Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Don’t let the sun go down on any submission rejection. Immediately send it out again. A rejection is not a no. It’s a “not here right now”. Also, keeping your work in submission helps maintain your enthusiasm for your writing. #writing

Just submitted my short story, THE CAIRO CURE to the crew at Creepypod.com . Some people will do anything to hold onto fame. When one tragic accident ends an actor’s career, how far will they go to resurrect the limelight?

I assure you, THE CRYPT: VOIDSTRIKE is for sale today at Audible. There's a screw-up with @recordedbooks.bsky.social not being able to post the cover. Instead, an image says "coming soon." Despite people not buying because of this, it still hit No. 7 in SciFi. All links at scottsigler.com/voidstrike
