TJ Edwards

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been back on here… Threads was nice for a time, but how quickly they decided it too should be like Twitter, where I deleted my account.

I hope this site takes off, but don’t forget, the guy who originally created Twitter came up with this!

I 100% agree.

At no time in history were those banning or burning books the good guys.

Thanks for that! Every signature matters! 🥰

I would likewise. I’ve already threatened to go into politics once, and I own a secondhand bookshop and write novels outside of that.

If I give up those for politics, I’m going to be one hell of a squeaky wheel. 😡 I’m sick of divisive politics.

Thanks for sharing, though I wish we didn’t have to! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Good to know, and thanks Elise! When I saw these things happening in the US, I guffawed. “Not in the colonies!” I told myself… but alas, here we are. If it was my local council, I’d nearly be frothing at the mouth with rage 😵‍💫 it’s still too close for comfort.

Call on Cumberland Council Protect rainbow families in Western Sydney and reverse Cumberland Council's book ban!

I know I’ve been quiet on here, but I’m hoping people will help. This link is to help overturn a local council banning books here in Australia. I won’t see that kind of censorship happen here. Please share where you can, copy and paste the link if you like. equalityaustralia.org.au/our-work/are...

Decided to pop back here now that the floodgates have opened to see what the app is actually like now.

That and my Threads feed is one post, then dozens of scantily clad women advertising their onlyfans in the comments.

Twitter is a dumpster fire, swirling the drain of its own mediocrity.

A thank you, your story has been submitted screenshot.

It’s 1:27 AM, I’ve just finished my #FuriousFiction submission and after writing a second entry, decided to go back and rewrite the first one. If I get showcased, I’ll post the first draft of it, so folks can see how far this story came. Editing is alchemy! Lead to gold! 😅

‘Tis the season! The xmas hat is back and I’m celebrating owning my own small second hand book shop for a whole year! #winning

Got my first oral storytelling 1⭐️ review, live too.

After explaining away the seagull poo on our car with a whimsical story of a baby pterodactyl who couldn’t hold until he got home, my two year old immediately said: “That was a no good story, Daddy. Never tell it again.” 😭

#NaNoWriMo progress is coming along! 20% in 5 days is happy progress!

#NaNoWriMo is on track thus far and today is excellent!

I wanted to get to 5k, but my brain devolved into a potato around 11:30 pm so I’ll settle with 4166 words after two days of #NaNoWriMo!

Also, I have to avoid the temptation to work on it at work. I have enough work to do there… but also… 🤔

IT BEGINS. #NaNoWriMo

That photo makes me feel guilty 😵‍💫

Excellent work here! 🎉

Orbit Live: How to write your first science fiction or fantasy novel!

Over on hellsite, Orbit posted the below! If you’re keen on some writing classes, here’s the link! bit.ly/464mm9B

Nice! Looking forward to it! Just a few other key members we need to get across before Elon starts trying to blackmail everyone into paying.

Good on you! I’m just enjoying a distinct lack of American Politics! Nothing but writers, oh what bliss! 🥰

Yeah, this was the main reason I tossed out the public service announcement! I want people to start using #AusWrites and also wanted to find all the folks I’ve come to know from Twitter!

Okay folks, it looks like the #AusWrites hashtag already works (can be searched) so if we can all start using this tag, hopefully we will all reconnect here!

Feel free to share this as I’m looking for all my Twitter friends who have made it here!

As more and more of the #AusWrites crowd come across and hashtags are coming, I’m just getting in early! Folks, it’s so good to get away from that hellsite.

Well, that was unexpected. The short story I just wrote for a competition decided it wanted to be told in second person POV. It feels right, but also oh so wrong.

Not sure if I should torture my writing group with it… after all they think I should be editing, which is fair. 😬

I have a few days until my fellowship application needs to be in and I’m crippled by self doubt.

I have read and reread my letter, synopsis, and first 10 pages that many times I’m going crazy. Tonight I stared at the screen and played with words.

I’m going to sleep on it. 😓

I’ve been rethinking my 1, 2, 5, 10 year goals. Best one for each year:
1 - Finish this rewrite on The Magician’s Curse
2 - Finally Find a Publisher
5 - See the end of this Trilogy Published
10 - Be welcomed to an author panel with @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com anywhere in the world.
Dream big! 🤞

Finally made it here! If you’re looking for me across any of my other socials, I have the username @thetjedwards everywhere!
