Chris from Brooklyn. Week is going good -- tomorrow is the last day of school (YAY!) and someone on Threads who said he was going to be an indie author's book actually bought 5 of my ebooks. Other than that, I've been sending out stories and reprints #WeeknightWriters

Someone bought five of my books yesterday! Well, Happy Fathers Day to Me! (The 6 pages read were a math book I did back in 2015.) #booksky #writingcommunity #WeeknightWriters

A6: Recent, no, but I'm working on the next one In the meantime: On Amazon and Kindle Unlimited -- every page is, like, a half cent! #WeeknightWriters

A3 One other thing: Registered for Pulpfest in Pittsburgh at the end of July. I've never been there before, so it'll be something different. I've read a few Doc Savage books, but I'll still feel like a novice. #WeeknightWriters

A4 Anyone got a couple hours in the day you're not using and want to pass those along? If you joined the Heart for Hounds Kickstarter, then you got a link to my book "IN A FLASH 2020" in your email today. Enjoy it Highlight parts of it Review it anywhere (even on 'zon or GReads) #WeeknightWriters

A3: Bear with me Family got together, and we ate and told stories because ... we interred my brother's & SIL's ashes in a niche at Green Wood Cemetery There's joy in the stories and joy that the ashes are *out of my house* where they've been for a while now. #WeeknightWriters

A1 Okay enough I’ve been grading late work, really late work, and state exams A few students have only just found out that they needed my Graphic Novel class credit to graduate #WeeknightWriters

Christopher from Brooklyn, sff author who feels like he hasn’t been working on much of anything as school winds down I did get edits back from my editor about a story for that charity anthology so now I know it made the cut #WeeknightWriters

I’m reading an ARC I know it isn’t the final copy, so I’m ignoring the (many, many) typos, and things like “those in favor say I” (it fits in character, maybe …) But someone just called Chad “the cracks of this group” because, you know, Chad is a couple of pieces of curved wood in a medieval house…

The fact that I have a page in The Internet Speculative Fiction Database is really cool!

If you're at Dexlite in Morristown, NJ this weekend, stop by the @especbooks.bsky.social table, buy one of my books, and you can get a bonus story emailed to you! #Booksky #Booktok

In case I get called away from the chat, I wanted to mention something good - the charity anthology kickstarter I contributed to, it’s $160 away from the next stretch goal, which is a free ebook of my collection IN A FLASH 2020 #WeeknightWriters

A3 The most obvious disabilities my characters have had were two from two from a Robot Takeover story. One had an insulin pump and the other had an ICD The Robot Overlords designated them Cyborgs and made them liaisons to remaining humans #WeeknightWriters

A2 Of course, as soon as you ask the question I can’t think of any … well, one with a hook and one with a peg leg Okay, let’s go with Tiny Tim, (Dickens not Tulips), always upbeat and positive #WeeknightWriters

The heat in NYC was definitely something as was the thunderstorm that broke the heat But I got steps in and we’re gearing up for the end of school #WeeknightWriters

Christopher from Brooklyn Hot this week but still walked Reevaluating my next 2 projects, maybe swap the order so I can give the other one more time #WeeknightWriters

Bird fell out of a tree right in front of me, almost on top of me. It was face down and I thought it was dead but then it righted itself

A6: Aside from the Kickstarter, there's A Bucket Full of Moonlight from @especbooks.bsky.social (I took that photo at Niagara Falls -- I wanted to try to capture the cover in real life!) #WeeknightWriters

A4: Well, the charity kickstarter funded in one day and knocked down a couple stretch goals You could stretch it some more and pick up more freebies! Plus there's a stretch goal for producing a second volume with more stories (and I submitted a second story... hint hint) #WeeknightWriters

A3 Second one: A Heart For Hounds (charity anthology to help rescue dogs) went to Kickstarter yesterday and it was labeled a "Project We Love" I submitted a story for it and while I don't have an official "you're in", my name is listed with other authors on the page. #WeeknightWriters

A3 Two things to share: first, our school's prom was last week. During an early afternoon dept meeting, another teacher came in asking for donations as a couple of kids were still short for the tickets Without a 2nd thought, I pulled a bill out of my pocket, folded it over + #WeeknightWriters

A2 Struggles? Finding markets for the few stories I have available to send. Finding previous stories for a themed collection of flash science fiction to cut down on the amount of new material I'll need for it #WeeknightWriters

A1 A couple days ago, I got up in the "middle of the night" to use the bathroom. I usually glance at the time, but this time I hadn't. I was settling back into bed when I heard the coffee pot brewing. Oh ... not middle of the night then... (it has a timer) #WeeknightWriters

A1 It's a week like other weeks. Weather's been mostly nice, and I had fewer appts to handle, so I got out to walk more. The streets of Brooklyn won't walk themselves, you know. (I finally passed the Wegmans that opened a while back, but no time to stop in.) #WeeknightWriters

Christopher from Brooklyn, NY. My "writing" week seems more like "marketing" week, but I'd put that in quotes, too. Still editing a story to send out, and I've sent out 4 things in the past 5-10 days. #WeeknightWriters

Hello #WeeknightWriters ! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your writing week is going! Or not going, that's valid too

I’m in this!

It's not *like* being there. It *is* being there. If they can just figure out the business model. "Cyber Where" 1 of 20 stories in In A Flash 2020 Christopher J. Burke @eSpecBooks #WritingCommunity #BookSky #bookstagram #booktok

Contributions to my Brooklyn classroom library would be welcome and appreciated. I have a Graphic Novels class

What’s your favorite (Name), (Verb) the (Noun) expression?

A5: Also, request "A Bucket Full of Moonlight" at your local library. And you can do it from an app, like Libby, you don't even have to go there in person! #WeeknightWriters

A5: Read, review, tell your friends, then review on other sites. If you have KU, set aside a night a week to read others from this community. Each page is an ego boost, and a few pennies. Or half pennies. #WeeknightWriters

A3 I own it. It's all my decisions. And it's on my schedule. So far, I've only been published by a small press, and they have their priorities. I got the idea to repurposed old stories that appeared online that nobody wants, and I thought I could release them every few months #WeeknightWriters

A2: I was interested, and I finally did it. Some missteps at first but I had interest from people, so it balanced out. (By the second book, their interest waned a little.) I have five books out that way and I need to switch it up a little for number six. #WeeknightWriters

A1: Biding my time until summer Something like 31 class days, then testing, and admin days ... Less than two calendar months though! #WeeknightWriters

Good evening from Brooklyn. I'm Chris, and I write a lot of flash and short stories. The past couple of days, I've been working on a story that I stopped sending out nearly two years ago to update it and add material. #WeeknightWriters

A neurological test can have all your memories flooding back, one more time. "Memories 2.0" 1 of 20 stories in In A Flash 2020 Christopher J. Burke @especbooks.bsky.social #WritingCommunity #BookSky #bookstagram

If any local (NYC) readers would like to donate to my Graphic Novel class’s reading library, contributions would be appreciated Spanish language books, doubly so

A6: Some oldies but goodies to share: Portrait of a Lady Vampire and Other Vampiric Cravings. Rated four stars by the Paranormal Romance Guild. www.amazon.com/Burkes-Lore-... #WeeknightWriters

A5 Drop some time travel vibes ... I need to write a couple of those! #WeeknightWriters

A5 If you're the one who read 1 page of my Vampire book on KU ... could you read a few more? It gets better after the table of contents! Really! (I prefer to think that the person who read it last month, read an extra page...) #WeeknightWriters
