I write because I love it, but I also write as a way to exorcise some of my own demons. At the moment, I'm writing fiction but it also works for journaling, nonfiction and any other form of self-expression. #fantasybooks #booklover

I love writing and I'm having an absolute blast writing my current books. But there's no denying life can make it bloody difficult at times. Here's 3 tools that I use when it all seems too hard. #fantasybook #bookstagram

Writing dark fantasy is one of my favorite things to do but it ain't easy. I have specific things I need around me or the muse remains in hiding. What do you need to be creative? https://vampiresandthevapors.com/home #fantasyworld #darkfantasy

Redbower. Have you heard of it? It's a town of two halves really. The Lights, where the vampires live and The Village where everybody else lives. It's location is secret but is rumored to be somewhere deep in the forests of Canada. You can find out more at vampiresandthevapors.com #bookworm #bo

This is the first post of a two-parter where author Fiona Tate talks about the Village, which is in Redbower, a magical town that was built as an experiment by the Arcane Guild. Really? They couldn't figure that out themselves? https://link.vampiresandthevapors.com/sp/c2f835a8e8b

Most wholesalers push too hard. Seller says no, they quit. My approach: Offer resources first. Build trust. Follow up with questions, not pressure. Last quarter, 4 sellers who declined in January called me in October. All 4 closed. Are you losing deals by moving too fast? #RealEstateInvesting

If you're anything like me, I don't have the time or the patience to read through an essay length book review. If I'm looking for a book, it's because I want to read a book. Now. Not in half an hour. Check out the mini book reviews at https://link.vampiresandthevapors.com/sp/f1987c2be3f #bookaddi

You, halt! Yes, you, halt! You are looking beautiful! Just had to tell you. #dailyhaikuprompt #Halt #Haiku #Senryu #Poetry #Micropoetry #Writing #Kindness

“Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean there isn’t an invisible demon about to eat your face.” Your daily fiction #writing prompt from Prompt Inspiration: www.promptinspiration.com/2025/10/scif...

Serial fiction writers. How do you handle the editing process when you publish one chapter at a time? Do you have the book completed before you publish, so its already edited? Or do you edit as you go? And if you edit as you go, what does that look like? #serialfiction

A friend of mine just passed away... in lieu of flowers or other material gestures, he simply wanted anyone wishing to offer something in his memory to "perform some act of kindness that they might otherwise not have." A powerful legacy, especially today. Take care, #writingcommunity #amquerying

I would have to agree

I'm looking for recommendations for a 2026 planner for indie authors. What does everybody use? #writing #indieauthor #fantasywriter

Does anyone have any spectacular recommendations for a good planner for authors for 2026? #writingcommunity
