A person reading an ebook and loving it for Smashwords Read An Ebook Week
It's almost time for another Smashwords sale. Are y'all ready? I've got several books in this one, and I'll tell y'all more about them in the time leading up to the sale. March 1-7th, @smashwords.bsky.social Read an Ebook Week! #Writers #Books
If I just start shrieking into the air, will someone swoop by and feed me?
I might be super excited about this.
BARRY star Bill Hader is back behind the camera for THEY KNOW, a new horror film he'll direct, write, and star in.
If lady good
Big lady is more lady
Which is better
More more more
Thank you for weighing in. I have liked and disliked the way authors did this over the years, so I had to look for opinions. I will check out their formatting!
What opinion do y'all have about including a dictionary of fake language words in a fiction book series? Should I skip it, add it to the beginning, add it to the end, or use footnotes? The series I'm working on has at least four made up languages, but the words are sprinkled in. #writers #writing

Well, that's fun to find out. I'm top 5 on Goodreads! for... reading and reviewing, not writing, but hey, it's something. 🤓 #GoodreadsYearInBooks #writers
I freaking love that stuff, and there's no one I'd rather chew juice with. <3
Also, before I forget, I have some books discounted this month. At least one will be on sale the 8th through the Smashwords 2025 End of Year Sale at smashwords.com/sale #EOYSale25 #books2read #indiebooks
Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything here. So much has happened in that time, I can't possibly update it all in one post, so... I guess it's exploration time for me. #writerbrain
I just saw this. 😆
I keep forgetting social media exists.
This book was In-Cred-Ible, y'all. All sorts of fucked up in all the best ways. GRAB A COPY!

She is spread out in unbearable softness, a wedding gown with no-one to wear; the moon’s reflection would carry her amidst all others. The flower has become too majestic in her fragile form for this world to carry—a cage-world that rolls free #thought into its hold. No childhood, no honour. #inkMine
Secure within these bubble walls
where truth gets filtered in
No shades of gray to be found in here
Cause those who dare question get vanished
lest they cloud our regurgitated narrative
So much easier for us
not to be burdened with thought
comfy in a hammock
of opinion uniformity
#inkmine #poem
You #lace our friendship with little things
A slight touch
A lingering glance as you shut the door
I smile but nothing more
Desiring but scared
Once before
In the cemetery with a warm autumn wind
I was overwhelmed
Never saw her again
I look at you now and shudder
Drop my head and walk away

over puckered, weathered skin
roadmap of a life well-traveled
or a life well-trodden over
#vss365 #pucker
Poster of a fire eater.
Under the flickering circus lights, the fire eater’s lips curled into a #pucker as they neared the flame. The few circus-goers who had wandered this deep into the tented village shifted uncomfortably.
The flame itself took the shape of a mouth and turned to them.
“Run,” it hissed.

Some actions cannot be undone, so once down the #rabbit_hole, one must make a plan. #vss365 #vsshorror
Oooh, this is a story I'd love to read.
Honestly, I'm just proudest of the fact that I finished something again after a long time struggling and that I'm committed to seeing something through to publication for the first time.
But also there's little snips like this one that make me feel clever. 🤣

Letting your weirdness out in full force is hard work, but it always pays dividends! #pretendpanel #writing #horrorwriters
I haven't cried yet, but it's early days. I almost cried looking at the source material for the awful thing someone did to my book's "monster" because it was an atrocious act of human violence towards an innocent creature. #amwriting #horrorwriting #pretendpanel
"'Maybe I should just take you home with me.' That would be easy to explain to Jake and Mickey. She could waltz in with the creature wrapped around her like a new cloak and preen like a movie star on the red carpet." - untitled horror novel, Evelith Gray
Sometimes home isn't the best sanctuary, especially when your new friend is something too big, too strange to exist.

Your DMs aren't open, but I'd love a copy of your book to review!
The #fool ripped the veil from the corpse’s face, eager to mock the superstition. By dawn, his skin had peeled away, replaced with ribbons of sinew that wept black fluid, his laughter a wet, gurgling ruin.

Every place he traveled to, he was rude and cared not for the locals' culture, which wore thin at the last village he visited
He wished to act like a #fool so they punished him as such
By the evening, his skined body was on display in the village square

"Maybe she was a fool for having cut the creature free, but she would rather be a fool than a monster." - untitled horror novel, Evelith Gray #amwriting #vss365 #vsshorror
