This is one of the best standalone novels I've written, and I want to encourage you to preorder it. Preorders contribute to first week sales totals, create excitement in the industry, and encourage bookstores to stock the book. Links here: www.garethlpowell.com/futures-edge/

No writing for the past week until today since I am beginning to feel better. Caught some gunk mixed with My Feel Bads Hurt that wracked my body with a dose of a sinus infection. Glad I am better in time for Christmas. Happy Hogswatch everyone!* *Merry Christmas!

(Yawn) Waking up with my lovely wife, drinking coffee, and getting ready to dive into my WIP. Hopefully, the gang of Tribbles in the corner won't be acrobats, leaping over my head or simply bouncing off my face.😜

Writing is a lot like weight training. You won't be able to lift a lot at first. You start small. Short session, light weights. Day by day though you get just a little stronger. Eventually your sessions get longer, the bars get heavier, and everyone says "I could never do that." Just like you did.

My #5amWritersClub started at 8am (better late than not, right?) this morning. But, I got some paragraphs edited and a few words written.

Happy Birthday to King of the Fever Dream, Philip K Dick. People think we are living in Orwell novel. No, we are living in Philip's world. which is much more bizarre. I'm not a big Sci-Fi fan, but Philip was much MORE. “It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.”

Still working on my latest WIP. I'm giving this on a year to complete. Take my time, and let my characters do their thing. I used to be able to knock a novel out in three months. I just feel that I rushed it too much.

Write that thing. Pluck it outta your soul with rusty pliers. Hit the keyboard like it owes you money. Write whenever, wherever you can. Tell your story. Make the words dance. Whatever you want—a novel, a short story, an agent, a movie—it all starts with the writing.

Time to make people angry again! - It’s okay if you don’t write every day - First drafts don’t have to be crap - You don’t have to outline - You don’t have to use beta readers - Sometimes telling instead of showing is fine Fuck all the writing “rules” they tell you about. There are no rules.

Instead of another anime/comic con, we need a Scholastic Book Fair con with dozens of vendors selling fun reading accessories. I use to set money aside as a kid to make sure I got the best bookmarks, erasers and fun trinkets 😂

You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.
