Mild mannered reporter I met at Albuquerque Comic Con 2026. #albuquerque #comiccon #cosplay

I find that the smoothest way to start a fresh writing session is to back up at least three paragraphs and read revise my way in. It's like taking a running start. #writing #authors

Hemingway was once bet that he couldn’t write the world’s happiest short story in just 5 words. He replied,

I gotta admit I'm not sure which Seuss characters these are, but these two were hilarious at #albuquerque #comiccon 2026. They belly bumped as soon as the photo was taken. #cosplay

I did an interview with @bookshelfie.bsky.social "To me, Crew of Exiles is about the hardship of existing in a body with its quirks, history, and lack of warranty. But it's also about the benefit and the burden of co-existing with other people." book-shelfie.com/interview-wi...

Authors Build, On Little Inspiration, Story Houses. Incredible Creative Expression

I'm still digesting ABQ Comic Con, but it was a great experience. So many nice interesting people just excited to share in the geeky things they love.

Selling my books at ABQ comic con this weekend. Wish me luck.

Amazon is awful for authors. If you want to distribute non-exclusively, please read this helpful Ingram Spark reference help.ingramspark.com/hc/en-us/art...

The answer to the question of life, the universe, and how old I turned today.

Today Amazon pulled a "your ISBN is invalid because it's being previously published elsewhere" The ISBN that I own and can go look at on Bowker. They won't or can't tell me what other publication they think the ISBN is being used for.

So far, random books I've been intrigued by on the stand on the sidewalk outside the bookstore have been 2 for 2 bangers. It's not much, but it's 100% for two shots in the dark.

Undeniable, by Jes Honard and Marie Parks, is a book about consequences. What were character strengths in book 1 are not always a boon in book 2 as the heroes face new challenges. Choices matter and sacrifices must be made!

Folks, the hype is once again real, cancel your plans, clear your calendar, read DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL

Merry Christmas eve! That's Frosty the Snowman on the back of Cider's sweater.

After a hiatus, new video! A conversation with @karenbmccoy.bsky.social the author of The Etiquette of Voles! youtu.be/PLFxE7ZUuLY

Had an hour of absolutely uninterrupted writing yesterday. I can see why people wake up at the ass crack of dawn for this sort of thing.

Short stories are underappreciated. Here's a little vid that includes: where to find submission venues, my process (such as it is), and a story I recently submitted to Glossy Planet youtu.be/2f5ilIRGyZg

No notes.

Yo, my book is not Amazon exclusive in any way shape or form. books2read.com/NealBooks

Crew of Exiles is no longer Amazon exclusive! Amazon is a dastardly company that hurts authors. Find all kinds of better places to buy the ebook here: books2read.com/NealBooks

Rule of Cool!

I submitted a flash fic to Glossy Planet today! New challenges begin the 1st of every month: www.glossyplanetmag.com/challenge/mo...

Book review: Children of Time. Sometimes books live up to the hype. youtu.be/w-tfBUNaEVg

This. Sometimes I'm pausing to read something small on the screen, but now I can't because there's a big fat ad taking up all the space.

I'm craving a new writing project, but is it because the current writing project needs cold, clinical, incremental improvements, or because new idea is actually any good?

Me checking the webs today (and most days)

'On Earth as it is on Television' is an antidote to the doom and gloom of modern life. It's going to be too saccharine for a lot of readers, but it's sincere, and I respect that. Note: the prologue's tone is out of sync with the rest of the book in that it's surprisingly dark. youtu.be/9s1vy0RPpTM

I want to know your personal #helldivers2 terminology? Here are some of mine: "The Devil's Resupply" = Dying "The Magic Eraser" = Orbital Laser "Christmas" = Gas + Incendiary Mine Builds "Fuck that guy in particular" = Orbital Railcannon

I made a vid of my thoughts on worldbuilding. The gist is: Worldbuilding != Realism. youtu.be/bKlAIz4Ldb8
