WOOO! Chapter 13 finished 70k words and still a week left to finish the book.

I am killing this November challenge.

#WritingCommunity

The WIP is at 60k and I am going to sleep now.

I am just a boy, standing in front of an industry asking...why won't you let me love you?

#WritingCommunity

The industry hasn't been about publishing good books or writers in over 30 years. Its all about profits profits profits, and the B5 have all but choked out any competition. Now just to exist in that market you have to be a swindling Dbag. Welcome to late stage capitalism.

Local stores: We only carry local authors.

Me: I am local

Local stores: We don't carry self published.

Me: I'm not self published, I have a publisher.

Local store: We only do clean christian books.

Me: Oh go fuck yourself.

All I can remember about that film is the cat food scene and finding out that Jane Fonda developed a habit of eating cat food.

Whoo! I just hit 50617 words on my novel making me half way done, and its been less than two weeks into Nov.
Suck it everyone who is not me, I am the greatest writer to have ever lived.

Now if you excuse me, I haven't slept in over 48 hours and need a nap...

Finished a new short story. 4512 words.

Now to edit.

She picked up my favorite. And no this isn't one of those, "aw she was thinking of you" things. This is more of a "here, eat this and write so it will keep you out of my way while I get stuff together" thing.

The best part about the "Lord Byron quote in Frankenstein" discourse, is that my new novel(comes out September 2026) opens with a quote from Mary Shelly's Frankenstein.

Some friends and I were having a discussion on the Nature of consciousness and now I think I either stumbled up on a paradigm shifting revaluation, or I am having a mental break down.

Ugh only 2343 words today.

The best part is that it was a meatball sub, there was no onions or mustard.

Another day in the ol' salt mine.

Sorry its a little late, but congratulation to the winner of the autographed copy, Tyler, and I just put your copy in the mail.

I am at just over 38K on my WIP. Only on day 2 of Nov, and I am already about to kick the challenge's ass.

The Gf got me some comfort food after a difficult chapter....apparently I am just so stereotypically american.

Ink cartridges are a mother loving scam. Printers in general now are shitty.

I thought it was good. Especially when you realize its all about how the dog sees and experiences the terminal illness of its owner.

There are a number of Greek dog breeds. Like the Cretan Hound, Greek Harehound, Greek Shepherd, Molossus of Epirus, Laconian Hound.

Ok so I got the ARC copy of my short story collection and will be looking for fellow horror authors to read and blurb it.

I am pretty sure this is the same conversation the Bobbitts were having in the car...

Why does it constantly feel like we are living in a universe where someone traveled back in time and stepped on an insect screwing up the time space continuum and keep trying to fix it only making things worse each time?

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. My Constant Literary Obsession without ending

Check out my latest substack.
open.substack.com/pub/johnjeva...

My current literary obsession is "The Occurrence at Owl Creek". If you have not read this short story, or seen the Twilight Zone episode based on it, you really really need to, especially if you are a writer.

I dream of writing an ending like that.

Guess who just finished writing their short story for the Views from the Overlook anthology submission.

Now on to the rewrites, and then to the editors.
