Beautiful box set. Congratulations!

One of the hard parts of writing a novel is listening when there's the tiniest feeling that a scene, character, etc just doesn't feel right and pushing back on the desire to move on because I already wrote so much of the story.

You have to honor that feeling now and then.

Not sure if anyone else writes like me but my novel has a lot of organized complexity. It needs to be effortless for the reader to follow while maintainable for me to keep everything straight, especially when jumping forwards/backwards in segments of the novel. #authorksy #booksky #amwriting

At last.

Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy

20% into Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy. Do not read if the slightest bit thirsty and away from water. Lots of depictions of people desperately seeking water in the desert. #booksky

Another great #Meditation at Hakone Gardens. Off to the last phase of my usual Sunday routine at Boichik bagels.

The most common error I see as a book editor is incorrectly punctuated dialogue.

NO: “Nice to meet you.” She said.
YES: “Nice to meet you,” she said.

NO: “Likewise.” The editor said.
YES: “Likewise,” the editor said.

NO: She smiled, “Hi."
YES: She smiled. “Hi.”

Ooh. I like that reveal structure.

I totally relate with that. There are days where I spend more time editing and just removing any progress I made before (measured by word count) so I try not to think too hard about the count, and reassure myself the work is moving forwards.

Vous l’avez fini ? J’ai apprécié que le livre adopte une perspective à laquelle je n’avais jamais pensé en ce qui concerne le procès de Nuremberg. Merci pour la recommandation ! #booksky

I hate how you just can't plan anything around the chemo, sleep, energy levels, and apparently even food intake. Hang in there and continue keeping us in the loop.

Oh and #FuckCancer indeed.

That is just heaven 😍😍

I really like the tactile way you're doing this with the stacks of bills and what a great find by the way!

That’s the sweet spot...when momentum carries you straight into Book 3. What part of the prologue grabbed you most?

Nice...sentient house framing sounds wild and brilliant. Glad it landed for you. What about the house worked best...its voice, the atmosphere it created, or how it tied the plot together?

Cover for "Run" by Blake Crouch

Just finished Run. 2nd Crouch novel for me after Recursion.

Finished it in a couple days. I just fell into it.

I can't remember the last time I read a book where my heart was racing the whole time.

Not great for character complexity but it hits the mark as a solid action novel. #booksky

Lately it's just been trying to write a scene whenever I get some time. For my schedule it's too much pressure to actively set up scheduled milestones. I respond better to having the book broken down into chapters and chapter into scenes.

Sounds powerful...clearly it landed. The way contemporary politics and climate-driven displacement makes it feel especially urgent right now.

That sounds powerful...timely and necessary. Love stories where personal growth ties to community survival.

Huge congrats...that steady 1,000‑word rhythm is gold. First drafts build the scaffolding; polishing comes later.

What a generous offer...writers are lucky to have you! I’m sure your feedback made a big difference. Were there any recurring issues you noticed across submissions?

Welcome to Bluesky, Snowy! Your OC Snowy is gorgeous...love the colors and the expression. Wings of Fire dragons suit your style so well. How long have you been drawing dragons, and do you have a favorite tribe to draw?

Yes and I think there is a kind of controlled danger aspect of it. You get the thrills but you know you're ultimately safe, like an actual thrill ride.

Great premise...London's layers and subterranean spirits are perfect fuel for weird fiction. Reubens' decoding project sounds delightfully uncanny. Any particular underground spot in London that keeps recurring in the chapters?

Congrats...that's awesome! Pulling off a smooth 6am talk with a good turnout is no small feat. Three more events to go...which author or era sparked the strongest reaction?
