Sent some more queries today and it feels good! Trying to stay productive and optimistic but sometimes the disappointment catches up to me. I thought I was going to be hitting shelves about now. But, such is life! We march on. #amquerying #writingcommunity #querytrenches

Well, this is not a post I planned on writing. But life is funny that way- sometimes it doesn’t stick to the plan.
I got a bit of bad news last night. Unfortunately, the indie press that picked up my debut fantasy is closing. That means Spellbound isn’t coming out this year.
Just getting absolutely bodied by anxiety today.

The rule is that if my mutual posts about their niche hobby that I know nothing about, I must like the post to let them know I encourage the enrichment that’s been put in their enclosure

16.01.2026 19:20 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0writing fantasy books is so cool. Has to be my favourite form of escapism, because I can write about fascists paying for their crimes without appeasing fence-sitters through fruitless incrementalism along the way

easy to feel demoralised seeing all these game company CEOs talking about genAI but remember a bunch of rich people will lose a lot if we don’t suddenly develop an unquenchable appetite for slop so they’re actually the ones on the back foot and have every incentive to lie about everything
