This month's Indie Paperback was a lovely in-person pick up at a comic con today, and @elinortaylor.bsky.social even very kindly signed it for me! There was a lot of great authors there, but this just really captured my interest

Guess who's hosting #vssthreads for the next couple of weeks.... 🖐 Me!! Join in if you fancy it. 👇 #writingprompts #microfiction

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

Thread on why you should buy books in a series, even if the series isn't done (and even if some other author has not completed their own series). It comes down to: 99.9% of the time, supporting the author at publication GREATLY increases the chance of getting to see the entire series published.

Growing increasingly concerned re Zuck over on the other non-X site. Would I be better off here? 🤔 What's the #VSS situation like on BlueSky?

Co-authored by Hugh Howey (Silo) and Elinor Taylor. The story follows the main character on a journey through a wasteland, tracking down mysterious balloons, each with a postcard attached. Every page is designed as a postcard, and the story gradually unfolds as you read through each one.

Both @elinortaylor.bsky.social & @hughhowey.com are at NYCC this weekend. Great chance to pickup the series they co-wrote and have both autograph them. Highly recommend the series- ‘Balloon Hunter’ & ‘Death to anyone that Reads This’

Trying out Threads for a while.

As ever, if you’ve read BLACK RIVER ORCHARD — or any book by any author! — and liked it, please leave a review at any of the expected review receptacles: Goodreads, Amazon, social media, carved into the skin of an apple and thrown at a random schoolchild, etc. Please and thank you.
