Prose Night at The Writing Life, 8 March 2025: A sneak peek at my Untitled Wrestling Project in progress Hello, everyone. Hello, everyone. I’ve used this space before (Prose Night) to preview some writing projects I’ve been working on. It’s been a hot minute or two since I posted a sneak preview,…

I ( #thedudeinpurple ) am going to be there from 1-2:30 pm but there are many other authors, forums, and kid’s events at the DSM Book fair 22 March. If you like# #books and #bookfairs and you’re anywhere near #desmoines that day, you should show up. #writing #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram

Hi there… I’ve been bragging about being part of the DSM book festival (1-2:30 pm Saturday 22 March), but there’s going to be tons of other #writers there. I know I’m going to be wandering around the #bookfair and checking it all out myself. I’d advise getting there yourself if you like lit.

New blog up tonight. I’ve got a lot of new #writing projects coming up - including the upcoming #theyankstriker2 . Check me out at the #linkinbio (and pic) as always. #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #theyankstriker #theyankstrikerseries

The Writing Life, 1 March 2025: The Yank Striker 2 revisions and a quick format change Good to welcome you all to my neck of the Internet. It was a bit warmer, but I am not exactly wishing for June temperatures even though I’m starting to think of my summer break increasingly. Let’s get into some…

I’ll be at the DSM Book Festival two weeks from today. Really excited to be part of this. I’ll be showing my books like #theyankstriker here between 1-2:30 PM, but I’ll be checking out all the other authors there too. Hope to see you there. #bookfair #writer #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity

Newsletter will be out at the usual time today (5 PM Central). I’ll talk about what I’ve been working on recently - things have been picking up. And there will be a slight change in format which I’ll get into that hopefully will keep my posts from being too repetitive over time.

Writing Journal 26 February 2025: Good progress Well, hello again. I'm well into refining the second draft of The Yank Striker 2. It is my intent to have completed version 2.0 (or perhaps 2.1 or 2.2 if I am being… https://liegois.media/2025/02/26/writing-journal-26-february-2025-good-progress/

. That leads to a lot of long conversations and dialogue. At least I know what to cut. #writing #writers #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #writingadvice

Guess what I’ve been doing tonight? People who try to do unsolicited pitches for products in my DM’s on BlueSky, you’ve been warned. #writinghassles

Poor #lionelmessi being forced to play in subzero conditions in Kansas City tonight. But it’s honestly hilarious. 😆 #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #nonwritingstuff #football⚽

Writing Journal 19 February 2025: Revising distracts me from writing new stuff Welcome to everyone. I got started on revising The Yank Striker 2 last week, and I probably spent more time revising work last week than I have for the entire year to date (only six or seven weeks, but still). Still,…

I will die on a hill to defend Godspeed You! Black Emperor…as illustrated by this piece about dying on a hill, a dystopian bit of ekphrastic poetry inspired by “The Dead Flag Blues.” Thanks to @riseupreview.bsky.social for publishing! shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/02/17/o... #poetry #poem #poet

I still remember appearing here two years ago while I was going over revisions for #theyankstriker , and now I’ll be back there while I’m reviewing the first revisions in the new book in #theyankstrikerseries , #theyankstriker2 . #writing #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Latest on #substack is up on the mothership. I talk about revising my sequel to #theyankstriker. I’m needing #betareaders for the project, so reach out if you can help. I also get into some other new projects and upcoming appearances. #writing #writer #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

The Writing Life, 15 February 2025: Getting going on The Yank Striker 2 revisions To both regular readers and any random online wanderers coming upon this page, welcome. It’s honestly wild that we are now in the middle of February. Time is moving fast and I’m all right with that for the moment.…

Hi, 👋🏻 everyone. Next Saturday, 22 February, I ( #thedudeinpurple ) will be at the @johnstonpubliclib for their annual #bookfair from 2-4 p.m. I had the opportunity to attend this two years ago and had a great time. #writing #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

What did you do today to make Carrie Fisher proud? I took my meds & did an exercise, and I'm trying to do some creative stuff too despite *gestures vaguely at everything*

Time to help out some other writers. Drop your links, your books, I want to hear from you and follow you if I’m not following. #writers #writing #writershelpingwriters #helpinghand

Writing Journal 12 February 2025: Very successful first week of February Hi once again. All things considered, I've had a great first week of February as far as productive writing went. It was just one of those weeks where there wasn't much to really brag about, but at least I kept a good pace.…
