Just when my novel is getting traction from US readers on TikTok is when the app is getting banned on January 😔 TikTok is such a great tool to reach a target audience and I’m sad that this is happening. Oh well.

The CEO of UHC was unalived on his way to a meeting. The meeting still proceeded without him. Lesson? You’re dispensible. File that leave. Steal corporate time. Work smart.

So, the word of the year is “demure,” but what’s super weird to me is why native English speakers find the word unfamiliar. Even Grammarly thinks so too.

People often ask me if I reread my books after they come out.
1. No. Never. Ew, David, ew. No.
2. I have no interest in reading my writing unless I'm writing/editing it. There is so much else to read.
3. I read the thing so many goddamned times while writing and revising. So many. YET STILL I ERR

(Finally) escaping twitter reminds me of this mystic I once read who said that the gates of hell are always open for those who are ready to leave.

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

When a writer says they've outlined their story, what they really mean is they've envisioned 3-4 cool scenes they now need to somehow tie together into a plot

Had an anxiety over marketing my book last night, but my brain is rewired to be solution-focused, so I feel better now.
And an 8-hour sleep helped a lot 😅

“I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.”
This was probably my most viral tweet. I've seen it pop up in a lot of quote aggregators, sometimes attributed to a wonderful but definitely not-me filmmaker.

Being an indie author is incredibly stressful! 😩 Tonight, I thought I’d made another mistake by uploading the wrong file on Amazon KDP. I spent an hour double-checking everything before realizing I had actually uploaded the correct one. I finally breathed easy—but not before a bout of sheer panic 🫨
