Let's play a game #writers.

Keep the story going. Let's see all the places we go together.

"A blaze of orange cracked the horizon as Jackie looked out her window. Last night's storm turned her neighborhood into a war zone."

I also haven’t blogged in two weeks. I think I’m just really in my head about it. Just need to discover why I’m so stressed about it.
Think I’ll try and write one that’s just small and silly, and break the block

No, but where do you get your ideas from?

I have written a cheesy slow burn romance story in space, because the current times call for it: "Three-Year Mission".

OCs, LGBTQ, trans woman protagonist, slow burn, hurt/comfort, spaceship & a cat. Content notes in front of each chapter.

And please take a look at this gorgeous cover art the lovely @mariibyrd made!

Cynthia Dunlop of ScyllaDB fame interviewed our very own @codinghorror about blogging, and there are some gems in there. You should go read it. And then write about it. And other stuff. A lot. No, more than that.

I now have a tip jar! If you think the various bits of free creative writing, game development, blogging, travel writing, music and poetry that I do are worth supporting financially, and you can afford to support them in a small way, then I'd appreciate that.

Boosts also welcome of course :)

One of my major priorities for this year is to publish my books on platforms other than #Amazon (there are some things that are higher priority, but not many).

So what self-publishing platforms exist for

- ebooks
- Print on Demand books

which do _not_ requires exclusive contracts or similar restrictions?

Fang of Triseria: Chapter 8, lands tomorrow. I'll update again when it is available.

We get to meet the mayor of the town that is seemingly surrounded by ghouls.

Besides my weekly blog & bi-weekly poetry...

The targeted edit on Book3 of the Kovenlore Chronicles, Exhuming Truths continues. It’s the prequel to Book1, Trust in the Forgotten (published last November).

It provides more detail, unexpected revelations, & answers questions from Books 1&2. It also serves as the 3rd leg on a 3-legged stool to setup Book4 by posing more questions.

#WordWeavers Jan 31: Is there anything that would warm your antagonist’s heart, and if so, what?

Yes, but, um, the antagonist is Nature, and we really don't need to warm up the Earth's core with another moon-forming impact.

Time for the February #WordWeavers questions!
Written by @AlinaLeonova & I, you’ll find the questions pinned to our profiles on the 1st. All are welcome to join in.

Welcome to the newly relaunched I Like How You Think, where I try to make sense of things that confound me, go on extended rambling walks through my own head, and in all likelihood talk about my dog a lot.

Join me, won't you?

Wrote a blog post about how cozy stories succeed where speculative fiction falls short, and what that means for activism and the literary world.

Yesterday I removed all my novels from Amazon, both paperback and Kindle versions, because I can no longer contribute to Jeff Bezos' riches and corruption. I still sell Kindle versions directly on my web site, but am now looking for a new print-on-demand supplier for my paperbacks. Let me know if you have any suggestions. #amwriting #authors #Amazon

Just trying to write a manual for a functional society, one blog post at a time.

This (last) month's edition is: What to do with your privilege other than sitting around and feeling bad about it.

The current US political situation pushes the divide between privileged and unprivileged even further. It only heightens the need to act.

I need a fainting couch.
