Wife: "This is the first weekend where we had no plans in ages!" Proceeds to demolish the spare room and repaint the bathroom Why are women like this? I just wanted a beer and a nap.

I love writing, but what I don't love is talking to people about my writing. Them: "What's your book about" Me: "Kidnapping people and using their blood to fuel the old gods because the only thing they dear more than death, is us" Them: changes subject

I've listened to "Bloodline" by Slayer so much during editing that I'm surprised Spotify hasn't asked me if I'm alright yet. #Slayer #Metal

Chapter 9 and 10 editing of my horror novel today. Can't wait to have to do it all over again for the third and (hopefully) final time. I'm unbelievably excited (and terrified) for everyone to read it! #Writing #SelfPublishing #Publishing #Editing #Novels #Horror

Woke up this morning thinking "Why do I need a publisher? Why can't I BE the publisher?" Then I thought "I should open a bookstore." Then "I need coffee, but I should own a coffee shop IN my bookstore." I don't usually think I have ADHD, but I'm starting to question it. #ADHD #bookstore #Books

'Flammable' and 'inflammable' both describe something that ignites easily and burns quickly. The ‘in-’ in ‘inflammable’ means “to cause to be,” as in the words ‘indent’ and ‘indebted.’

I should start putting "New York Times Bestselling author" before my name on everything from blog posts to dinner reservations. Is it true? No, but nobody checks. For legal reasons, this is a joke. Wink

Started writing this story as a Novella before I decided to backburner it in favor of my first novel. It's super short, but I'm pretty proud of it so far. #Writing #Books #Publishing #Blog #Fiction

Is there any reason why I SHOULDN'T release my first book on Amazon rather than hunting for a publisher? Really thinking about just releasing it and moving onto the next project. #selfpublishing #publishing #publish #books #novel #fiction

I just remembered my wife doesn't have a Bluesky account so I can say whatever I want about her. My wife is in the shower and I could hear my cat slapping the door handle (he can open doors), followed by my wife bursting into laughter. I don't feel like I deserve the amount of joy she brings me.

I wish there was a buzzer or something that tells you when you're done writing a chapter and you shouldn't add anything more. Maybe a second bell that tells you the chapter sucked and you should start over. #Writing #Publishing #Novel #books #Fiction #Horror #Fantasy

How do you all write so many damn books? I'm still struggling to edit my second manuscript and everyone out here is pumping out masterpieces and making it look easy. I'm looking at you @sgj.bsky.social I can't wait to read The Buffalo Hunter, btw. #Books #Novels #Publishing

Should I be putting copyright protections on my short stories? Do people do that? I know creative Commons is a thing, but it doesn't seem like enough. #shortstories #novels #writing #publishing

Does anyone traditionally publish suspense/thriller/horror novels anymore or am I on my own with that one? I've started looking for an agent for my last book, but I think I might be screwed. #Horror #Publishing #Novel #Writing #Literature

Interviewer: "Where do you see yourself in five years?" My internal thoughts: "Sitting on the beach playing ukulele to the ocean while watching the sunrise with my wife." Me to the Interviewer: "Leading a synergetic team to surpass expectations for record profitability." #jobs #interview #ukulele

I think my biggest issue with writing consistently are the ghosts whose only unfinished business is to distract me. Caught a pic of one ruining my curtains as proof. #Ghosts #Writing #Publishing #Cats

"To the distant land surrounding the fields, thousands of trees held back the vast forest that blanketed the mountains behind them. A forest so deep that tales could be told for lifetimes of all the creatures, monsters, beasts, magic and curses that live out there, and they would all be true."

Why do novels take so long to write?? I've been slapping my keyboard for an hour and only popped out 200 words. Why do I do this to myself?

"She did not respond. There was no need for her to respond. They both knew spending the night together in embrace felt as if it were the only right answer in the universe with no boundaries, no concern for tomorrow's war. Together, there was only now, and there was no need for a later."

I remember when I was a kid, I had friends that would order a hamburger with nothing but a bun and meat. No fries, no lettuce, no cheese, nothing. I wonder where they are now? Pioneers in minimalism living, I assume.

I was trying to find an aesthetic for the story, the "spice" if you will, and it ended up being somewhere between #Warhammer40k and #Balenciaga. Not sure how or why, but it fits, so it's happening.

I think I hit a wall with the outline. I've changed things around, who knows the secrets, how they meets, etc., but the only thing that hasn't changed is the first chapter, so let's get writing! Sleep is for quitters! Coffee is life! #victoryscreech #Novels #Writing #Publishing

Started planning a romantasy novel last week, and suddenly I'm writing a novel about how even the most powerful kingdoms can fall from the greed of a few, destroying the lives of those who are just trying to live. Not sure where I got that idea from... #Sarcasm #Writing #Books #Novels #Romantasy

The downside to fully planning a book so far (in my opinion) is it feels more like work when compared to slamming the key board like a neanderthal and seeing what comes out. #Writing #Publishing #Books

Authors/Writers: Is it worth the effort to find an agent and do traditional publishing or is self-publishing now the way to go? ("Worth it" meaning worth the effort to find an agent/publisher and worth the cut they take over Self-publishing) #BookSky #BlueSky #Books #writing #Publishing #authors
