Folks, take your mental health day if your work allows it. You don’t need to be falling a part at the seams, either. Listen to your body and do what you need to recenter.

Pre-Orders for the Blades for Hire Anthology, a self-published collection of short stories surrounding the theme of mercenaries and sellswords, is finally available!

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

Good morning from me and my mug, Nick the Opossum, during our first post #tiktokban morning (😭)Today is a plotting day!

“How can the government ban Tiktok? It’s a violation of the First Amendment!”

They don’t care about our constitutional rights.

Not me getting weirdly emotional about the #tiktokban, mostly for the amazing #authors and #writers who now must start from scratch or work hard to gain traction once again 😭

I’ve found getting out of the house to write, edit, or plot is a game changer for my productivity. For example, I plan on headed to a coffee shop to plot this weekend until I have some chapters fully fleshed out.
Where do you do your best work?

There is still time to vote for OF SILVER AND SIN in the Nugget's Hidden Gem Indie Author Awards! Voting ends 1/17.

Lots of debate recently about Grammarly & writing. I use the free version with the suggestions toggled off bc it catches more incorrect punctuation & spelling than Scrivener does, but others think it’s completely wrong (despite every app using AI).
What are your thoughts? #writer #writing #author

What gets you interested in a WIP author or novel? Is it cool edits, Pinterest boards, art, snippets of writing?

I’m definitely going to mourn #tiktok, especially the great community I had on there. But I’m also excited to not have such a time-sucker on my phone. I am, unfortunately, addicted 😅

Today, I go antiquing. Tomorrow, I start heavily plotting the rest of my dark fantasy. How do you plan a novel--are you a heavy plotter, or do you fly by the seat of your author pants?
