I keep looking around at the world, sighing and just going back to my damn books cause fantasy is way less depressing.

Top recs are:
Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

Empire Of Exiles and Relics of Ruin by @erinmevans.bsky.social

Read. Them.

Hey guys, I get everyone's scared and stressed and worried and shit. But it's really not time to panic yet. Y'all running around like headless chickens. Yes it's scary but there's things that can be done. Stop whining on socials and go get something done! Go volunteer at Food Not Bombs or something!

I've been writing a lot again. I have about 15 different history threads because if I get all of the timelines figured out, I'll be able to write an enormous amount of stories set in this world.

Send help, I need more notebooks and stuff cause I'm doing this @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com style. 😂
November 21, 2024 at 2:36 AM
I'm here. I exist.

Apparently there's more people now?

Be aware, I'm not doing what I did on Twitter and debating. If you don't agree with me about something, that's absolutely fine by me. I don't care or wanna know. I am using here and threads for observations on life and writing things
November 21, 2024 at 2:29 AM
Hey gang, this is really urgent and important to me.
If you're a creator of any kind, or streamer, artist, whatever and wanna come on voice to chat let me know! The more to keep me awake the better

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com I saw this, It made me smile. Figured you might get a kick out of it too.

@erinmevans.bsky.social I think I remember hearing you say on the podcast that you don't use twitter anymore, so... I'll let you know here. I finished the first draft of my novel! I told B Dave and Treavor earlier. Then remembered much later that I don't think you really use it anymore 😂
January 6, 2024 at 2:39 AM
I did it. I finished the first draft of my book. Now to type the bugger.
January 5, 2024 at 9:32 PM
4/5 chapters til the end. Now I gotta actually finish it. I wouldn't have gotten this far without my love of Sir Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, David Eddings, Erin M Evans, Treavor Beatis, B Dave Walters and more besides. And like my heroes before me, I'm going to finish it.
January 5, 2024 at 6:10 PM
I'm maybe 5 chapters off finishing my book. I cannot sleep because I want to write more. My hand is hurting. I'm ok with this.
January 5, 2024 at 7:16 AM
People don't tell @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com that he's a treasure often enough. His practice of writing in a notebook with a fountain pen has gotten me most of the way through this first draft and it's been a week of nonstop writing.

@thetreavor.bsky.social I'm sorry I haven't been back in touch yet! New hyperfocus... long story. Another writing project but not fiction! I'll get back to you once this time limited thing I'm researching and doing is over!

What advice would you all give to a writer struggling with their main mentor character in their project?
September 28, 2023 at 1:06 PM
Halp! @erinmevans.bsky.social @thetreavor.bsky.social @bdavewalters.bsky.social request for advice. I'm writing a mentor character, but for a side character that's a bit closer to the protagonist than usual. Got any advice for this? I want him to be properly fleshed out, but I'm struggling.
September 28, 2023 at 1:15 AM
It's unlikely I'll go into any detail here, but feel free to find me on any socials or platforms I post on if you found me through @whatthetrans.bsky.social

I will always support them and intend to remain friends with the team.
