β€œThere are demons within us all that we must face. They only ever surface when we are at our lowest because they are not strong enough to challenge us at our highest.” The ODAL @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social goes on sale in early March. I’m in love with the cover by Nemo Art 🧑 Here. We. Go.

I've found some amazing friends in the book community in the last 4 years, and @zackargyle.com is one of them. What a lovely gift for little Ella πŸ’œ

With her sword hand in full grip, little baby Ella Cahill arrived into the world to start her journey on the 10th of January. Our world could not be fuller, and we could not be more in love. No cuter way for our lives to change ❀️ Both baby and mam are doing great!

I revealed this Tarot Card as part of my yearly wrap up, but I never did an actual reveal on socials! Behold The Fool – Dann Pimm 🏹 The man, the myth, the legend. Illustration by the amazing @dudkaart.bsky.social 🀟

With Of Empires and Dust finished, that makes 1.5 million words – 4 novels, 3 novellas, 2 short stories – written across 3.5 years. I've only been writing for 3.5 years and that blows my mind because it's my whole life now. 4 years ago I was working in a lab πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

And Book Four is done. I full on cried.

The craft of writing is a fickle thing. Some days I think 'damn, this is the best work I've ever produced '. Other days I think 'what if everyone hates this book and it derails my career'. It's an emotional rollercoaster πŸ˜…

Sorry WHAT? That's really fucking cool.

Just wanted to wish you all a happy December from the Christmas Wolfpine. Wherever you are in the world, I hope it's a happy time πŸ’œ With a bit of luck and a lot of work, I'll have Of Empires and Dust finished very soon... Then I might sleep. You're all the best. Myia nithΓ­r til diar.

It's so nice to see these ARCs going out for a book released back in 2021. The people of BlueSky never saw 'ARCgate' on twitter, but it's lovely to have these ARCs going to passionate the readers 🧑

51,000 words written in the last 19 days. Maybe another 40,000 to write in the next 9-10. The grind continues. But the end is in sight.

Am I the only one who had absolutely no problem with the old verification blue tick on twitter long before Elon? I never needed to know that Joe from Ohio was absolutely Joe from Ohio. But knowing which account was the real Mark Hamill was pretty useful. It also gave me something to shoot for πŸ˜…

Thena took a selfie with Amy. Here is your wolfpine pic for the day.

I've been quiet as hell because I'm working day and night to get this book finished. Sorry for my lack of replies! We've just crossed the 400,000 word mark. Somewhere between 30,000-50,000 more to go. 10 days? I'm looking forward to sleeping.

Also, on more dog news, we now take naps together πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

There comes a moment when writing these stories that you just know in your bones that a character has to die. A moment where it's just right, and poetic, and perfect... And you still hate it. Off to get the whiskey.

What in the ever-loving fuck is a 'woke sandwich filling'?

When I start the day feeling shit, I like to sing 'You're Still the One' by Shania Twain in the shower. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

What, you want me to sell you the right to have AI scrape my work? What's the offer? $2,500 a book? Okay, here's my counteroffer: Go fuck yourself lithub.com/harpercollin...

Man, Black Library really need to sort out their print availability. Just whack some of those books on Print on Demand and let your fans have some books instead of having paperbacks on eBay for $300 πŸ™ˆ

I think the reason there are so many 'echo chamber' comments about BlueSky is because people have genuinely come to see twitter as a solely political platform. They can't imagine a platform that exists without politics. They think this place is a shrine to Kamala. I post dog pics and book stuffπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

She is beauty, she is grace. She has teefs, dis her face.
