I've been struggling to maintain so many social media accounts. I'm thinking of dropping Facebook and Twitter. And adding Instagram.
Instagram and TikTok have been popular for my Collectibles business.
Need to figure out the same for Factor Four.
Share your thoughts on social media management.
New day at #nwc48. I am not on any panels today. But I plan to attend quite a few. Plus the art show. And many other cool things to see. But first some breakfast.
Shameless plug, but my first sci-fi series is available at the Bardhwood Book Nook right next to registration. Get your signed copy!
The background image is an illustration of a field filled with yellow and orange flowers, low blue hills at the horizon. At the top of the image is the Norwescon logo made up of a rocket above the word Norwescon and a dragon below. Under the dragon is the number 48. Below the logo are the words Norwescon: Day Three!!!
Day three of #NWC48! Readings start at 9 a.m and gaming and panels start at 10 a.m. The con lounge opens at 9 a.m., and the BIPOC & AAPI and Oasis (quiet) lounges open at noon. The first art-in-action demonstration is Brittany Otto with hand-cut layered paper artwork at 10 a.m. in the art show.
They asked if I would be back next year so they could make it up to me and I hope @norwescon.org will invite me to be a panelist next year. And at that time hopefully a reading will be possible. I was just sad and it did amplify my imposter syndrome.
Thank you Hoku. It isn't really the conventions fault. They put me on the reading and I'm grateful they've invited me to so many panels. It was another group that moderated this reading panel that missed my presence there. I talked to them after but the live stream had ended by then.
However I have one more panel Sunday at noon in Evergreen 3 and 4. Please come see me there. Also you can reach out if you'd like to meet sometime this weekend. #nwc48
Sorry to everyone and anyone that came or tuned in on Twitch to watch me read @norwescon.org. I've not really got a good reason I was skipped on the reading other than they didnt know I was there. But they were very apologetic for the mistake. Maybe next year. #nwc48
I and other authors are doing a live reading at Norwescon in just 30 minutes in Cascade 9. #nwc48 Come show some support. Or you can watch it live on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/norwescon
It was a very good session.
Reading is tonight at #nwc48 8pm to 10pm in Cascade 9. I'll be reading from one of my newest novels. Which one should I read from? Revelation of Secrets or A Conflict of Destiny and Desire?
Also broadcast live on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/norwescon
Many great authors will be reading.
If you're at #nwc48 this weekend and want to say hello, let me know. I'm here on my own. It is my first @norwescon.org in at least 6 years. So I'm eager to make connections!
It is #nwc48 time! Excited to be back. My first panel on the con is Modern Tools. Tonight at 5pm in Cascade 11! #Convention
Getting close to some announcements for my next novel. The very talented @elhyana.bsky.social is doing the cover art. You'll see her bring two new characters from the series to life. For now, here is her art on the first book, A Conflict of Destiny and Desire. Available now on Amazon. a.co/d/1oxOUQA

I'm fairly new into anime (some day I'll have to stop saying it). Watching Frieren now. There is a lot going on in Frieren but this line has to be the most bad ass so far. I was like Damn!
No worries! Hope you're enjoying the experience
My pre-ordered copy of @johnpicacio.bsky.social and Leigh Bardugo new book THE INVISIBLE PARADE, arrived today. Excited to have it in my hands.
Last day of #WorldCon. Staring the morning listening to a panel on Building an Author business. I don't have much on the schedule today. I have art to pick up. I go back to the day job tomorrow, so I'll probably drive home early.
I have Mango too but I found it difficult to follow. Maybe I need to give it a second chance.
So, after my trip to Japan, I've decided Duolingo is not the business. What language apps do you all recommend for learning Japanese? I have LingoDeer on my short list.
I'm really struggling to manage multiple social platforms. And frankly don't enjoy Twitter as much. Those of you that have left Twitter completely for Bluesky, how's it been? Good engagement? Better connection with fans/friends?
If you've read my books, which one of those worlds would you want to play a video game in?
Day 3 of #WorldCon I'm starting my day listening to a panel on gamifying your IP. At 4:30 this afternoon, I'll be participating on the panel Hooking Readers with a Series.
Today's Short Fiction meet up at #WorldCon was a great success. Definitely exciting to hear from my peers in this space.
Day two of #WorldCon. Starting off with attending a panel on Strong Female Leads.
Safe travels!
Anyone at #WorldCon this week? I haven't been in so many years and I've overheard a number of other people say the same. I already wish I'd come back sooner.
My biggest fear was realized. No one has yet shown up for my table talk at WorldCon.
