Predator Badlands absolutely rips, and I love seeing the Alien world brought in, but my biggest desire is somehow to get Terminator in this franchise. I read an AvPvT comic that always stuck with me and I’d love to see it realized

It’s actually illegal to make a movie look this good today

Prepping for Badlands

We all know that superheroes are the modern mythology, but it really is funny that the Greeks had all their greatest heroes teaming up and calling themselves The Argonauts as like the damn Avengers

Being flooded with the knowledge of an infinitely expanding library is enough to make anyone a little strange Read more: ChristianAkins.com/grimportents #writingcommunity #writesky #WIPSnips #Booksky #indiebooks

I think genre can is a tool to guide readers to what they may like, but I don’t even consider genre boundaries when I write. I tell the story in the most interesting way that I can and then determine what genres it falls in after the fact #writingq #writingcommunity

Well I WAS nearly 10,000 words into my WIP, but now I’m basically scrapping an entire chapter to rework the story from 3rd person omniscient to 3rd person limited. Pacing was all off! #writingcommunity #writesky

Our VHS collection was starting to get a little out of hand, but rather than scale back, we just got new bookcases

Captain Crunch Oops All Berries invented an entire category of joke without meaning to. I can say The Rise of Skywalker is Oops All Fan Service, and we all just know what that means

Sold 5 copies of my book to the local coffee/book shop to sell in their store 🥳

I’ve never actually done a November writing challenge, but seeing as I’d like to finish my next book within a year, this is as good a time to start. So despite being nuclear levels of busy yesterday, I did in fact get some writing done #writingcommunity #writesky

Played through each one at least a dozen times

This World Series has been incredible for a number a of reasons but mostly because I’ve now learned that most of the people I follow are massive baseball fans

My wife and I carved our pumpkins last night with our friends and I think they both came out really well! This was also the first year I’ve seen Little Shop of Horrors, so I had to represent it

Hey howdy hey, I’m Christian Akins, my book is horror/comedy/fantasy, and my childhood fear was of people in pig masks because of a really messed up dream I had about one casually following me while the world ended! #HorrorWritersChat #writingcommunity #halloween

Crash Bandicoot is as cool as Sonic wants to be

Threw in an extra couple lines for context but otherwise I think this is the first snippet I’ve shared of my current WIP… #writingcommunity #writingprompt

Started Metroid Prime 2 last night. I complained a bit about the controls of the first Metroid, but that was the REMASTER. Playing original GameCube controls now is uhhhhh rough

Playing the new Pokemon ZA is kind a putting me in the mood to draw Pokemon again. I used to post a new one almost every day but it’s been a few months. Might be time to round out Gen 3…

So busy today I’m opening this app for the first time after midnight

Finally beat Metroid Prime tonight, which managed to feel distinctly like a classic Metroid game despite being an FPS. Despite the massive upgrade however, I still prefer Super Metroid gameplay and aesthetic. Still really good though

Kind of shocked that I have exactly one instance of this word, even if it does sound like nonsense out of context. Book link: www.christianakins.com/grimportents #writingcommunity #wipsnips #writesky #booksky #indiebooks #halloween

This is unfortunately me regarding books, toys, games, and VHS tapes 😔

Modern video games are striving too much for realism. Is it not enough to eat a dot?

Which film reminds you most of your childhood?

You know I’ve never read a single Stephen King novel but I’ve loved almost all the movies based on them. I really think I’d vibe with him but I have no idea where to start. Should I do Dark Tower since I’m already a fantasy guy? Or dive straight into the like Pet Cemetery? #booksky #stephenking

I have not written it YET but I have outlined and named my sequel and it’s mainly because I feel like my characters get off too easy. They took BIG risks and unfortunately there must be consequences that they have to deal with #writingcommunity #writingq

Lucky is a close as I get, so instead of the usual real ad, here’s one of my printed cards I’ve started leaving in coffee shops. Maybe someone will scan it before it’s unceremoniously thrown away! Book Link: www.christianakins.com/grimportents #writingcommunity #WIPSnips #Writesky #Booksky

In my script, Chekhov collects guns because they’re cool. They are, of course, not loaded and do not feature in the plot

This is also my least hated novel of all time

You don’t know if throwing a printer will hurt a ghost until you try it #writingcommunity #wipsnips #writesky #booksky #indiebooks #halloween

Aw yeah, monster shelf is coming along great, just need some of the 80s slashers to fill the gaps

Absolutely incredible find today while thrifting, Invisible Man VHS
