I don't get political here often. Mostly for my own sanity. But @katmabu.bsky.social is 100% right here. I've you've never participated in a parliamentary body, you don't really understand just how easy it is for one member to grind EVERYTHING to a halt. www.youtube.com/shorts/6P5l_...

Imagine buying a fucking yacht when you could have this. www.youtube.com/shorts/C_bES...

Unpopular opinion, I know, but if its your first book, maybe don't write cozy or slice-of-life. 🧵, I guess. #booksky #indieauthor

Why am I in a bad mood? Oh yeah, I had to drive today.

One of the coolest things about being an author is making friends with other authors then getting to read my friends' books. #indieauthor #booksky

Rise 2 hit 50% today. May release (possibly late April, but don't hold me to that) is looking increasingly likely for this series. RR first, then (I hope) a proper release later this year. #indieauthor #litrpg #booksky

Dungeon Crawler Carl is peak anti-capitalist fiction. #booksky #litrpg

Man, the techbros really have ruined everything.

The AI/ChatGPT voice is really fucking distinct. And it's kind of hilarious that people who use LLMs to pretend to write aren't familiar enough with the craft to realize that. Nor will they ever be.

look. i get why everyone gushes about Time. its a goddamn masterpiece. but let's not forget The Forest Seasons. #metal #wintersun

Age verification? I remember USING 3.5" floppies. And 5.25" floppies.

finally

Feels like I'm getting back into the groove. Rise will unfortunately launch a bit later than intended, but at least things are moving again. #booksky #indieauthor

Maybe this is just hella misaligned with my sense of humor (happens more than you think) but... The whole "I know I'm a real writer because I hate writing" shtick really gets under my skin. I fucking love writing. I do it all the time, and I get angy when I can't. #booksky #indieauthor

🍷 These last couple weeks have been rough for SO MANY REASONS 🧀But I'm back to work, and if I squint, I can tell myself I'll make my deadline. #booksky #indieauthor

IKYK

Tonight I vibe with some old school triphop (Thievery Corporation atm) and a book. Hit me up with some of your best downtempo beats so I can jack 'em for my playlist.

True facts

maybe a bit of a weird flex, but... for a bit now, my ads have been profitable when accounting for readthrough across the entire series. but now i'm closing in on the holy grail of book 1 profitability. makes me feel like i actually kinda know what i'm doing here. #indieauthor

Made up yesterday's word deficit. Monday marks the start of my first full week drafting Rise B2. B1 betas left some good notes. Shouldn't be too hard to implement the changes, and it'll really punch up the opening chapters. #indieauthor #litrpg #booksky

Sigh. Spread the word.

Watching the Cradle animatic. This series is so peak. Its the reason I'm still writing, tbh. Reading Cradle was like being given permission to write the stories I'd always wanted. Legend of Ascension (and by extension, my career) exists because of Cradle. This deserves to be made.

The deathmarch has begun. #indieauthor #booksky

So I was looking in my pantry (don't ask why, I don't know) and saw that I have 5 boxes of pancake mix. Why do I have them? I don't know. When did I buy them? No idea, either. Now I can't stop thinking about it. A snapshot of my existence. #ADHD

For a year now, we've been saying "do something." This very much qualifies.

Should get started on drafting Rise later this week. Also putting out feelers for audio on Legend. More news to come, but I'm going hard those year. #indieauthor #booksky #litrpg

I offer you a #caturday pic in these trying times

"Mamdani has been in office almost an entire day yet poverty still exists - Is this the final nail in the democratic socialist experiment? We asked several billionaires and landlords their thoughts." - New York Times

I'm hungry, and therefore choosing violence. "Show don't tell" is the single most harmful piece of advice given to new writers. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk #booksky #indieauthor

I'll take it.

2026 Goals: 1. Finish books 2-5 of Rise 2. Launch on Royal Road (looking at March) 3. Launch on Amazon (Q3 or 4. Not sure yet.) 4. MAYBE start work on a 2nd project (we'll see) #indieauthor #litrpg #booksky

i feel that if i dream about going grocery shopping, i should wake up to a refrigerator full of food

Beta feedback is starting to trickle in. Rise is, as I thought, fire AF.

For those who need to hear it - you can just make stuff happen. There are no rules. Make it cool now, make it make sense later. That's what editing is for, anyway. Follow me for more tips. #indieauthor #booksky

Just as a reminder, the first book of Legend of Ascension, the Shrouded Peaks, is still half off for a few more days! #xianxia #progfan #booksky

Omg why is it so hard to find whole bean coffee in a regular grocery store

Got lost looking for something, and I found some memories instead. Holy shit, it's a goddamn miracle I survived my 20s is all I can say.

A reminder that I write things, a lot actually. Want a high fantasy where the fate of the empire hangs in the line, where life as we know it stands to be erased of these children of the golden peace can't unearth ancient secrets and thwart devils and spirits. www.royalroad.com/fiction/8244...

cover art sketch 😍😍😍 this book is gonna be so dope #booksky

Excellent to see they made the right decision here.

I'm not much of a romance/romantasy reader myself, but I thought this was a delightful book.

Listening to Josh Johnson just drag Steve Bannon for like a 5+ solid mins is just the cherry on top of this gleeful night
