Hey, I’m finishing up a dark fantasy series on Amazon/KU, and thinking about starting a LitRPG on Royal Road. I have an extensive TTRPG background and I play Elden Ring, would a LitRPG with a Soulsborne slant be popular? #LitRPG #Gamelit

I’m in the middle of day 3 running AMZ to my first book. (I understand it takes months to optimize ad campaigns to be profitable). It sure is nerve wracking. I’m paranoid about screwing something up out of the gate.

Man, it’ll be a time crunch to have my book ready for the pre-order deadline. I’m not too anxious though because I don’t perceive the future very well. (Pros and cons of undiagnosed ADHD I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️)

Just set up my first ad campaigns for my books on Amazon. Scary and exciting. Feels like I’m betting on myself. 🤞

Aww, man! I don’t even want to watch QE now. @bobbyberk.bsky.social was the best part of that show!

Another episode into season 2 of Vinland Saga. This show is unflinching about the consequences of violence on both a national scale and a personal scale. Brave choice following season 1’s revenge fueled plot. I’m impressed.

I was thinking that a book is really just a media recording format like a record or a tape or a DVD, but the device you use to play it is your brain.

I’ve been reading Moby Dick for months now (mostly during my kid’s piano lessons). I love it, but I can only handle small doses. I feel the same way about egg nog.

fantasy author 🧙‍♂️⚔️ I’m 11 episodes into season two of the Vinland Saga. It’s a good lesson in pacing. Characters might spend a whole episode acquiring a horse. I want to let my plots breathe more.
