Day 19: Word of the day: 'third.' In this scene from my current WIP (dark epic fantasy), four friends decide to get back at a guy who has been making their lives miserable by wrecking his home while he's away. But things turn ugly real fast ;) #WIPSnips #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Day 16: Are you a plotter, pantser, or plantser? This is a funny one. I'm a plotter when it comes to, well, plot ;) But characters? Pantser all the way. #FantasyIndiesNovember #BookSky #WritingCommunity

My novella “The Battle of Braxia” is now available as a standalone ebook. A young woman from a patriarchal society finds herself thrown in the middle of a war between Imperial troops and rebel forces. It has action but also lots of philosophical themes. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FZPGJYS6

This made me laugh so much! And it's *brilliant*. Everyone should do this! And not just on LinkedIn, mind you.

Interesting article on how to remove a bunch of useless AI features from various platforms (Google, Meta, Copilot, Android, etc.) Thought some of you might find this useful. www.consumerreports.org/electronics/...

Submitted a bunch of #poems today. And wrote two more chapters for my #serial. Will try to get a couple more done before I dive into the next novel.

Bree is an awesome author! You really need to read her stuff. Seriously. Like, right now...

Yes! I just finished writing a 5k short story that was being very rebellious. Took me five days--which is quite long for me. Anyway, now I can move on! Next up: write a few chapters of my serial before I dive into my next novel. *rolls up his sleeves*

Damn. Just learned that Drew Struzan passed away. Was one of the best poster artists. Some of his work includes all 3 films in the "Back to the Future" series & the 2nd and 3rd Indiana Jones. I wrote a bit about him last year in an article about film posters: trianglent.substack.com/p/movie-post...

Hey Bluesky! I am a Science-Fiction and fantasy writer. New to the platform. Been resisting creating yet another social media account, but since this seems to be where all the cool (writing) kids hang out, I thought I'd jump in.
