Amelia Rose this novella is too long...

Me: I don't like Rob Zombie's horror movies. I don't know why, they just don't hit...
Horrortok influencer: 31 is the shit!
Me: well, I trust you, so maybe I'm the problem.... *Hits play*

30 minutes later: 😐

Just some beginner's tips to my series The Fallen Favorites, where vampires aren't allergic to the sun, witches can be good and nefarious, demons abduct and hurt humans.

If you like vamps, rockstar vibes, violence, and heart, you'll like my series!

hey there Blueski...I've been MIA since January and have forgotten AGAIN how this place works....

so allow me to crashland into this space for the night.

what's up? any tips?

also, I write books...

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate.

(They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase).

1) Go to your account page
2) Hit cancel
3) Change sub back.

The amount of gaslighting that’s going to occur over the next few weeks in an effort to convince you that we aren’t seeing the rise of fascism and white supremacy will be considerable.

Be gentle with yourself. Stand firm. Don’t allow others to make you question what you know to be true.

MS 'Hey friend, how about you pay more for this thing you don't want? Cool right? I know, I'll just do it for you.'

'No.'

MS 'Oh, wow. Rude.'

Imma give it a bit...I'm also hearing that it's giving out violations like candy. It is not the app it once was and it's only been 1 day... 👀

Find me on substack and Tome (when it launches), I guess...

Not suffering yet...

Someone compared it to Pet Cemetery...things that come back from the dead come back...altered.

and I can't stop thinking about it like that... 😬

The Dark Side of Super is a collection of interconnected stories woven as a novella. Part heist, part thriller, all existential dread, come find out the cost of being super.

Whether that's mental, physical, emotional, or otherwise, power never comes free.

I knew I liked you!!

Not the same...

I don't WANT to watch the inauguration tomorrow, and I really really shouldn't.

But someone on TikTok has me semi-hopeful that SOMETHING will go down tomorrow, and I would hate myself if I wasn't watching when it happened....

The rotavirus is going through my family. My mom got it today. I was at her house on Friday.

I honestly can't tell if my stomach feels unsettled because of the incoming flu, or because of what's happened in this country the last 24 hours...

(also, holy typo, Amelia...."As An Author!")

I'm in a bookstore, alAS AN AUTHOR!!

Wooooooooo!!!

Here's to the 4th Monday in 2 weeks...

I'm so sick of Mondays...

My books usually are right around 85k. This one was intended as a novella, but ended up at 70k...🫣

Yaasss! Keep going! What's your timeframe for finishing??

Yaaassss!!! Do it!!!

How I'm ending 2024:

And here's to 2025...

I hope to:
Design the cover for book 1.5 in January.
Publish book 1.5 & book 4...
Attend at least 1 book signing (scheduled for 1/18)
Speak on 2 podcasts
Curb the drinking habit.
Drop 1 pants size

Ahem....I finished writing another book today...Numero 9
#writing #booksky

It varies based on vibes. But somehow the Evita movie soundtrack always breaks me out of a block...

Okay, I think with this book 1.5, I'm abandoning hope that it will be smol. Imma shave it down as much as I can, as I usually do, but I'll probably just put an author's note in the front saying:

"Look. This would have been a short book. But Felkyn demanded more chapters than he had in book 1..."

My company's MS Teams does this aggravating thing where I have to tell it 3-4 times that YES, I DO, in fact, want to close it so I can power down and GO HOME!

And if that ain't corporate America, I don't know what is....

So...I realized some things about myself tonight...

I am a boring-ass person, and succeed in being an enigma at work...but my family totally gets me.

I got TWO vanilla cupcake candles, bowls I've been SEARCHING for and THIS horror mug!!!

I am loved, I am heard, I am endearingly tolerated. 😅

So I have an aunt...she was thrown from a car because she wasn't wearing a seatbelt. This was in 1998.

She had a heart attack yesterday. Her organs are failing. They're pulling the plug tomorrow, Christmas day.

I have some weird thoughts and feelings tonight...

Thank God I didn't say aloud that i'd have this book finished by Christmas, because I have hit a block...

I learned years ago not to force it when I hit a block, but damn it, I'm so close!!!
