As of just a few moments ago, I am one month ahead on my FREE #LitRPG! A chapter a week until it gets long enough to publish. It is an isekai/portal fantasy about a man getting sucked to the dustbin of the multiverse and learning he is a mage. patreon.com/JayWFarley #WritingCommunity #Booksky

As write who cares deeply about using language in an artistic fashion, the semantic differences between a double bacon cheeseburger and a bacon double cheeseburger are FASCINATING.

I'm so sick of effect vs affect let's just start using aeffect.

CTRL-F "effect" to double check each one. Same for "breath" and "breathe" for my sci-fi work #WritingCommunity #BookSky

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

How the Far-Right Weaponized the Masculinity Crisis Why would Andrew Tate tweet something like this? Tate is mostly—almost exclusively—known for his misogyny. But the mistake that people make, to the extent that they can stomach knowing anything about...

I've written about the evolving nature of the far right's hatred of women. Happy holidays!

I've gotten some new followers recently so here is an introductory post! My wife writes under the name Brandy Ayers, and we both compete to turn the other into a house spouse with our writing. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

A five star amazon review that reads The Night Between Stars by Jay W. Farley… where do I even begin? Science fiction meets fantasy in this EPIC tale that brings the reader face-to-face with the unforgettable vampire wizard named Stephen Halder. The book starts with action-packed sequences and continues with an extraordinary pace. It is very well-written and leaves you wanting more. It was extremely difficult to put down and left you wondering what will happen next. The catch is that when you think something is going to happen, it doesn’t, in fact, quite the opposite. The plot twists it throws at you are insane. The fight scenes are well placed, descriptive, and exciting. The allies he acquires in his journeys are relatable, likable, and lovable. The sentient spaceship, Mina, adds a charming allure to the sci-fi world. The pirate captain brings forth a discipline that may have been long lost to our vampiric protagonist. The apprentice he obtains has his own mystical presence that surprises Stephen himself. This book is a 5/5 — highly recommend. It leaves you on a cliffhanger, but thankfully The Light Beyond Shadows is already published and available, and I can’t wait to read it!

I don't usually check my reviews, but I am glad I did today! This new one hit hard after my shitty work week away from my family. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Self-published books are amazing.

Their quality, value, and diversity are excellent.

To claim otherwise is a skill issue.

"SETTRA DOES NOT SERVE! SETTRA RULES!" is 2nd best moment in Warhammer history, following only the moment Settra defies the chaos gods themselves.

Uhm, yeah, that one was on purpose! As a joke!

Someone reached out to show me where autocorrect changed the character Evadne's name to Evade in my paperback. #writingcommunity #booksky

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Writer: *Sits down at computer to write* Brain: Nah. I'm tired. Writer: *goes to bed* Brain: Here's an outline of the next five sequels to your story.

This is what it is like trying to write while traveling for your main job. #writingcommunity

We have always been at war with Christmasia.

Every time I am in Atlanta for work, I pass signs telling me how to get to Beaver Ruin Road. And I wonder. How did it get that name? What is the story? How ruined was that beaver, to make us talk about it to this day?

John Scalzi is doing his yearly Indie Author Promotion Event on his blog! If you want to look for more independent and non-traditional authors, this is a good place to check out! Please share it far and wide! I'm already in there, and you should be too! #WritingCommunity #BookSky

I didn't achieve all I wanted to during my NaNoWriMo replacement month, but I'm happy with what I have. #writingcommunity #booksky

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

The hardest part of being an indie author is advertising. My book is about vampire wizards fighting space capitalism, what more do you want??? #writingcommunity #booksky

One night in Arda makes a Dark Lord humble
When you're out there killing the two trees
One night in Arda and the mountains crumble
A giant spider brings you to your knees

In a touching tribute to his hometown, Pope Leo XIV declared that watching The Blues Brothers makes you "legally Catholic."

I proudly fight The War On Christmas because Elf on the Shelf is like 10 years old but people act like it is an old tradition. Its creepy, wrong, and 100% responsible for the growing acceptance of a militarized surveillance state.

There is no hope Action Creates hope We're doomed Doomed to hope That doesn't make any sense Too bad

I've said it before, but the emotional core of all my writing is hope for a better world. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

I'm dressed like this and 3 people at Home Depot have stopped me and asked if I worked there.

Vampires really did win the supernatural species culture war. Werewolves put up a cute fight in the 2010s, witches try their best every year, but vampires are sexy and relevant almost every year. The Beyonce of gothic media truly

I had fun writing a "sexy vampire" who is such a wife guy that he complete misses it when anyone flirts with him. #WritingCommunity #booksky #Vampire

It's odd how much people get into Savatage this time of year. You know you can listen to power metal whenever you want, even if they're not currently called Trans-Siberian Orchestra at the moment, right?

And then the wizards start fighting robots on the outside of a space ship! Also there are vampires who are sometimes wizards! #WritingCommunity #SciFi #Fantasy

I just plugged my save into the community map and I have over 81 km of belts now haha. I've got to get those numbers up, I'm still missing some nodes I can expand to now.

I'm in endgame and I still love using belts for everything. Let them stretch across the world, I'm patient. The stuff will get there eventually.

Hope. Your enemies are in power, so entrenched that the people they rule think it is the most natural thing in the world. Your friends are scattered and broken. But you can stand up and fight back. You can draw your sword, point it at the enemy, and charge. Hope is what carries the story forward.
