The urge to start a new story even though I have three on the back burner.. #creativewriting #authorproblems #adhdwriting #procrastination

You guys ever just wanna move to some misty mountain village in the middle of nowhere and start over? No Internet, no work, just community and survival? I think about that a lot.

@nflbluesky.bsky.social making the @kendricklamar.bsky.social Halftime Show unavailable in the US and turning off comments is the most bitchmade behaviour I've ever seen from company this year. #halftimeshow #superbowl

Rooks Writing Advice Part 2: Stop killing yourself trying to be original. Everything has already been done. What IS original is your voice in the story. Focus on that instead of being different for the sake of it. #writing #novel #LitRPG #art #fantasy #scifi

Rooks Writing Advice Part 1: Understand that it IS possible to make a career from this art. But it only happens consistently if you have the love and support of those around you. Don't take those moments for granted and know that your words reach a lot closer to home than you think. #writing #art

Gonna start a bluesky version of "Rooks Writing Advice" on here today. Don't worry it's not going to be about grammar, just general mindset stuff. Some of y'all seem like you need it. #writing #LitRPG #Novel #CreativeWriting #Authors

I hate writing but I love *writing*ya feel me?

My first poem in a long while. I feel I'll have many in the next four years. #poetry #poem #poetrycommunity #writing #writingcommunity

I did a thing! Interview with Foby and Declan from Shadow Light Press! Come watch me talk about my book, LitRPG originality, and how I envision the scenes I write. www.youtube.com/live/HmzeJsg...

Finishing a book is easy... Starting to write the sequel is fucking hard.

If you think about it, writers are just the nerdier version of rappers trying to get on their own version of the XXL Freshman list... At least that's how I like to think about it.

How do I trick my brain into treating writing like a job.

I wonder how hard it is for comedy ASL translators to not laugh during a set.

I have since found out I'm Hypersensitive to criticism... On an unrelated note, I have decided to stop reading RR comments.

How to end a book for dummies.

To any of my readers who are fed up with my story and wish to cease their reading:

Happy holidays ya filthy animals.

This is the same thing that happened with Twitter. Make an account, post for two weeks and forget

New chapter is out everyone! www.royalroad.com/fiction/9539... #HoundsOfOrion #RoyalRoad #LitRPG

The most comfortable life in any fantasy setting is that of a hobbit from Middle-Earth. As long as you can avoid creepy ass rings and busybody wizards it seems like a dope ass life. What are y'all's picks?

Been sick as a dog all week. Can't wait to feel better and find another excuse for my writing style other than a fever and cough medicine

Stop using dead service members to push your political narrative. The last thing that went through their minds were waves of fear, adrenaline and memories of loved ones, not your fucking legislation.

Hounds of Orion is moving to a M-W-F posting schedule on Royal Road. I need to rebuild a backlog and actually start making a Patreon. I fucked myself on this writeathon thing and now only have a chapter left xD.

I ain't taking shit from anyone whose WinRAR is expired.

Quote of the day: If you can't dazzle with your brilliance, baffle with your bullshit.

Alright hear me out: Cultivation novel where you have negative and positive energy. Negative energy comes from fighting while positive energy comes from things like giving unsolicited compliments and writing reddit articles. Call it something cringey like: Nice Guys Finish First or Good Vibrations

Harem-lit just seems like group texting with multiple personalities.

Message to my readers asking saying I should change some things in my story, or any dev editors in the future: #writing #litrpg #royalroad #progressionfantasy #books

Nine out of ten Amazon addictions can prob be traced back to the Scholastic Book Fair.

This place is quickly becoming the art community I hoped it would be. I hope it just continues to grow and grow.

"You shouldn't voice your political views, half your reader base is gonna be turned off." Well the other half of my reader base are losing their rights and no one is speaking up for them. If you're tired of hearing it I don't want you reading my shit anyways.

I hate the early morning scavenger hunt of what the hell I did with my vape... It happens far too often for my taste.

One of the best and worst things about tentatively plotting out a crime/murder mystery/police procedural novel is finding myself saying aloud on the bus things like ‘I wonder if rats can chew through bone’ and ‘oh burn the body on the BOAT, that’s a GREAT idea’

Well let's get introductions out of the way. Hey all, I'm D.M. Rook, or Rook if you're nasty. Don't worry none of these names mean anything, they just sounded cool at the time. A little about me: - Girl Dad - USMC Vet - Part Time Writer - Full Time Jackass - Check my bio for a dope ass mech book

Oh so it's non-shitty Twitter... sweet!
