business structures, LOL. Apparently, the future is a corporate hellscape. #scifi #writing #ghostwriting #sciencefiction

Helping a client organize a non-fiction book about personal finance. Far from done and he just asked about doing three more starting Monday. Must finish chapter 2 of this sci-fi novel first, tho. 3 months of almost no work and then it pours lol. #writing #ghostwriter #sciencefiction #nonfiction

I may have just talked myself out of a five-book job. The client was looking for a senior ghostwriter to finish a nonfiction thought leadership biz book, the 1st in a series. Book one was 80% done and just needed review and polish. #thoughtleadership #non-fiction #ghostwriting 1/

I've got a ghostwriting client who is strapped for cash. He's got a great sci-fi concept, & outlines his chapters explicitly for me to take over and write. One chapter at a time, as he can afford it. Plus I built in a discount. Because I want him to be able to share his story. #writingcommunity

So if your spouse brings their own ladder into a new marriage does that make it your step ladder?

Childhood fears: Getting sucked down the drain. Being eaten by the vacuum. Stepping on a crack. I think these are probably regional and generational. What were your irrational childhood fears?

"See you later alligator." "What's the plan Stan?" I imagine these kinds of phrases are regional and generational. Which did you use growing up? Which do you use now?

Bluesky could stand to emulate Threads' "follow back" flow. It's way too hard to look through all the new followers here and vet them then follow them. Super messy and inconsistent. Sorry if I haven't followed you back!

Wondering if I should publish all the terrible short stories I wrote when I was a kid. And how. As a collection? As blog posts? As downloadable? 🤔

When you want to refer a colleague to "the previous emails" but instead write "the pervious emails" and you're not sure if you've just committed an HR violation...

Episode 8 of #thepitt broke me. It's been outstanding throughout but man it delivered on the emotional gut punch this time around.

Article states "Hugh Jackman"... I read it as "Jack Klugman"... That would be a very different #Wolverine.

I've been approached again by someone wanting to buy a print of one of my paintings. I don't advertise it anymore but I guess a restaurant somewhere has it on the wall. So every now and then I get a random inquiry. I guess I should put it up on my Etsy shop since people keep asking? #indieartist

For a long time I thought "Joe Pesci" was pronounced "Joe Pesky." Which seemed oddly appropriate.

Sign said "Uncured bacon." I saw "Unicorn bacon." That actually sounds magical.

TIL that the publisher I wrote this book for a few years ago -- Planet Eater -- created a second cover. For different markets maybe? Anyhoo, I'm not sure which one I prefer but I think I'm leaning toward the first one with the larger serpent. You? #sci-fi #sciencefiction #writersky #writing

When you're falling asleep wondering why your eyes are dry and then you realize that the room's super dark and your eyes are actually open and you didn't even know it and you're not blinking and you might be dead and then you just close them and you're like "aaaaahhhhh.... That's the stuff."

If I say I write speculative fiction, what genres does that encompass for you? How would you describe an author who does thriller, horror, sci-fi, fantasy? #writersky

Just delivered chapter 1 for a new ghostwriting client. His 1,000 word outline became 4,000 words of prose. Pretty pretty pretty happy with the result NGL. #writersky

Hey, I just wanna share that I worked with a client a few years ago on this book and it's all about the history of the web, the rise of the data economy and its penchant for division, and how it hurts privacy, truth, and Democracy. Highly recommend. Please share. www.amazon.com/Free-Bad-Pri...

New post: Sometimes, a "no" is the best deliverable. I was approached by a client with a non-fiction book. He had a very short deadline -- ten days -- to get the manuscript to his publisher. And he was up against the wall. #writing #writersky #ghostwriting chipstreet.com/2025/01/23/w...

For #writers who write under more than one name: Do you keep the connection between #author names private or do you let readers know they're all you (King/Bachman)? Why? #writersky #amwriting #pennames

Characters in cartoons always run directly in front of the train instead of just stepping out of the way and I always thought that was so unrealistic until I got a cat and tried to cross the living room with my hands full.

Why Your Screenplay Does Not Define The Finished Movie Your script will be changed, enhanced, and improved by everyone from the director to the cast to the lighting team in ways you can’t even imagine. Here's an example of how that happens. #screenwriting williamstreetcreative.com/2013/07/10/f...

We say "break a leg" to actors to wish them luck. What should we say to writers? I'm voting for "Kill your darlings." You? #booksky
