The cover of “The Door in Penrose Forest” by Sean David Robinson.

I can still hardly believe it’s real, but…

2026 is the year I officially become a published author. 🦋🦋🦋

I feel so fortunate and beyond excited to see what the future holds.

Thanks!

Thank you so much. 🙂🙂🙂

Love that. It is a wonderful name.

A gilded age staircase rises in the woods of Penrose Forest.

PENROSE

As a child, Nico watched his mother climb a staircase in the woods and vanish.

Reading her journal 30 years later, he discovers a link between her disappearance & the Gilded Age mansion which burned down in those woods 100 years ago.

You don't know anyone but natural born American citizens, full stop. And if you're white and border patrol or ICE starts asking questions, you ask to see their warrant. Don't you do nazi shit.

And you’ve made my day. 🙂

Thank you!

Thank you! 🙂

Spooky, right? 🙂

Thank you so much. 🙂

Close! In fact, there’s a whole subreddit on people who have found these kinds of unattached staircases in the woods, accompanied by warnings against climbing them…

A creepy staircase in the woods.

PENROSE

As a child, Nico watched his mother climb a staircase in the woods and vanish.

Thirty years later, he stumbles upon her journals & learns her disappearance has something to do with the razed Gilded Age mansion which once stood on the very spot where he lost her.

We all have an emotional support dead celebrity. Who they are says a lot about you.

So it goes.

#WritingCommunity don't forget that agents want to find you to use #amquerying hashtag, not the mswl. Let the mswl be for agents. The best way is to either participate in pitch events or actually sit down and query your thing and get those rejections under your belt.

POV: It’s the holidays and the dawn of American fascism and you’re an #amQuerying writer trying to keep it together and someone says “How are you?”

And you say, “Oh, hanging in there…”

Another day finished.

My regular anxiety (squiggle ball) vs my Christmas anxiety (same squiggle ball, but wearing a Santa hat).

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my anxious writers out there.

That feeling when the entirety of your next novel materializes in your brain fully formed and demanding to be written 💡💡💡

Looking for recommendations on where to submit short stories of the literary speculative fiction genre.

Anywhere that might swoon over stories with tone and subject matter similar to Story Of Your Life by Ted Chiang.

Not sure we should be borrowing energy from the multiverse in order to do math faster. That said, I’m considering this a win for speculative fiction writers like myself. Any future skeptics will now be met with “Google says it’s plausible.”

The Penrose Triangle, an impossible shape.

The shape of my novel, Penrose, is in the name — an impossible three-sided object. Great summation by Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Really good advice I recently heard: sometimes the best thing you can do for your novel is to tell the story in chronological order.

Two rejections and another full request in the last day and a half. Feels like agents are clearing their inboxes in preparation for the holidays.

Bracing for a barrage, keeping hope alive for an offer…

🤞🤞🤞

Yes, yes, yes. Libraries are where I fell in love with the grand escape only literature can offer.
