Looks like HUNTER SLAYER 2 is getting delayed. Laptop went to shot and now I can’t finish the last bit of editing or send out ARC. Yay 🥺

STOP WRITING TO APPEASE AN AUDIENCE YOU WOULDNT SHARE SPACE WITH IN REAL LIFE!!!

I do want to preface that anyone I work with WILL be compensated. I’m not looking for freebies.

I stand by my “viral” video that the fact that we, as the indie authors, pay for the majority of the self publishing process and all the print by demand companies have to do is print & ship. YET they get the biggest cut of our sale 🙃

If you are a new indie author, this is for you…

Be accepting of failing publicly when it comes to self publishing. Whether that be your first book or your fifth book, be open to the concept that it might take a minute for you to find your stride. Allow your love for storytelling to shine. #booksky

I think I’m gonna spend the next several books just doing one offs or stand alones. Writing a series is fun because you get a chance to expand the characters but sometimes I just wanna finish it and move onto a new story

After I finish the Hunter Slayer series, I’m switching to one and done stories for a while. What I’m stuck on is whether to do another fantasy book or flex my Sci-Fi muscles

You ever get so deep into outlining a character(s) that you realize that you forgot to have a book concept for them to exist in?

Sometimes I wish I had more funds. I would love to do a graphic novel style side story of what happens in between Hunter slayer two and Hunter slayer three.

I’m not saying with all series, but I would like once in a while for some authors to do more Novella side stories of side characters or things that happen in between big events.

I have a concept for a book but I’m struggling bc it involves elements of black trauma. Modern trauma to be specific. I don’t want position my community as suffer and rise, but I do want to highlight misconceptions about black archetypes in a story driven way

Not gonna lie, sometimes I get real jealous of authors who are writing a standalone book while I’m in the middle writing my series.

TikTok but with the constant threat of it being banned, I made a bluesky, threads and Tome

I wasn’t big on social media up until the past year and some change. It gets exhausting when you have to make multiple platforms to reach more people.

After I finish the series, I’ll probably post the books elsewhere. Never used kobo before. I’ll definitely try it

Thank you much!!! Grateful to be considered. Use the link on the profile to get to the book. Amazon is giving me a hard time

I swear!!! My characters are more interesting than me, you should read them

Social media is hard sometimes. Sometimes, I just wanna write a book and give to you.

A stranger in the ether leaves a review, sends a dm or tags me, unprovoked, to recommend my book to others. All of that to return to the point that I’m grateful for the gift of storytelling and of course, a special thanks to the readers who take a chance on us. You’re awesome

L.T. Shaw @ltshawthewriter.bsky.social · Jun 13

I wanna take a moment and be thankful for my love of storytelling. Sometimes it feels like a pointless talent, like I’m spending so much time to write something that maybe a handful of people might read. I would sometimes wish for a different talent but then something happens. #booksky
