So disappointing. Dear Americans, it is called aluminium.

I wrote this about 10 years ago. It is truer of todays society than it has ever been.

#booksky let's start a #WIP thread.

✒️📚

I want to know EVERYTHING about your work.

But let's start with your #protagonist

Who are they?

What makes them interesting?

What do they dream of?

Who do they love? Who do they hate? And what for?

Been BORED for at least 50 pages now. Seems more a book about domestic trouble than anything remotely fantasty-related.

This should just have stopped at book three I think. But I will finish it regardless.

The Painted Pilgrim was merely a scholar who had written his exploits in the first story I wrote about the lands of Ophek Lí Zillah. Now he is where it all begins.

Stay tuned! We are trying to make this sucker into more than a novel.

forwARdgame and I are brewing up a #VR game.

Men, Women, Dishwashing.

Small things like this paragraph is why I enjoy reading.

Forget genre, tell me something human and I am there.

"He would carry that spark his life over the waters..." is gibberish. LeGuin does this every now and again, and it is so annoying.

Reading on my way home from work.

Almost done.

Ursula Le Guin is a good storyteller, but I do feel like In need more from her when it comes to the world she is building.
Not more in terms of "stuff" but I don't feel like EarthSea is a complete world.

Thoughts?

Seen people share their writing setup. Here is mine. The book is all the lore (although only in note form, some outdated, some plain wrong by now), the notes under the blue bird is my current edits for my draft, and that's about it.
Yes, i stare into a wall when I need inspiration. #booksky 📚🌟📚

About to get to work on The Tale of The Painted Pilgrim with some great advice from the author/agent zoom hosted by @jessicaberg.bsky.social along with @tommydeanwriter.bsky.social the other day.

Thank you for hosting and sharing your wisdom! 🙌📚🌟📚

If you have taken the @stephenking.bsky.social "how to handle rejection" course, you know that writing the name of rejectees on paper and doing this is part of the journey.

Behold! My Nail of Rejection

Also, #literaryagents, do not worry. As far as I know this is not Voodoo.

Remember when #edsheeran shared that audio clip of him being horrible at singing when he started? This is my version of that. #firstdraft
