Who cares if you’re self-published or not published, whether anyone reads them, whether you make any money Writing books is at worst a great hobby

Movie set where you grew up: I graduated from UL, and the "Jackson's Bayou Muddogs" are a parody of our old mascot, the Bulldogs And yes, I know people who talk like they do in this movie, and yes, it's hilarious

Helfnir's powers make him effectively a waterbender BUT he spends the first several chapters trudging through swamp, getting rained on, and being thrown into shit water, so safe to say he's had his fill for a while

Military tactics There's already sort of a scene where they're overlooking an enemy camp and he explains how they set up, how to get past them, what they did that's out of the ordinary, and from that deduces their likely tactics

RICE N SHIT Cook some rice veggies of your choice (I like onions & bell peppers), saute them boys in your wok add the rice with some hoison sauce 1 can of cream of whatever soup 1 can black beans CHEESE (whatever's in the fridge) Top with protein of your choice (or don't, it works on its own)

The Plains operate under an emperor, who's supported by a series of lower lords and clan heads who govern by the consent of the people (not formal elections but still a consensus system) They're on the cusp of building themselves a functional republic

Tilda didn’t answer, just leaned against the old stained wood. Jethel grunted as if in agreement and carried poor Albiert’s head outside to reunite it with the rest of him. Tilda just swayed there for a minute, taking it in. Awfully macabre way to leave it #amwriting #writersky

Want a great, fun read for spooky season? The Tear Down Heaven series has witches, demons, and a delightful slow burn romance that also involves smashing a tyrannical dictator! Only $4.99 to buy or free if you're in KU! amzn.to/473SmO4

Recent Reads Age of Arrogance by @timwolffauthor.bsky.social This trilogy started off good and ended great. The characters were the highlight, from Zeen's goofy optimism, Serena's obsessive dedication, David's depressive spirit that never breaks. Great balance of ups and downs too 5⭐

The Soul of War fits most cleanly into the 4-act structure, and the MC begins act 1 already neck-deep in a foreign land He ends act 1 and begins act 2 in the same foreign land, but half-dead after a fight, being cared for by the enemy #writersky #amquerying #writingcommunity

I picked this one up for free, and then paid for the sequels, cause they were good as hell! And the author is cool as hell so support them 😎

One of the best feelings is picking up a book that you expect to be the conclusion to a series, realizing it's not, and also realizing "yeah I'd 100% read another of these"

Recent Reads: Dungeon Crawler Carl - fun, funny, and I really got behind our main duo. Bought the sequel, will see if I get through all 7 books 4⭐ Ghost Flower - WOW I didn't know what I expected out of Ghost Flower but it blew me away. The prose is beautiful, the romance is sweet, the themes/

If I had a nickel for every book I've read this week that referenced "Live, Laugh, Love" I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

It's almost time, y'all!! amzn.to/48F4iGU

Turns out page 25 is right where the first fight scene starts, and the first time we get to see magic used for violence instead of utility #writing #writersky #theSoulofWar #amquerying

"it must be nice to be a man and make boring music just because you can now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan you're my second favorite frontman" Such an insane line, the new Florence material is giving me life

Nameless Vampire WIP has a romance between our lead, Tilda the barmaid, and her lovely friend Millie the bookbinder. Or it will once I write it, it's just in the outline rn The vampire isn't involved in the romance because he's 200 and that's weird 🙃

Was a big AC fan back in the day, and I always thought Black Flag was where they totally lost the plot on the modern-day stuff 1-3 had a story and character throughlines. Then 3 killed Desmond for some goddamn reason, and they never knew what to do after that Black Flag is better off without it

Recent reads: Alchemy and a Cup of Tea by Rebecca Thorne - an excellent conclusion to the cozy Tomes & Tea quartet, has all the drama and wholesomeness the series excels at, 5⭐ Tears of the Maelstrom by Timothy Wolff - this trilogy started good but here it got great, already started book 3, 5⭐

