Great chapter!
01.02.2025 00:11 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The 2025 Open Novella contest begins Feb 1st. You choose one of their prompts to write your novella around. You get 12 weeks to write at least 20k words (40k max). This will be my 5th year participating. There’s usually 700-800 participants (my sister won last year 🏆). It’s really fun!

I asked my brain for story ideas last night. It gave me insomnia and an existential crisis instead.

02.01.2025 15:03 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My writing process:
Step 1: Write the thing.
Step 2: Read it back and cringe.
Step 3: Set it on fire (metaphorically).

Fantasy readers are like, “This world is cruel, bleak, and full of suffering. 5 stars. When’s the sequel?”
(I’m fantasy readers)
Found a plot hole today. Fixed it by pretending it’s foreshadowing. Editing is a skill, folks.

Tbh I just get super excited when other bookish people can relate to me. I’m like, did we just become friends??? 😂
To published indie authors, why are your books not in your links? Some of you just link to another social media account while others don’t have any links at all 😰 Some bios say “Search for my book on Amazon”.
Yes, this is a genuine question.
@michaelkfalciani.bsky.social thank you for the follow! 🤩

Writing my own book: Why is 500 words so much??
Wrote 1,000 words today. They were all bad, but I’m choosing to call it character development—for me.
05.12.2024 20:51 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I told myself I’d write today. Instead, I rearranged my bookshelf. This counts as productivity, right?
04.12.2024 21:28 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Today I wanted a coffee for lunch.
Instead I ate real food and had a V8.
You can clap now.

Anyway, happy turkey day to those who celebrate, but especially those who harbor a deep sense of disappointment that they'll never be able to attend a massive feast like appears in pretty much every Redwall book.
