Almost every piece of fiction is all like “But what if something went wrong?” And audiences are all like: “Holy shit.”

Fucken' poetry.

@jonezyboy.bsky.social Takes a look at Horror Novels, Career-Defining Debuts You Should Know About Featuring @jconnollybooks.bsky.social @andrewcull.bsky.social @victoriadalpe.bsky.social @shaunhamill.bsky.social @lmcknighthardy.bsky.social ⬇️⬇️ gnofhorror.com/horror-novel... 🩸📚 💙📚

I love rewriting myself. Pulling up the previous draft in one window and a blank document in another. Retyping helps me re-inhabit the story, paying close attention to narrative rhythm and word choices. It’s not the fastest way to revise, but I can’t argue with its effectiveness.

James Gunn made Spotify playlists for some of the characters in SUPERMAN. The playlist for Clark features a lot of songs I love, and the following commentary: “Clark listens to a lot of upbeat music he thinks is edgy but is not,” and never have I felt more seen. I’m 💀

“SUPERMAN”? More like “TWO HOURS OF FUN AND JOY THAT IS IMPERFECT BUT ALSO SOMEHOW MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS, MUCH LIKE THE TITLE CHARACTER HIMSELF” amirite? Srsly y’all. I cried like three times 😭

I’ve been able to kept my excitement fairly bottled till now. But today? Today I will probably be useless. Because today, I get to see SUPERMAN at 7:15.

Oh look, a headline that IMPROVES my mental health.

My problem in 2025 is that I currently have enough work to be a full-time writer but not enough money. It’s a great problem to have! Unless you’re my girlfriend, or friends, or family, who love me and like to see me regularly, and to know I’m healthy and well-rested.

With my original novels and my forthcoming IP novels, I’ve checked off a bunch of bucket list items. Now all I have to do is 1. get a gig (even a TINY ONE) writing a comic book, and 2. write something for the moving pictures. Then I can die… not happy, per se, but maybe content-ish?

Named a chapter of my WIP “Fire & Blood” and then remembered it was already the title of a George R.R. Martin Westeros book. Said “motherfucker!” Then gave the chapter a different, less good name, and moved on with my day.

Every month at my day job, I write a short article for the company newsletter, translating technical concepts and industry standards into language that (hopefully) a layperson can understand. The final product is usually 250-500 words, but it belies the hours of study and drafting.

My first idea for an ALIEN novel. We eventually went another way.

@shaunhamill.bsky.social is back !

Gonna record the next Class Warfare w/ @ttjourneys.bsky.social in a few hours but first wanted to brag on our Lore TA @shaunhamill.bsky.social on the announcement of his next book...AN OFFICIAL FREAKIN' ALIEN NOVEL! Our cohost writes Alien novels, no bigs 💅 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/783000...

Friends! Some news! I wrote an ALIEN novel, thereby fulfilling a lifelong dream! It’s about art and religion and madness and monsters, and it’s out in September! Available for preorder now! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/783000...

I love the moment in "Return of the King" when Arwen arrives at Aragorn's coronation. Liv Tyler's performance communicates so much shyness and vulnerability, and then he sweeps her into his arms and I burst into tears EVERY. DAMN. TIME.

I adore Cat’s work and I’m so excited for this book to hit later this year! I’d encourage you all to put in a preorder posthaste!

LORD OF THE RINGS: weird title, referencing a character who never physically appears in the books. The better title? HOBBIT 2: GOLLUM’S REVENGE.

I get unreasonably angry at my girlfriend’s dog when she (the dog) escapes from the back yard. Like the dog is doing it to spite me, instead of just, you know, being a dog 😂

Having a kid must be wild: like, here’s the most obnoxious, ungrateful, infuriating person you’ve ever met, and now you love them so much that sometimes you forget to breathe. Oh, and this feeling will never leave you.

Here’s a new theme song I wrote for season 3 of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON (set to the tune of the Muppet Show theme): It’s time to ride the dragons It’s time to steal the throne It’s time to have some intrigue In the land of Westeros HBO: You can Venmo me or just send the Brinks truck to my house thx.

It's the nature, almost the duty, of talented people to recognize both; what was great-- and what could be better.

here come old laptop he come bootin up slowly he got broken touchpad he need one more update he got no space on this pc one thing i can tell you its got no warranty

I once saw a tweet where a writer asked, “What IP do you dream of working on?” Another writer (with a larger following) retweeted this, simply to say “I don’t dream of IP.” I’m sure his medal from the American Academy for Artistic Purity and Punching Down is in the mail 🙄.

Watch out kids. This ain’t your grandpa’s vampire movie! This one has serious Nosferatude!

“The Muppet Christmas Carol” has one of the best writerly burns I’ve ever heard: “I knew you weren’t suited to literature!”

Our Lore TA @shaunhamill.bsky.social's latest book - THE DISSONANCE - is on sale for a limited time: the eBook version is $2! @rachelharrisonsghost (Black Sheep) says it is "wildly endearing" and "a masterpiece." Paul Tremblay (Survivor Song) calls it a "wildly imaginative, thrilling... epic."

Most disturbing scene in the trailer was the Snyder fans attacking Superman

Alpha Flight (Series, 2016 - 2023)

Next, @shaunhamill.bsky.social dives into "The Dissonance" as we talk about him learning how to write #fantasy while writing a fantasy novel where ability to use this magic is rooted in the dark strength of one's personal traumas www.writersafterdark.com/writers-afte...

Gotta turn in draft 1 of Solomon Kane January 3rd, then start edits on Unannounced Other IP Novel! I have at least two original books I wanna write after that, including my Spooky Christmas novel. Gonna be a busy boy for a while yet. We love to see it.

Here’s my pitch for the next “Twister.” Ready? TWISTER WORLD This summer… the park is open. Nobody steal this okay? I’m gonna be so rich.

"If this book were a song, it’d be a mix of John Carpenter synth and Tchaikovsky on acid." Thanks to George Dunn of FanFiAddict for putting THE DISSONANCE on his "Top Reads" list this year!

Finished the new DRAGON AGE today! Dig it a lot! Not quite as much as Origins or Inquisition but I still happily poured 82 hours of my free time into it. I loved the characters, and the gameplay. I loved romancing certified dwarven cutie Lace Harding. Would recommend.

I'm a sucker for anything #Dragonlance related. This @dndlorecast.bsky.social is like an early Christmas gift. And congrats to @shaunhamill.bsky.social on his book announcement! That will be a late Christmas gift in Jan 2026. open.spotify.com/episode/4rUw...

Thanks to @shaunhamill.bsky.social and Emily Van Duyne for a great week of podcasting! Upcoming schedule: 12/10: Melissa Ludtke Season finale on 12/17: Brea Butler FMC finale on 12/20: Sara B. Franklin Subscribe and tune in: apple.co/3XMnpcc

Hey friends! I’m so excited to share that I am writing the FIRST-EVER Solomon Kane novel. SUFFER THE WITCH will be out in January 2026! Official announcement below (including some badass new Conan novels from Tim Lennon and Tim Waggoner)! screenrant.com/titan-books-...

"The novel in a lot of ways is about the people who see you best when you’re young and the most yourself in a way. And whether or not that bond can transcend time and space and bring you back to yourself as a sad and broken adult." — @shaunhamill.bsky.social
