Probably worship music is the biggest thing for me. This is the song I think of when I look at this picture or read this verse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ0W...

“I look up to the mountains. Does my strength come from the mountains? No. My strength comes from God. Who made heaven, and the earth, and the mountains.” Psalm 121 (MSG) - The mountain may crumble beneath you. But the story has not ended. #christianity #fantasywriter #booksky #thoughts #bible

Boldly go. Joshua 1:9 #Christian #amwritingfantasy #youareloved #booksky #youarenotalone

I miss when I used to read with no regard for chapter length. Maybe I used to read with a greater sense of escapism, on my lunch breaks at work, not caring how long the book went on because I just wanted to stay in it, but I miss that kind of reading. #reading #books #fantasywriter #fantasyreader

Sometimes things get really difficult, and this world is very hard to live in at times. But then there are sea otters. Thanks to people like DougDoug, we are more aware of them. Thanks, Doug. RIP Rosa. Long live the Queen. #dougdoug #seaotters #montereybayaquarium #Rosatheotter #inmemoriam

If you were a knight, what type of helmet would you have? Personally, I like a flat-topped barrel helmet. Share a pic or gif if you don’t know the name of your pick. #thoughts #questions #knights #medieval #helmet #fantasy #amwritingfantasy #swordsandsorcery #armor #justnerdthings #poll #opinion

Watching #nintendodirect streams is fun, even if you know you don’t have the money to buy any of the games that are coming out. But I guess it’s nice knowing that more people will be able to play Mario Galaxy 2, and hey, Mario galaxy movie coming out, so yay. #games #videogames #mario #movies #poor

The path doesn’t look like you hoped it would. The road winds a different way, or through a trial you’d rather not persevere through. Okay. It’s nice to know at least. Take a moment. Grieve, acknowledge your loss. Let yourself feel. It will do you a world of good. #thoughts #inspiration #writer

I love library bookstores and their low, low prices. I just went to my library looking for the Witcher: Blood of Elves and couldn’t find it to rent. Walked into the bookstore and there was an unopened, still in plastic wrap box set of the first three Witcher novels for $3. #books #library #fantasy

Perhaps my favorite character from my upcoming book: A Testament of Dragons - Roah #fantasy #fantasywriter #booksky #dragons #characters #cleanbooks #epicfantasy #strongfemalelead #fantasybooks #books

“This world is far too dangerous a thing.” The white dragon Roah has grown to hate her family’s acts of creation. When Roah and her father are trapped in a darkly familiar realm, they must face the horrors of the past to find a way back to the new world to stop it from falling to ruin like before.

Peace comes. Though the demons may torment your mind by night, though the voices may shout and scream, though no sound is made to break the silence, the day will still break. The night does not last forever. Hold on until daylight. Please. I’ll meet you there. #poetry #thoughts #fantasywriter

I think a weakness of my DM-ing is my sound effects. I love doing voices and I have a few good ones that I love to break out, and they add a lot to my games. But my sound effects are pretty lackluster. Aside from a creaky door, I cannot do many good sounds that I want. #DM #Dnd #trrpg #roleplaying

Everybody needs friends. We weren’t made for being alone. We weren’t made to be isolated. Taking some time for yourself is one thing, but going it alone is another. Find friends who enjoy YOU. #thoughts #friends #loneliness #companions

Don’t skip the origin story. In today’s superhero movies, where the hero’s origin is often skipped because everyone knows it, we miss out on a lot of the depth and heart of the hero’s world. Origins gave us Yinsen, Dr. Erskine, Uncle Ben, Rachel Dawes. They add a lot. #writer #movies #origin #mcu

Underrated performance: Stanley Tucci as Dr. Erskine in “Captain America: The First Avenger”. Gone so soon, but delivered so many memorable lines and displayed such presence on screen. RIP Dr. Abraham Erskine #Marvel #CaptainAmerica #MCU #movies #actors

DM-ing principle (that I need to be better at): Stop interrupting the flow of the game to check the rules all the time. If your player reads the description of a spell to you, if it’s not a major thing, just go with it, check it after session, and settle it then if you can. #dnd #dm #ttrpg

Something different for you guys: A friend of mine, Kristin Wollett, has her first book releasing today! Congratulations, Kristin! As A Last Resort is a romance novel written by a dedicated author with great passion! If you’re interested, check it out on Amazon! #booksky #writer #romance #novel

I hope you’re having a good Labor Day everyone. Today I’m just sitting here thinking about some old friends and some days that are gone now. It’s the quiet moments that bring up the scars we’d rather not deal with. But sooner or later, we have to stop running and face our demons. #thoughts

The darkness will not last forever. Though the road be hard and the journey be long, the worst of it will not last eternally. Keep moving onward, weary traveler. In time, you will look back and be joyful for how much better things got. #encouragement #writer #fantasy #thoughts #journey #endurance

