Superb self-pub reads from the last month’s dent into the TBR. A good reminder to keep supporting self published authors.

I loved Harbinger of Justice, and if possible even more Silence is Silver. I am sure @thefoolstale.bsky.social has outdone himself with The Black Mantle. I will dive into it without a second thought.
Thank you Andrew, from the bottom of my heart.

Your writing process will change on a daily basis with every project, because every project is different. Whatever gets you to the final product is the way that that book needed to be written.

So I need you to stop scrolling and say this aloud right now.

"My writing process is not broken."