100% worth it, even if it wasn't free

Slightly diminish a book Mistadopted

"Not now I'm #writing"

I'm planning on actually sharing my work again, so before I post my website up here I'll say this: None of my work was done using AI. Not for writing, editing, or proofreading. I'm 100% natty #writers #writersky

Recent reads: Platinum Tinted Darkness - Enjoyed it! Def stayed for the characters, charming little dudes right there, 4💫 Starter Villain - laughed more than once, fun plot and characters, 5💫

Every Thursday

From the unpublished short story "Daughter", inspired by Cassandra by Florence + the Machine Would you turn into a monster for revenge? This girl would Transcription in alt text

Had this one preordered, can't wait to read! Only downside is I just started Starter Villain soooooo 😬

Christoph Waltz instantly makes whatever he's in twice as good

This is something I actually have outlined (even if I'm not actually following the prompt) In the culture of the Silvered Plains, the dominant religion is not theistic/god-worshipping, rather they espouse a zodiac of 8 Virtues, each represented by a constellation and associated animal symbol

Need editing for your story? DM me today! (I also provide samples to see if we're a good fit, just ask. No question is a dumb question.) #Writingcommunity

And here it is! The cover to my upcoming WIP, The Chosen One Con, about a contest of celebrity mages to find a prophesied chosen one... or is it all just an excuse for some TV to distract the masses from rebellion? Many thanks to Jamedi for hosting! Please check out his blog!

We're trying to figure out how many ads I have to block before Google gets the picture that I *really* don't care about Javvy coffee It's been at least 12

Or be like me, and tweet at the author that you're eagerly waiting for book 2/3/5 🔥

If post-apoc eldritch sci-fantasy sounds at all appealing, give these a read. And the author's other stuff too, he's one of my favorite finds in the past few years

I haven't looked too closely at this woman's chin but I hope it's Brie Larsen just because that would be the funniest possible casting for Supergirl

The unification of the various tribes of the Silvered Planes into a single (precarious) empire Between fighting each other and their effective use of their Infusor mages, they're already the most militarily advanced, now they're a menace to the surrounding nations

This is the face of a child who got caught destroying the blinds Her defense it "I didn't do it" and ngl it's pretty airtight #catsky

Last week I finished The Cruel Gods trilogy by @trudieskies.readindiefantasy.com What an intense, heartbreaking ride, with an absolutely insane ending. I've rarely been so simultaneously frustrated with, and enamored by, characters like Kayl and Quen. Looking forward to reading more! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'll buy a french bread (usually to go with something I cook, but not always) and tear off a chunk to eat plain as a snack One time I paired this with a cheese stick and my wife told me I eat like a medieval peasant

No bingo, but got majority, that's good right? for The Soul of War, the epic fantasy I'm querying #writersky

An actual picture from my current WIP notes Yes, I am productive (sarcasm)

Halfling Wizard, Order of Scribes Halfling is mostly for backstory/flavor, but rerolling 1s is always great. Turns out Scribes Wizards just turn your wizardyness up to 11 so been having a great time there

I post this in my party's discord every time someone mentions rolling a 1

Technically the 3rd POV character is an antagonist 👀 Realistically, among the 6-person team chasing our intrepid MC, only the leader is a "villain." The rest are just soldiers, chasing someone they think is a dangerous traitor (they're mostly right tbh)

I remember mostly because my ideas are simple as: DnD character backstory What if a sword could talk Scene of a vampire hunter but it's a bait & switch and the vampire is the protag

Misunderstanding/misheard conversation (this is the worst part of Shrek) Also "this guy is super evil so to make sure you know he's evil we made him a sex criminal"

Me and my wife except it's me yapping about fantasy books and random video games and her yapping about art community stuff and other random video games

It's Friday 13th. Buy a book with thirteen in it. mybook.to/TheThirteent...

Helfnir is 100% asking Rhea, he assumes she's had to do this before Tilda just made "friends" with a vampire. She'd hate herself, but would have no idea who else to ask
