no one can be told what the matrix is

I have never wanted to pay my taxes less than on the day I learned we are giving $1.7 Billion to the racist, fascist trash who tried to overthrow the government on behalf of a monstrous buffoon.

Love paying 10% of my income for healthcare and they wont even cover x-rays. What a fucking scam.

Let me get this straight, the party of fiscal conservatives wants to spend a BILLION dollars on a gold encrusted ball room?

Got a tough pill to swallow from a LitRPG specialist beta-reader. He enjoyed the story but thinks its way too dark for the genre. So now I've got to decide whether to massively revise the book or publish a novel that is unlikely to sell.

Watching pickleball videos on youtube. I assume they'll just automatically send me my AARP card.

“The guilt will always call you back.” New faces, same nightmares. New hardback/ebook/paperback covers for THE WORLD-MAKER PARABLE and THE WORLD-BREAKER REQUIEM rolling out soon. A completed duology of standalones. Art and design by me.

A review of THE SKALD'S BLACK VERSE by @jordanloyalshort.bsky.social. I really enjoyed this very Warhammer 40K-esque story of a abandoned planet in a mystical space empire that is about to be destroyed. fanfiaddict.com/review-the-s... #books #indiebooks #scifi #darkfantasy @fanfiaddict.bsky.social

Woohoo! Just finished a brutal editing session to get the new LitRPG novel ready to send off to the beta readers. It'll be a while before I release Path of the Falling Star, but it feels good to hit this milestone. This was a lot of work! #amwriting #LitRPG

three card monte but its pedophilia war and dementia

Editing LitRPG books is a beast. Just discovered that I made a stat error on page 121 that snowballs through the next 424 pages. Send help.

I sympathize with all the #Romance writers who have to tolerate snobs bagging on their genre. 90% of #LitRPG mentions on Bluesky are people who have never read a LitRPG #novel talking shit.

Microsoft Word/One Drive glitched and ate eight days worth of editing on my novel. I've been working long hours on it and some-fucking-how it loaded an old version of my novel and has ten missing days of version history so all of the backups are poisoned and I've lost 50 or 60 hours of work. 😢😡 FML

I went to see Project Hail Mary. It was my first time in a theatre in about 5 years. Absolutely worth it. Great book. Great Movie. I'm glad I changed out of my PJs for it. Give me new stories, not regurgitated IPs and remakes, and I'll grab the popcorn. #movies #projecthailmary #scifi #sff

I only have to write 30,00o words in the next hour and a half to make it. Easy peezy.

Like the Internet Explorer on its way to Area 51 meme, except it gets more poignant every time you see it.

If I ever write a sci-fi novel where the character is a berserker they will 100% activate their rage by reading the comments section on their heads up display.

We need laws about data center water usage. Because...we need water.

LitRPG is entering the mainstream.

Books 2 and 3 haven't gotten as many reviews as hoped and it is definitely hurting their sales. I really, really appreciate the help! Thank you! City in the Dragon's Eye : www.amazon.com/review/creat... Page's Pyre: www.amazon.com/review/creat... Dragon Bone Elixir: www.amazon.com/review/creat...

i'm a jelly donut lol

Not caring about politics and not voting isn't transcendence, it's ignorance and apathy.

That friend at work who is always distracting you.

Last day to grab a kindle copy of the Skald's Black Verse for 99 cents. It's a pitch black epic fantasy with Ragnarok vibes, gritty characters, and brutal action! #booksky #amreading #fantasy #fantasybooks #mustread #bookreview #SFF #Specfic #bookshelf #freebook www.amazon.com/dp/B07K826497

Top o' the morning to you. #amwriting #booksky

Ah, the joys of dictation typos. AHEM, that was 'germaphobia.' But lol I guess my MC was spooning a dead rat guy.

On second thought...

Me after making my coffee every morning in January.

A fantastic review of SPACE ACADEMY DROPOUTS (with the old cover) by @jordanloyalshort.bsky.social. I'm glad he enjoyed the story of Vance Turbo, HERO OF SPAAACE. jordanloyalshort.com/space-academ... #bookreview #books #booksky #scifi #spaceopera

City in the Dragon's Eye is a finalist in 5 Indie Ink Awards categories! The Dragon Reich series is a laugh-out-loud adventure, brimming with fast-paced adventure, a trio of lovable misfits, and a sinister cabal of very punchable dragon supremacists! www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMC884SY

Just handed off the manuscript of Oath of the Falling Star to my Alpha Reader! It's an isekai LitRPG. Sort of Army of Darkness meets Event Horizon. Empowered by the Stars themselves to fight Eldritch horrors, Ezra chooses the Sign of the Magus. But his backstory is... #booksky #LitRPG #AmWriting

Star Trek made me feel what 1984 made me think.

Love finding the easter eggs I leave for myself in rough drafts.

Are you more into funny or dark? Dragon Reich: (funny) www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMC884SY The Dreadbound Ode: (dark) www.amazon.com/dp/B07K826497 #booksky #fantasy #sff #bookreviews #fantasybook #bookrecommendations #specfic #mustread
