So I wrote a book in about a hundred days because I was furious about the Epstein files and all the bullshittery going on. It's a D&D flavored anticapitalist dark satire with horror elements, a romance subplot, and it's funny as hell. It's the best thing I've ever written, but I need beta readers.

I'm just an author, standing in front of the Internet, asking a big account to pretty please gimme a repost cuz my awesome cozy sci-fi book is currently FREE! Seriously, it's good. Go read it! www.amazon.com/dp/B0GTK4G4G...

I wrote an entire book because I got into Star Trek but was mad they never talked about the wildlife on all these alien planets they went to. I made up probably...dozens of wild creatures for my book. #writingcommunity #writesky #cozy #scifi

My hardcovers came in, so now I've got both to sell! They both turned out so well, and I'm super proud of myself for everything with this book. From the writing, to the formatting, to arranging the covers. It was all me, and I'm a little in disbelief at it Get yours on Amazon!

I paid for some marketing for this book and so far it has resulted in 0 sales. Got listed on Reedsy discovery, got put into the SFWA new release newsletter and sprung for an interview. Granted it's been less than a week with both, but the needle ain't movin'. Will 100% do NetGalley again though.

An autistic scientist, an ADHD soldier out of time, and one judgemental ship cat. Join them on a world hopping adventure where they discover not only new alien creatures, but also themselves. The Unknown is waiting. #cozy #scifi #writing #published #neurodiverse #autism #ADHD #writingcommunity

My book's been out for a week, and all I've managed is 5 sales and a few hundred page reads. I've been posting constantly across several social media sites, got on two different newsletters, and more. And yet have little to show. And it's a great book!

Someone did a lovely post about my book over on Instagram 🤗

My paperbacks from Amazon came today! 19 of them were misprinted. Almost half. I'd heard about quality issues there, but man. Almost half? Really? Makes me wonder how my hardcovers are going to be. At least they gave me a refund.

Do you like The Murderbot Diarie or the Wayfarer series by Becky Chambers? Join Arcadia Lyra, an autistic xenobiologist, and Blaze Forsyth, an ADHD soldier out of time, on a world hopping adventure to study alien life on fantastic worlds, and find themselves in the process. The Unknown is waiting.

People think Trump doesn't like his fans, but I don't think that could be further from the truth. He loves people that haven't matured past middle school.

They really trying to drum up war in Nigeria as a Christian thing? Could right wing Christians not be complete suckers, just like once?

I think it's important to point out that the biggest reason for the world ending up where it's currently at, with fascism on the rise and everyone completely miserable, is because Facebook wanted to sell more ads. That's why so many died to covid. That's why people are in concentration camps.

The wild thing about Charlie Kirk's death is that millions upon millions are glad he's gone, all his "allies" are using his corpse as a useful prop, and even his wife views him as nothing more than a tool, while also telling his daughter Jesus took him to pay for her blueberries. What a sad life.

Who are we when lies are more valuable than truth? When ignorance prized over knowledge? When depravity lauded and empathy derided? When endless greed a virtue and endless struggle a failing? Who are we?

I feel like I need to talk about that weird Trump video that people think is AI. It's 100% AI generated, and I have zero doubt about that. Not just cut together with morphcut, but... Wholesale fake. 🧵 1/5

In short terms, Those who ask for violence will receive it

So we've actually found incredibly strong indicators of life there before, but NASA higher-ups crossed their arms and went "NUH UH!" in the face of science. Based on what I've learned over the years, I'll confidently say there *was* life on the surface of Mars, and there *is* life underground.

I figured it out. Woke doesn't mean anything, it's just a trigger word. You don't like a thing? It's "woke". This triggers others to, in turn, say they don't like the same thing, because to be the opposite of "woke" is good. Then it spreads. It's memetic warfare. And fucking stupid.
