If you're looking to read more Canadian authors, there's a bundle for that! (:

Some of us are increasingly keen to do that with Pine Gap. (I suspect we'll have to seize it as compensation anyway, when the submarines we've already started paying for don't materialise.)

Whatever works structurally. Cheers! Its off to a good start by page count and a few pesky typos have been picked up.

This is true of so many places right now.

I love working on 2nd books in a series. There's no need introduce a new world, or show who an unknown MC is. You just write a fun re-intro to the main characters scene, then send them to confront monsters attacking a town for reasons above their pay grade.

Could be decent habitat for fish 🤔

Ouch.

Thanks for the reminder! (I missed the deadline last year 🙃)

Holy crap. My ADHD meds are like $30 a month (if I took them daily, which I don't tend to.)

Excellent, a petition against the malignant mango Mussolini tower proposed for Queensland! #auspol

Interesting that Iran is another oil producing country.

An easy way to stop encouraging this is to buy an EV next time you replace your car. They also cut local air pollution and are a dream to drive. Used ones in the UK start at £3k/€3.5k.

Fingers crossed March is productive for us both!

😬 & 🤮

But also, I feel like 'please' is becoming rare in speech between adults these days, at least in the part of Australia I live in. The 'please' tends to be in the tone and eyes. Its 'thank yous' I hear a far lot more of.

No, but there was a table selling candles in the fantasy section of the bookfair I tabled at last weekend and they were quite happy with their sales.

Yeah its too soon! Though good motivation to start the editing I'd hoped to do in Feb 😅

Elise Carlson, Fantasy Author Elise is a restless adventurer and passionate educator, with an endless list of 'what if?' questions to explore in epic fantasy and SciFi-Fantasy. They write neurodiverse, queer-led adventures for tho...

Thanks for letting me know! This one should be ok.

Ah yes, intros, after I did an out of context, in character post that may or may not make sense (more fun that way 😉).

Hi #LatenightWrite! Chronically ill author trying emerge from fatigue to edit book 2 of my SciFi-Fantasy, Sythe Series here. Though I won't name the character I just posted as...

Having set up an illegal monster smuggling network that almighty Sythe dare not disrupt, I did wonder what it would be like to oppose Sythe directly. And my new business partner had just such a use for my brilliance and daring. An operation to undertake within Sythe, & against a city

If you’re bored giving ChatGPT a one star rating in the App Store doesn’t take long!

Yeah, publishers choosing to feed their author's books to gen ai, when I see no data disclosures about whether the books are training gen ai, and Booksellers being the ones who initiated this, is still major ick.

Oh FFS. Deleting my repost now 🙃

My lovelies, if you sell things (books, art, quilts, ect) include a link in posts where you share your work so people can buy your work.

I know the world is grim right now. Art it a light in the dark. Shine brightly.

The line in my head now is from LOTR; "But there were some; who resisted."
Tolkien gave us so much. And Helms Deep influenced a scene in my own Manipulator's War. Its an odd contradiction, having battle tactics influenced by Alexander the Great, & the book being anti-war. But there you are.

Itch.io War March Bundle. 9 Stories of battle and conflict. Only $9 February 28th-April 1st. 9 book covers: Durga, Crimson Knight, War of the Space Dragons, Just Press Play, Jarek, Manipulator's War, Batte of Tibberphal, Song of the Wolf, The Eflae Champoion.

Its a WILD time for this bundle. But now feels the hour for stories of people taking a stand, risking all for everyone & thing they love. To read of those who fought back -with magic, arms or tech. To be empowered by fiction, and characters who give their all.
