Excited to finally get the last of the original windows of our house replaced this week. Hoping weather will cooperate. Also hoping my back doesn't give out as we move everything away from the windows.

I know people don't think about fantasy novels as social works but they are Look at how they have changed Look at who hates these changes Look at who refuses to see fantasy novels for more than childish escape

2 Episodes into Bridgerton Season 4. So far, it's reminding me how much I love the Cinderella tropes. (Getting huge Ever After vibes!)

This month in my Book Club we are reading Misery by Stephen King, and wow, a captivating start and already so deeply disturbing. Haven't read a lot of King's works, but so glad to finally mark this off my list this month. 📚💙

Gen Z are choosing to watch anime way more than they are Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel. The statistics prove it, but...why? What does anime have that Disney, the MCU, and the recent Star Wars sequel trilogy don't?

Reminder that before I started writing novels I didn't study writing at university, attended no workshops/conferences, knew absolutely no one in science fiction publishing circles, and didn't start going to conventions until after I got a contract for my novel. What I *did* do: Write. A lot.

FYI the ebook of Old Man's War is going for $1.99 here in US/Canada at (most) ebook stores, for, I think, today. Get it! Cheap! And then buy all the rest of the series including the upcoming seventh installment, The Shattering Peace! The cats need tuna!

Superman is one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. He represents Truth, Justice, and the American Way...right? Well, over the last few years, it seems that fewer and fewer stories want to promote Superman as a representative of the American Way.

Thinking about going back to a first draft I wrote about teenage ghost hunters. Original idea/draft needs massive overhauls... I don't think teens upload to YouTube anymore. Also, any recent YA ghost hunting books out there?

I have 3 chapters left to write in this book. I'm at the climax scene... and I don't feel like writing it. I'm not sure if it's just the gloomy weather affecting me, or the fact my notes only has "big battle scene goes here".
