Writing is easy and writing is hard. Usually that first draft pours out, that’s the fun part. Then comes the revising, the forehead slaps, the imposter syndrome, the hopelessness, the fear. The hard parts never stop. But, sometimes, when you get that one review or email, it all becomes worth it. ✍️🩸

OMG you guys, I just got the BEST review. Someone got BIG MAD that I’m against racism. (Blushes) I’d heard when you’re doing it right, you’ll piss off the bad guys, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon! Next on the bucket list is making someone mad at me for including a queer character. 🔪📚✍️🤠

🧵/4 in a world so full of hate, loneliness, and anger right now, I hope everyone at least has someone who is trying and gets it wrong sometimes, over no one at all. And I hope when I’m 81, my grandkids forgive me when I can’t keep up. Some Boomers are trying, let’s recognize it where we can.

🧵/3 hope that they’ve learned to recognize someone who loves them and sometimes falters, more than they see the mistakes adding up. It’s hard to have grace for people when it feels like the world is against you. It’s also easy to classify boomers as racist/sexist/bigots, but

🧵/2 how fast some of the people in the group were to cut off their relatives if they struggled with pronouns or new names. Now she’s terrified her grandkids won’t forgive her if she messes up, which she will, she’s 81. I said all you can do is try your best and

🧵 Visited my oldest living relative recently, my 81 y/o auntie. She was telling me that since most her friends are dead, she joined a queer ally group because some of her grandchildren. She’s made friends with several people including “just the nicest trans woman” but was shocked to learn

Quick survey, all opinions welcome. I’m working on a short story set with the theme of insects and animals. Would Creatures or Animalia be the better title?

Just updated my Amazon author profile to state that I don’t use AI and all my work was written and edited by a human. This is after finding what I thought was a cool new indie horror writer, only to learn they’ve used AI to put out 22 books. #authorsky #horrorsky

Everybody clap. Someone asked for the title of an obscure short story on Reddit and I knew the answer. Does this mean I have no life? ☠️🙌📚🩸

Got a really nice review of my 2nd paperback. Best news of my week. 📚🩸 www.amazon.com/Reigns-Terro...

Indie author learning of the day: when you copy and paste from one doc to another, MS can and will change the first line indent size by any random amount and not tell you! (Cries in formatting) #indieauthor

How do we get someone to draft a bill that makes it illegal for anyone to sell creative work made with AI?

My 4 year old just came up to me and said “I don’t like this flavor of round candy fruit gummies.” And I was like, “do you mean the grapes?”

I’m reading his book Mary, and wondering why more people aren’t talking about it. Can’t wait to pick this one up next.

Pro tip for other writers: if your neck is aching, time to stretch your chest and armpits. Hunched over a keyboard is a great way to mess up your whole upper body. Trying laying on the floor on your back, arms straight out and snow angel. ✍️ #writersky

I have been noodling on this concept ever since our talk.

Release day! www.amazon.com/Reigns-Terro... The Reigns of Terror: Dystopian 🩸📚🩸 #horrorsky

I was thinking about The One Who Walk Away from Omelas where the utopia came at a major cost some couldn’t live with. When are things so perfect it’s scary?

Recently I’ve been discussing with friends how I’m tired after writing Dystopian Horror, considering the state of the world. One idea that’s come up in response is what would Utopian Horror look like? Any ideas? 🩸📚✍️😱

Ordered about 50 copies of my paperbacks to sell at table events this year. Got them and immediately noticed a typo in my manuscript. My fault, not the printers. 😭 Please send help, I’d like to blame anything other than myself. 🩸✍️📚

Is there an official name for when you submit a manuscript and then immediately find a typo or error? If not, I’d like to submit to the council calling it Jack’s Law because I swear every single GD time OMFG. 🩸✍️ 🩸 📚

Good flick, not what I expected. Vibe of an old silent movie with plenty of squirming action scenes.

Hi, I’m a real writer who uses em dashes and I will not be bullied by A.I. to stop. Resist the robots!
