Watching Remember Me after an emotionally weird morning. A strange cloud hung over me, but its better now? I have this habit of overworking something when I'm deeply into it and having to learn to pull back is hard. Thankfully Beverly Crusher can get me through anything. #startrek #booksky

It's been a weird week and weekend. Finishing my big Epic Fantasy series resulted in this strange exhaustion that kind of hung over everything, and to be fair, its not part of the usual process because I've not done this many times. I never account for just "stopping" for a bit. #booksky

“The Iran War was lost because Trump and Miller and Hegseth simply couldn’t believe that White people wouldn’t be triumphant. That notion was truly incredible to them.”

I'm at a weird midpoint of my Celtic UR wip where the couple is figuring why this attraction exists, and I keep coming back to this conclusion that the reason is that they *comfort* each other. There's an automatic sense of safety neither is ready for. I didn't think I was uneathing that. #booksky

Despite being terribly sick all week, I’ve been making good progress on my next-to-be-published chonker - the sequel to The Wish and the Demon. I’m hopingggg I can get it out this summer. 🥰 What’s everyone else working on of late? 🪶🙂‍↕️

A few days after finishing a huge series and its fine. I'm working every day now in my Celtic UF-romance, editing a bunch, and getting the audiobook ready for the release of The First Duty on May 21st. I have enough short and medium-length series projects, but I need years-spanning to work on again.

Against angels, demons, and a rooster possessed by Lucifer, one hard-drinking Irish saint will raise to do... well, something. It will be action-packed along the way, though. Cheers! https://amzn.to/3DGv6tl #urbanfantasy #booksky

Just had my @bookshop.org affiliate account and bookstore verified! Over the next year I'm going to re-distrubuting some of my indie titles and all titles into the future wide so they can be available in bookstores, libraries, but especially indie venues that keep reading alive! It'll just be cool.

By God, I did it. It's done. The Song of Talav, my Dragon War series, which I started in 2011, is complete. It has encompessed work done along the years when I wasn't published, when I was trad published, then indie published, up to now. What is tomorrow? But I'm honestly proud. #booksky

I am just eight (8) sales away from selling 50 KDP copies of A Light for the Dead to Follow! If anyone likes novellas with a bit of romance and magic, maybe check out my newest story and help me get to 50 sales! It's a small number, but I am but a small author, and it's a huge milestone for me :')

THIS! THEM! I've listened to this album three times now. Smoothness from the glittering heights of Tampa. Indelible and bold with the right sense of sexy to it. I have a manuscript in my head from the damn thing. Florida Rains is turning me to jazz. #musicsky #jazz #synthwave

I need to stop listening to Florida Rains. (No I shouldn't.) They're getting me into jazz. And literally, literally, every album is a manuscript. All over an album about A BAR IN TAMPA. TAMPA. floridarains.bandcamp.com/album/driftl... I rarely say this, but music is rarely this sexy. #musicsky

Literally a page or two away from finishing this Dragon War series I've literally spent my entire literary career working on in some way. It's about 15k over where it should be, but that's fine--there will be plenty to cut in the rewrite. But I'm so close. So close. Sunday. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.

Actually, the difference between a (western) Dragon and Wyvern is quite simple: Dragons are cats and dogs with wings. Add scales. Wyverns are bats turned into dragons. Add tail. Easy-peasy. Feel free to use. #booksky #dragons #wyverns

Apparently people on Threads and Instagram are complaining that the new Book Con isn't handing out the gigantic amount of ARCs they used to. Some brought tote bags, expecting to have them filled with free stuff at the end. Can't wait for this influencer era to be done.

High emotions tonight. My main hero sent God (or at least a dark version of God) slinking back to his hole. One chapter left in this Epic Fantasy and it will be done. The week is going to be a hard march to the end. #booksky #epicfantasy #dragons #onechapterleft

Achingly close to the end of writing this Dragon War series. Years and years and years coming to a close and it’s just coming down to 1k words at a time. It’s weird, for the first time, to think about what life is like after this. But now sleep. #booksky #indieauthor #dragons

Life will strike in very unexpected ways, and sometimes the only thing you can do is hold fast and hold true for those that need an anchor in the tides of suffering and sorrow. Today is one of those days where I'm reminded how hard life is for others, and find myself more grateful for my blessings.

I'm Jim Brin, a Slovenian illustrator, and recently I've been known to draw plenty of experimental queer sword & sorcery-esque stuff. I'd love to get some cover/illustration work this year, so if my art sounds interesting, consider looking at my portfolio! #PortfolioDay 🌈 neonufo.art

I do a lot of cultural research into "recent" American history to underpin my work with something more than just swords and spells (though those are wonderful and come first), and I keep going back to this interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mul... "Nobody was looking for anything."

Supporting small businesses has a H U G E impact. Because instead of giving major corporations ~more power~ we recirculate that $ in our neighborhood. We reduce our carbon footprint. Plus, small businesses are linked to lower poverty levels, & are way more likely to sponsor local orgs/charities.

I had this show awhile back called Pondering The Orb, and while I've no great inclination to restart/reboot it, I do miss it. It allowed me to do things personally that led to doing some surprising things professionally, and I just miss it. That's all. youtu.be/cCywv3_VrO0 #booksky #youtube
