#JoeVember2025 - Day 26 - Can't we all just get along.. "Breath mint!" "Candy mint!" "Breath mint!" "CANDY MINT!" #gijoe

I think I'm running out of toys for #VintageToyTuesday. So, my last box in the garage had my 2 models from 1979 Buck Rogers that I built and painted as a kid. The Starfighter and the Marauder.

I love writing books That's it, that's the skeet

Every now and then, I go over to Goodreads to see if there are any new reviews or ratings for my 2016 debut, Kojiki. I am at a loss - a happy one - to see the most recent ones are REALLY positive. Wonder why new readers like it SO much more than when it came out. Cool @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social

My friend SM Reiher is FINALLY releasing their epic science fantasy (with strong horror elements) novel, which I've edited at many stages & watched grow from idea to full book, in December and you can PREORDER IT NOW On Itch: smreiher.itch.io/the-mycelium... Elsewhere: books2read.com/u/bPVw2J

Struggling through the revision process is completely normal. But you need to start with a PLAN. Start with the free resources on my website. After that, grab my Reverse Outline workshop (on sale for $27.) It’ll help you get a bird’s-eye view of your story. Website link in bio. #writingcommunity

@garethjohnbrown.bsky.social books see at an indie bookstore in Manchester, Vermont! Check the booksellers comments!

I was thrilled to be part of this and now, thanks to Dan, I'm a partial World Fantasy Award winner. Sort of.

Well ok the . My horoscope says to work on my first draft. #writingcommunity

I truly do not have an answer to this eternal creative cycle of Elation and Despair, the highs to the lows, a sense of accomplishment to a fixed vision of dread. What do I fear most? That the new book is boring? Maybe. That nothing that I do matters? Maybe. That I'm tired while the world is burning?

Despair is not a productive artistic emotion, actually (imo). It may be for some but in general it reflects something deeper. Perhaps fear that even if the last book was good, this one won't be. Burnout. Anger. Illness. Envy. Frustration. Catastrophic thinking (the end is nigh). And so on.

Book 2 of the well-reviewed The Witch Roads duology drops next week (The Nameless Land). As does a near future political sf short story on @reactorsff.bsky.social I recently turned in an epic fantasy novel in the Witch Roads world. I am chugging along! Today, 20K into a new book: Why is this crap?

Every time I sit down to write, my puppy thinks it means 'play time'.

Been watching Castle. It's the very definition of a comfort watch. I love it.

This headline literally applies to every author multiple times a day Hashtag relatable 😂

IT'S HALLOWEEN TOMORROW, I've got stories

TFW you have time to write, but..

Damn. The Fire Force anime is really good. Don’t know how I missed it before now. Nice that each season is 26 eps too. I’m only on ep. 7 of s1 but I’m looking forward to the next one.

Reading my royalties statement, I am maybe one or two books away from earning out on my debut book, KOJIKI. It’s been out for several years now & nice to see it’s still selling. #writingcommunity #writing

How am I supposed to get in the right frame of mind to write horror with this kind of distraction?

You'd think having extra time on my hands would mean I'd get some writing done, but I have even more distractions than usual. OTOH, I FINALLY finished a particularly difficult chapter in my WIP. Took me all month to do it. Sheesh Comp: Buffy x The Bodyguard x Figure Skating

@timewolf.bsky.social I like the new profile pic

Sorry to my friends here. I’ve been a little absent. Work stuff. Nothing serious, though.

I am in that wonderful #writing space where I see the scene I need in my head, but can't find the right words and phrases to get it down. Urrrg. Where has my writer's voice gone?

This hits hard today. LOL

We just learned my grand-niece is fighting leukemia. Her parents set up a gofundme page. Please help if you can. If you can’t, please repost and spread the word.🙏❤️ gofund.me/c60b60923

For #VintageToyTuesday is the 1989 Python Patrol Conquest with Copperhead. Obviously, my favorite. I've always liked the airplanes best. Incredible paint job made me an instant fan of this sub-series. #gijoe #vintagetoys #toyphotography

TFW you're grumpy and irritated for no reason. Yeah. That's today's mood.

I'm sorry guys, but I am unusually cranky today

Netflix’s The House of Guinness is REALLY good! My family going on the Guinness tour

Anyone else feeling let down by Wednesday season 2? It's no way near as good as season 1 IMO

I don’t know why we’re talking about rapture, but please buy LADZ’s sapphic horror book THE CRADLE OF ETERNAL NIGHT books2read.com/thecradleofe...

My agent thinks I'm close to going on sub. I celebrated for a 'very' short time before imposter syndrome reared its ugly head.

Publisher’s Weekly article. I find it hard to believe romantasy is as dead as they claim. Any thoughts?

Opportunity here for a writer on a low income to get access to a nine week novel writing course taught by the great @silvanhistorian.bsky.social www.curtisbrowncreative.co.uk/course/break...

On a whim, I peeked at my books on Goodreads and was pleased and shocked to see new ratings. It's been out for a very long time now, and people are still picking it up. Thank you, new readers. If you love it, great! If not, also great.

I am halfway through V.E. Schwab's incredible vampire story, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, and all I can say is WOW! Beautifully written. Incredible, villainous👍 characters. This is awesome!

Too much coffee

Puppy Training: Sealing off a room. How it started How it's going I walked away after placing the pillows to keep her from leaving the room and came back to this... I hope she's not this smart.

Important Reminder

It's me! Saying stuff to the lovely bookwomble!

The Society of Unknowable Objects is an incredible read. @garethjohnbrown.bsky.social writes the type of books that have wind and weave through mystery. Think Indiana Jones meets Doctor Who. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

We picked up our new puppy 🐶, Penelope this morning. Already a LOVE.
