“There are demons within us all that we must face. They only ever surface when we are at our lowest because they are not strong enough to challenge us at our highest.”

The ODAL @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social goes on sale in early March. I’m in love with the cover by Nemo Art 🧡

Here. We. Go.

I've found some amazing friends in the book community in the last 4 years, and @zackargyle.com is one of them. What a lovely gift for little Ella 💜

Oh this fucking rocks

I mean, come March I'll have written and published 1.5 million words in 4 years... I don't think I can really increase that pace 😅

With her sword hand in full grip, little baby Ella Cahill arrived into the world to start her journey on the 10th of January.

Our world could not be fuller, and we could not be more in love. No cuter way for our lives to change ❤️

Both baby and mam are doing great!

I revealed this Tarot Card as part of my yearly wrap up, but I never did an actual reveal on socials!

Behold The Fool – Dann Pimm 🏹

The man, the myth, the legend.

With Of Empires and Dust finished, that makes 1.5 million words – 4 novels, 3 novellas, 2 short stories – written across 3.5 years.

I've only been writing for 3.5 years and that blows my mind because it's my whole life now. 4 years ago I was working in a lab 🤷🏻‍♂️

And Book Four is done.

I full on cried.

👀

I don't think that's how my brain works 😅 it will be 1.4 million published words in a few months and that inner critic always jumps up. I figure it as part of the process 🤷🏻‍♂️

The craft of writing is a fickle thing.

Some days I think 'damn, this is the best work I've ever produced '.

Other days I think 'what if everyone hates this book and it derails my career'.

It's an emotional rollercoaster 😅

There are a few things riiiiight at the end that have slowed down production and we want to make sure everything is in place before we put it up for sale 🙌

Oh, I wasn't actually asking! that was meant to be someone asking the Tau battlesuit pilot... Really should have made that clear 😅

Of course – thank *you*! Tau are a perfect choice for this as well.

Are you a man or a women?

I am Fire Caste 🤷🏻‍♂️

The purples and yellows on that battlesuit are so fucking clean. Gorgeous work 💜

Sorry WHAT?

That's really fucking cool.

Just wanted to wish you all a happy December from the Christmas Wolfpine. Wherever you are in the world, I hope it's a happy time 💜

With a bit of luck and a lot of work, I'll have Of Empires and Dust finished very soon... Then I might sleep.

You're all the best.

It's so nice to see these ARCs going out for a book released back in 2021. The people of BlueSky never saw 'ARCgate' on twitter, but it's lovely to have these ARCs going to passionate the readers 🧡

There's no shame. We all move at our own pace. There are quite a few people I know who laugh at my wordcounts 😅

Hey, man. 6k words a week will get you 60k words in 2.5 months, and a full novel in 5 months. That's nothing to be sniffed at!

Sorry for the maths mansplain, but I think sometimes we need to be clearly told how great we're doing!

Oh I've had some 10k word months, believe you me. Everyone at their own pace ❤️

KRYSTLE! I feel like I've not seen your face in 27 years!

51,000 words written in the last 19 days. Maybe another 40,000 to write in the next 9-10.

The grind continues. But the end is in sight.

Am I the only one who had absolutely no problem with the old verification blue tick on twitter long before Elon?

I never needed to know that Joe from Ohio was absolutely Joe from Ohio. But knowing which account was the real Mark Hamill was pretty useful. It also gave me something to shoot for 😅
