Thank you all! The @kickstarter.com for A SHADOW FULL OF STARS has now surpassed the first stretch goal! That means every backer gets a bonus short story. Next level unlocks a reading from the novel. And the one after that gets everyone a free ebook copy of one of my novels. kck.st/4rTZyne

Read and share all over..he nails it

Well, that escalated quickly! We are now funded on @kickstarter.com. Keep an eye out for stretch rewards, including a free story, novel, and a dramatic reading of an excerpt from the novel. Thank you everyone! Spread the word. kck.st/4rTZyne

We are live! The @kickstarter.com for my contemporary fantasy novel, A SHADOW FULL OF STARS, is officially launched. Have you ever wished you could start a whole new life? Then welcome to Eden, where nothing gets in the way of your happiness...not even yourself. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...

Launching tomorrow!!!!

Well, it's Friday the 13th, but I wrote 1,600 words today, so my theory is correct. I have bad luck on every day that isn't Friday the 13th. #amwriting #writingcommunity

We launch the @kickstarter.com for A SHADOW FULL OF STARS one week from today (February 17th)! I can't wait to get this book out to the world. 🥳 www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...

Nobody: What’s your favorite political ad? Me: I don’t have… Me: Me:This is my favorite political ad!

Friendly reminder that I have a Kickstarter coming up for a brand new novel, my first in waaaaay too long. (If I don't post about it, the Promo Fairies poke me with tiny pitchforks--they're actually salad forks, but they're sensitive about these kinds of things). www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...

Don’t just take my word for it.

Keep going. Keep pissing off the Chads.

The reissue of GOTHIC is currently only $15 on Amazon when using a coupon option (expires 1/26). a.co/d/jiK9K7t

This week has flown by so quickly, I think we forgot to watch the last episode of FALLOUT. 😱 #Fallout #TV

It's official, my friends! I'm launching a Kickstarter for my novel, A SHADOW FULL OF STARS, on February 17th. Right now, you can get a sneak peek and sign up for notification when the campaign goes live. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...

A reminder for those who need it (like me!): "You can’t be both creative and critical at the same time. They’re opposing forces. Catch a writer between them, and they tear him apart." —Dwight Swain, Techniques of the Selling Writer #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Did you get a shiny new ebook reader from Santa? Looking to load it up with thrilling reads? All of my novels are currently on sale for only $2.99! And two of them are FREE. You can find more info on my website here: www.robcornellbooks.com/books-2/

Some reading, some writing, and a peppermint mocha at The Buzz Cafe. Not too shabby.

THIS. *They stole your fellow writers' FUCKING HEARTS' BLOOD to power their fancy-ass text-based writer-imitation machine.* You wanna get all NUANCED about that? Your easygoing take on that issue will sooner or later (most likely sooner) be used to steal *your* stuff. Let's see how *you* like it. 🫤

Snack is snoozing with @stephenking.bsky.social like any good cat should.

Snack has discovered my office and is making herself at home. Who needs to get any writing done? #catsofbluesky #cats #amwriting

Snack hung out with me last night while I was reading THEY THIRST by Robert McCammon in bed. Vampires don’t scare her. 🧛‍♀️

I am very much enjoying Welcome to Derry. I sometimes wonder what is wrong with me. www.imdb.com/title/tt1924...

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

As a writer, I'm supposed to occasionally toot my horn. So consider this a toot. I have two series starters available free at your friendly neighborhood ebook retailer. Darker Things: books2read.com/Lockman1 Branded: books2read.com/Unturned1

Nice!

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Oh, I am telling them. They know. And one of them has just reached voting age.

Sometimes you just need to escape for a little while. Short stories are great for that. Visitors welcome. Subscriptions are good too. clarkesworldmagazine.com

Yes.

One more note before I TRULY try to get my chemo-cranky ass off the internet: If my vibe repels you, unfollow, but don't pretend it's skin off my back. I am not trying to "build a platform". I came here to find/follow a few people. I can't help but post. My posts resulted in followers. That's it.

31 hours left! The "Networking for System Administrators" #Kickstarter is now $153 from all backers getting FOUR #sysadmin books! mwl.io/ks Sponsoring new work aside, it's a heck of a deal.

There is a chance I might actually have some book news coming soon.

I think it’s Snack time. #SnackTheCat #cats

If only...

even the buns, dude...

There's a lot of concern about signing up for protests and putting your name and contact information on a list that the FBI can then subpoena. Which is why you should only sign up as your MAGA neighbors, members of the current administration, or dead pundits.

One of the best books on writing I’ve read in a while.

I hope we are amassing a stockpile of vaccines for when an outbreak of measles, Mumps or rubella reminds us that these can be dangerous. I think people may suddenly want to vaccinate. Want scary stuff? Look up what happens to an adult male when he gets Mumps and it descends into his testicles.
