Don’t judge a book by its cover, but this is a pretty cool cover! The book was great, too, Tchaikovsky ( @aptshadow.bsky.social ) is one of my favorite sci-fi writers… his stuff is always a nice combo of tech & humanity.

Not a big deal for most writers, but I finally broke 10,000 on a novel I'm working on without losing faith in the idea and scrapping it. (1)

Too often I hear writers say that they don't know the genre of their novel.
Often this is from new writers.
Often this is while they are writing.
It won't hold. To find your best paying readers you need to know who they are and what they read. Know your genre.

What made you want to write?
For me, it was always being able to escape into books in school. They helped me become invisible and avoid being a target for bullies.
I want to help provide that escape.

More experienced writers discover that their own ideas offer opportunities when their current brain is coughing up mothballs. Keep a journal of ideas. Keep a digital file of your incomplete story bits and pieces. If today is stuck day then go look for a story to cheat on.

Writers are told the only success metric that counts is $$$. This is wrong. The individual writer must decide what success represents in their specific world view and then orient their efforts at reaching that goal as they see fit. You are not me and I am not you.

You need to read Kindred by Octavia Butler.
I just finished it and highly recommend.
It’s brutal and raw and mystical and so complicated.
I need to go back and finish the Lillith’s Brood novels.
