When you're an author, everyone asks you about getting published. My 9 year old has started very early. "Do you think I can get my book published?" "That's just a picture of a ghost, are you going to do a story with it?" *Shrug* "You can type it up and have some of the money."

I am currently lost in the pain cave of the book I am writing. I have lost all objectivity stats. The negativity goblins are surrounding me. There is no sign of the light. All that matters is gathering the words and escaping.

This is how i imagine every Black Library authors.

Take that my primary school teachers.

Only irresponsible weaklings run in on a mate's fight, punch someone, and then run away yelling NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE. Also, bombing a middle eastern country because "they're close to having WMDs" - sound familiar?

Writes a 100,000 word novel, no sweat. Asked to write a short 1000 word introduction to that novel: mass panic.

I've restrained from commenting too much because I'm not American but I am a pretty keen student of history. It doesn't take much to see the parallels. Of course, Donald Trump hasn't read a book in his entire life and it shows.

Went to my old high school last night for information because that's where my son will probably go. That was weird. There definitely wasn't enough acknowledgement of me there that's for sure. No statues or anything.

Remember when Shakedowners first launched? (Neither do I—it’s been a blur of BAMF jumps and coffee). Apparently it was 4 years ago. To celebrate you can currently get the first book on Kindle for free! 🚀 #SciFiComedy www.amazon.com/Shakedowners-J...

I know it's a terrible time in the rest of the world that isn't Australia but I just posted my first AMA on Reddit if anyone's interested. www.reddit.com/r/ScienceFic...

I've been on a bit of a social media detox so it’s been a while! What’s your current favorite sci-fi show, movie, or book? Asking for a friend... and by friend, I mean me.

Me trying to explain my new book idea to someone who doesn't read science fiction or fantasy:

Elon Musk could have been the world's greatest philanthropist, pushing electric transportation to the world and breaking the back of our reliance on oil while taking us to Mars and simultaneously putting untold resources into the fight against climate change. Instead we get this.

This year I'm going to do less. That's my resolution. Do less stuff.

It's our favorite holiday tradition, ending the year with a new Da Red Gobbo book! @justinwoolley.bsky.social provided this year's entertainment with Long Live Da Red Gobbo. Does it uphold Da Red Gobbo standard? The next book club episode is live! wh40kbookclub.com/wh40k-book-c...

I'm just here for Krypto.

The steam deck continues to be the greatest gaming device I've ever owned. Just sitting on the couch playing Indy on a crystal clear OLED handheld is ridiculous.

🧵Black Librarian Review 🧵 After the thick read of Avenging Son, Long Live Da Red Gobbo's 100-page length was the perfect palate cleanser. But would it stand up as a meal in its own right? Some thoughts, spoiler-free as always! #WarhammerCommunity #BlackLibrary #Nerdlings

Gonna be some great little stories in this bunch this Christmas. I'm serving up some more Red Gobbo which stands alone but is also a nice tie in read for anyone who's read Long Live Da Red Gobbo!

The progress of science!

Good discussion of the immensity of the 40k universe from Alanah. If you're looking for a good way in with humans and orks (orks is best ain't it) my book Catachan Devil was written specifically as a jumping in point (no massive lore knowledge required).

Bluesky is a real Checo chamber.

Here we go again...I should have frequent flyer points here by now. Follow up angiogram to make sure my stents are all good and my brain aneurysm has done the right thing and disappeared.

Just been to the post office to pick up author copies of this little guy in the bright green flesh 💚

Well, here come the inevitable stories of people realising they've committed the great oopsie. Sounds very much like the stories post-Brexit, the other great goof-em-up.

So Bluesky feels a lot like Twitter from ten years ago doesn't it? And I mean that in the best possible way. Organic engagement, wholesome stuff, good conversation. It's nice.

If Trump wins he better at least tell us about the aliens.
