Been a while since I've come here to hang out. What's everyone been up to?

Welcome to Two-Line Thursday (I just made that up). From my current WIP. “Hey gorgeous,” he whispered in a raspy voice. “Thought I was done for, didn’t you?” Kristy grunted as she pulled him to his feet. “Wasn’t worried one little bit. You’re like a weed. Annoying and impossible to kill.”

I write short stories and novels. These are just a few of my titles.

Giving a bit of a chat on short story writing today for my friends at @syww.org Anyone know what a short story is? ;-)

Hard at work on the next book. Book 1 of a new urban fantasy/paranormal series centered around married monster hunters. Working to finish this round of revisions by the summer so I can send it out to potential markets. I'm excited about this one!

4-star reviews are good. I'll take that!

I know the guy who wrote this! Just sayin'...

I can't wait to read this one! I mean, who doesn't love space pirates!!!

I'm considering creating a newsletter. Nothing crazy likely weekly, or anything. Maybe monthly, or quarterly. What would you all like to see from me? I love to talk ABOUT writing as much as I like to talk about my writing. Let me know in the comments.

Getting a little lunch break writing done on Janik Byrnn 2. Getting closer to a workable 1st draft.

Authors, don't forget your setting. The setting can be one of the most intriguing characters in your story. Give it the love it deserves. -A note to myself after neglecting my setting...-

With every story I write, I learn a little more about myself and what I need to do to improve my craft. The best is yet to come, my friends.

I forgot what happened in the first half of this book I'm working on, so now, the second half is lost in the woods somewhere not wearing any pants...

I'd appreciate it if you all bought my books so I can quit my day job and stay home to write in my underwear all day long.

Day job break times are for increasing word counts.

If you're not sure you want to invest your hard earned dollars into my writing, I have some good news. My website has a couple free reads where you can sample my wares before deciding if you want to make a purchase. Check out the link below. sandystuckless.wixsite.com/sandyrstuckl...

Knee-jerk reaction? Meta stole my book, and the books of thousands of other authors to train their fucking shitty AI. It's not creativity, it's theft and it's illegal. I want what's owed to me for use of my intellectual property.

Meta is stealing our work and using it to train their AI. Check LibGen to see if your books are on it.

Over 5000 words added to Janik Brynn 2 so far in March. I hadn't planned on working on it until later this year, but this is where my writing brain is at right now. It wants to write new material. I'll get back to editing my Fountain of Youth book after this little spurt runs out.

It doesn't have to be good. It just has to be written. It doesn't have to be good. It just has to be written. It doesn't have to be good. It just has to be written. It doesn't have to be good. It just has to be written. Me, to myself, about my 1st draft...

Every time I delete an instant of 'was' from my manuscript, my powers grow!! Soon, I will be invincible!!

They'll tell you magic isn't real. It doesn't exist, they'll say. I disagree. I do magic every time my pen hits the paper. #writingcommunity

Another chapter polished! A little bit closer to putting this novel to bed.

Spending some time with my married monster hunters today. This book is getting closer to being ready for beta readers. #writingcommunity

I love the act of writing. I love the excitement when I come up with a new plot thread or character quirk. I love the satisfaction of finally getting that tricky setting detail right. Why would I want AI to steal that from me? Why would I want AI to take the pure happiness I get from my creativity?

Working on three different novels at the moment. Apparently, I'm not distracted enough...

Trying this again! I'm sure I have more Canadian friends here!

Seeing other authors succeed and living their best life only makes me want to work harder on my own books. Save a piece of that pie for me!!

This last part of act 2 really doesn't want to play nicely. Feels like I'm pulling on the leash of an obstinate dog. #writingcommunity

#WritersCoffeeClub 3/10: How do you handle the physical strain of writing? Writing is my day job as well (tech writer for traffic management company). I try to write in short bursts so as not to fatigue myself. Frequent trips away from my desk / writing space as well.

Begin plotting book 3 before finishing writing book 2. That's how this is supposed to work, right? RIGHT?!

This is a good week to focus on things I can control. Like, writing my books.

Canadian authors, if we're not following each other, drop me a line in the comments. I'd love to support you, even if it's just boosting your bookish posts!
