My Review of Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito www.patreon.com/posts/my-rev...

I'm thinking of adding early and unedited episodes of Creative Dynamos to my Patreon feed at the $3 and up tiers. There may be potential freebies from the guests too, depending on what I can work out. Let me know what you think in this poll. Open to everyone. www.patreon.com/posts/new-co...

I'd like to add three new paying Patrons between now and the end of the month. I have lots of exciting plans, but those plans require money and Patreon is one way I finance my efforts. patreon.com/scott_roche?...

In the latest episode of Creative Dynamos, I interview @brianrathbone.bsky.social about self-publishing, wide distribution, and building a long-term fantasy backlist Success. youtu.be/r5PmjZWrYo4 open.spotify.com/episode/5SYW...

Not for nothing, but Star Trek:TOS would have never been able to do what STA did with the "Our Town" episode.

These are the words a rapist would use. #Trump on Cuba. "Whether I free it, take it, I think I can do anything I want with it,” he said. “You want to know the truth, they’re a very weakened nation now.”

Interested in a gaslamp fantasy mystery? Buy this ebook and discover why it's my best seller. www.amazon.com/Casebook-Esh...

So, Landman is what you'd get if George R R Martin had written Dallas.

Fuck Tor for charging fifteen dollars for an ebook.

I will never, EVER understand why, when someone asks for an author rec, someone would include an author who's a best seller. That's boring. It's like recommending McD's when someone asks for a great burger place. I want to find hidden gems. If i want best sellers, I know how to find them on Amazon.

Dear algorithm, Please bring me readers of horror, science fiction, fantasy, and genre mashups. So long as they aren't wearing "MAGA" colors and they DO enjoy stories with people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and gender identities/sexualities.

In episode 33 of Creative Dynamos, I interview James Alan McGettigan, a talented filmmaker and author. youtu.be/mov0wU4PjDc open.spotify.com/episode/3d0c...

Since a publisher I've submitted a #horror story to accepts simultaneous submissions, recommend a pro/semi-pro paying market that I might submit this story to.

Considering doing something special if I make it to 150 subs by the end of the month. Should I do: A) A special video where I do something silly B) A book giveaway to all subs C) Other (please specify)

I really hate people who schedule meetings for 800am.

@thesimplysyn.bsky.social Hi! I have a YouTube show where I interview authors. I just interviewed Angela Sylvaine and noticed you did as well. Curious to know if you're looking for any more guests or an opportunity to cross promote?

I felt too awful last night to properly celebrate, but there's a good chance I'll be interviewing a genuine best selling author on my podcast in the near future.

Followed. This sounds fun!

Looking for a horror publisher to pitch my book to, because why not? If you know of any good small presses that are currently open to submissions, shout them out.

Day three of asking you to subscribe to YouTube channel so I can get to 100 subs by the end of the month. I only need ten more to meet my goal. www.youtube.com/@ScottRoche

I need a tie breaker in my flash fiction poll for this week. Anyone can vote. www.patreon.com/posts/flash-...

We have entered the era where publishers are asking you to submit a story that's either hand written or in a document with Track Changes turned on, so they can see you didn't write it using AI.

this is a story for kitschy coffin connoisseurs, snoopers, dreamers, black comedy enjoyers, surrealists, and fans of one (1) specific Always Sunny episode

Seeing Jason Momoa riding a motorcycle in The Wrecking Crew makes me even more confident he'll do well as the Main Man.

What are you creating this week?

Today is another bad stomach day, but I gotta work and posting on social media also helps pass the time. How do you deal with days where your spoon count is low, but you have to make shit happen? @otheringpodcast.bsky.social you know what I'm talking about. #disability #disabledwriter #spoony

I'd love to get to a hundred subscribers this month. If you like audio stories, interviews with creative people, and book reviews come on over! youtube.com/@scottroche?...
