I write #Fantasy #SciFi and #Horror to enthral #readers’ imaginations. Find my books at http://erikbuchanan.ca. Trying out Bluesky along with all the others to see which works.
Monday, #SkyWriters. Slightly behind but raring to go. The new meds are doing good work, so I'm going to make the most of them.

It would be nice to end a year on a high note.

To the word mines!

ALSO: 70 new followers? Welcome! I write books! You can buy them!

Tuesday, Spouties! The day when we say . . . Fuck, I'm tired.

I want just want to tell stories. Instead?

Israel: fuck off out of Palestine.
America: fix your shit.
Russia: fuck off out of Ukraine.
Canada: conservatives lie. Don't listen.

Also, buy my books. I need the money.

TW: Suicide

Saw this shared by Vellum and Vinyl on Facebook. I wanted to share it too, because with all that's happening, folks are struggling.

Here's the book link: qprinstitute.com/pdfs/Forever...

Wednesday! The day where we say . . . Did we forget to say: Tuesday?

Going on a trip Thursday, so will be gone for a bit. Meanwhile here's a lovely pride piece I stole from author Christian G. Cameron:

Thursday, #SkyWriters.

Does anyone else find Thursdays difficult? Like, on an existential level? Because all this...

*waves arm at world*

...seems so much harder on Thursdays.

Here, have a motivation bunny. It helps.

Extreme depression is so awful. When I'm in the worst of it, I can barely move. I hope it backs off soon.

We have this stuck on our fridge for the bad days. You probably know these but if not, here. I hope it helps.

It is my BIRTHDAY, #SkyWriters! And you know what would make me happiest?

If folks signed up for Erik's Irregular Newsletter.

I love sharing books, and everyone signing up gets a free ebook of my fantasy/murder mystery, "The Trials of Abyowith."

Friday! It's #coffeeshopday! I get to spend all morning in my favourite coffee shop, planning evil.

...Writing. I meant writing. I'm sure there's a difference.

Also, I have the new cover for A Wire Noose! And it is awesome! Look!

Busy Monday, #SkyWriters. Doctor appointment, words to write and a new comms contract (yay, money!). Also, it is raining and all the snow is gone and now I has a sad 🥺.

Also, my new book was telling me how much it likes you, so you should get a copy.

Speaking of better, I have a new book out!

(Not my best transition but what can you do?)

Look, pretty cover! You should buy it!

Monday, #SkyWriters, and the question on everyone's mind is, "Where can I buy Erik's new book, "A Killing Sting?""

(I know it isn't really but play along. I need groceries )

The answer is, right here:

Thursday, and I am floating between migraine and functionality.

So now would be an excellent time for you to order my new book!

Think of it as a pre-Christmas present to yourself.

Today my manuscript must be formatted and uploaded across all platforms. If anyone wants me I'll be quietly weeping on my keyboard.

Or celebrating with a workout, if this gets done on time.

Wish me luck!

Couldn't fall asleep, nightmares when I did, woke up to a migraine. Three more chapters to edit.

How's your day going, #Skywriters?

P.S.: Look. Pretty book cover. You should pre-order it.

Monday, #Skywriters, and I've had to move the launch of "A Killing Sting" back to Dec. 7. Annoying but unavoidable.
.
On the bright side, there's more time for my wonderful peeps here to pre-order the book, which would be AWESOME!

Check it out at erikbuchanan.ca.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
