Writing a book isn't about competition, it isn't about winning or getting rich, it's about sitting down with your fucked-up thoughts and weird ideas and putting them on paper to traumatize people who read them. AI will never get that part right.

Having a bit of fun revitalizing my interest in my work & feeling more positive about it than I have in a while (knock on wood) I thought I'd try sharing a quote a day with the hashtag #SandsofHazzan (just so I can find the posts myself) This one's from The Crown of Asmodeus! #Booksky #Writesky

They keep digging the hole deeper. If you want to avoid being buried, steer clear of this publisher

PSA for poets!

Readers: keep buying, sharing, and talking about books, esp by marginalized authors. Put in purchase requests at your library. Buy from your local bookstore. Preorders are ideal. Don't wait for the series to finish before buying. Read widely and more often. Read trad pub, small press, and self-pub.
