Every thrill -- Every terror your favorite characters faced & overcame in your favorite books: The author faced it first -- experienced it so vividly they could write about it for you ...a thought that makes me respect authors even more deeply #writingCommunity

Write the book in your heart to write, the book you wanted to read and couldn't find--no matter how weird or genre-mashing or market-saturated. With eight billion plus of us walking around on this rock, surely many will quite enjoy it together with you (though reaching them is a whole 'nuther. 😅)

"Write every day" & "Write at least [insert random number] every day" are not accurate measuring sticks for your worth as an author. There are plenty of valid reasons you may not write every day, or see word counts vary wildly between sessions. A better rule is: "Write what you can, when you can."

A while ago I drew The Archangel Michael, I don't dabble into religious art that often but it was fun to do something different for a change.

THE COMMUNE is dedicated to @faithevich.bsky.social Faith has been there since before the beginning—she was the drummer in the fav band I’ve played in. She devoured the very 1st iteration of the series, before I had any idea how to write, & was so supportive. She discussed Purgatory w/me endlessly.

The most controversial of my #books were the SECRETS OF SUPERVILLAINY and SCIENCE OF SUPERVILLAINY, which were about a fascist takeover of the United States by a cartoonishly incompetent psychopathic President and his deranged puppetmaster. I wonder why. #indiebookrecs #booksky #humor #indiebooks

After taking two bullets in defense of his squad mates, Kurs decided that he should probably propose to Riska before the next one did him in! The rest, as they say, is history.