We are warriors. Our enemies may not be the same. Your battle might be in the mind, while another’s may be against flesh and blood. But we are all warriors. We fight for love. Fight for hope. Fight for joy. Keep your sword at the ready, as you fight for the good in the world. #thoughts #writer

Home. It’s far away. Does it wait for me, as eagerly as I wait for it? Where the loving arms and the warm fire will welcome me, not as a kindness, but because it is where I belong. A place where finally… I am wanted. Cherished. And uniquely loved. There is a home waiting for all of us. #home

Is it just me or is Eddie Vedder’s version of “Save It For Later” (featured prominently in FX’s “The Bear”) a total comfort song? Like every time I listen to it, I just feel more stable, more relaxed. #music #thoughts #fantasywriter #chillguitar #chillvibes #calm #thebear #yeschef #pearljam

Which movie character reminds you the most of yourself? 🖤

Why is it so hard to focus on the positive things, the people who stick around with you, instead of constantly focusing on the one or two people… who don’t like you? I don’t have an answer right now. It’s just difficult. It feels like it should be easy. But it’s not. #thoughts #questions

If you see this, QTP with a game that was released the year you were born.

Writer’s tip: Feeling discouraged? Feeling like there’s no way you’ll ever get published? Go to a Barnes & Noble, and see how many people’s dreams have become a reality. People tell me my book is too long. I found a published debut that’s even longer. #booksky #fantasywriter #writing #querying

Sometimes you just wake up with a song stuck in your head that you haven’t heard in over a year. Today it’s “Mandy” by Barry Manilow - written about a dog named Mandy by the way. #music #random #morningthoughts #mandy #dogs

Writing tip: Be prepared for inspiration to strike. Have a way to write things down, and be prepared to do so. Whether you carry a notebook and keep it in your back pocket, or just use the Notes on your phone, you never know when inspiration will hit. Don’t waste it. #fantasy #booksky #writing

Another one of my favorite characters from my upcoming fantasy novel, “A Testament of Dragons”. I love Abriel. #fantasy #fantasybooks #booksky #dragons #amwritingfantasy #cleanbooks #testamentofdragons #fantasycharacters #epicfantasy #characters

“The king is my father. Just call me Abriel.” The red dragon, Abriel, has given it all, his body scarred from his capture and torture in the old war. When his father goes missing, Abriel must learn to lead like a king in order to save a young dwarf girl from captivity. #fantasy #booksky #querying

I think the secret to GRRM is pretty simple: he writes great characters. Worldbuilding? Eh. I think even he admits that Tad Williams probably did it better, but character-wise? A lot of us still have a lot to learn from the guy, late books or not. #BookSky #GRRM #ASOIAF #EpicFantasy #fantasybooks

Need help figuring out the outline of your story? Tip: Try starting with the emotional journey. What lesson does your character need to learn through this story? How do they change by the end? What will happen if they don’t? These answer can help you start with heart. #booksky #fantasy #writing

The voices will be loud. Those who oppose you will shout and scream and gnash their teeth at you. They will make their voices so big and all-encompassing that you may think they are the only sound in the world. But they are not. They may scream the loudest, but that doesn’t mean they are right.

Hey. I know life is hard, but please… don’t give up. It might not be easy to see how things can get better, and I get that. Trust me, I get that. Even now, I feel it too. But please… don’t give up on me. Someone in this world really needs you. Maybe not right this second, but soon. Stay strong.

Shout out to one of the most gorgeous-looking book covers I have seen in a long time. Made me pick up the book instantly. #Guardian #booksky #vellichorepic #fantasybooks #fantasyart

Shout out to Superman (2025). Really enjoyed this movie, and it gave me hope (as Superman often does). For years I have walked out of Superman movies feeling that I wanted to be like Superman. This time, I felt that Superman… was just like me. #Superman #therealpunkrock #hope #movies #cinemasky

Something I’m learning: Rest is ESSENTIAL. You’re not being lazy by taking a break, you’re not wasting your time by recuperating and letting yourself recover. You’re using your time well and stewarding your own self with strength and love. LET YOURSELF REST!!! It’s okay.

Brandon Routh was a great Superman. What’s your most-watched, everyone-else-hates-it movie? #movies #unpopularopinion #supermanreturns #superman #cinemasky

What’s one movie you still love, even though everyone else seems to hate it? Here’s mine: (Superman Returns)

Take what you need: - write the story you'd like to read - write the story that helps you sleep - write the story that keeps you up - write the story they ordered you not to tell - write the story you can never forget

I don’t care what other people say: The Obi-Wan Kenobi series slaps. #StarWars #Obiwankenobi #jedi #unpopularopinion #hellothere

Question for you: What do you want in life?
