Deeply disappointed in @draft2digital.bsky.social for introducing fees that will effectively remove what little income I would receive. I had my doubts over the Smashwords merger, @markcoker.bsky.social. It's hard enough being an indie author without getting preyed on by those saying they'll help.

Welcome to my worlds. 😁 I run three godbooks, one for each of the main universes, and still have to revisit the stories to check nuances.

May your day improve immeasurably from then on!

Nazir Afzal "I successfully prosecuted 1000s of men for rape. They were all documented & vetted. They didn't come by boat & live 4 to a room in hotels. They live in every town & city. 88% of them are white. If you ONLY care about the black/brown perps then you don't really care about women & girls."

You don't have to love Labour. You don't have to trust the Lib Dems. You don't even have to like the Greens. But if you don't want Nigel Farage running your council, your schools, your services you need to vote tactically on May 7. One candidate can beat Reform in your area. Find out who. Vote for them. There are more of us than there are of them. But only if we actually show up.

Finally binned it. Good! There isn't a studio on this planet that could do Elfquest justice, let alone do it right. 🐺

That's this quarter's short flash (100-300 words) story competition entry done, a random long flash (600-1k words) for this year's anthology done, and the draft copy of next year's horror collection read through, finalised, and off for review. 👍
Right, enough slacking off: back to novel writing. 😁

Never forget that someone else, more likely several people, are now providing the victims. It doesn't stop with Epstein. It starts.

Now I'm really happy I binned it a few months ago.

My first flash tale for April, #booksky: The Vengeance of Silum - of greed and consequences. 🪐📚 💙📚 #author #writing #scifi #flashfiction

A grave on a deserted battlefield, marked with a soldier's helmet atop an assault rifle embedded barrel-first in the dirt. The accompanying quote reads: "Maybe the best way to honour the fallen... ...would be to find more ways to not send others to join them."

Yeah - fun but a little too by the numbers, and waaay too much Rangerdom.

Good choice.

Done that for the last six. Daftest is still 4 in 28 days, though. 😳
Always write the story at the speed you need to. Ten days or ten years, doesn't matter. Just don't stop. 🙂

Been a while. It was a watch once for me. If I remember correctly: good set up, but nothing surprising, and something about the ending didn't work for me.

Looking forward to meeting some of you there, #booksky, #fantasybooksky, #scifibooksky 🪐📚 🗡️📚 🩸📚

Stubborn longevity works if marketing is as alien to you as it is to me. Even more importantly: write for yourself; enjoy what you make. Most importantly: Just write. Never stop. Have fun.

Truths About Writing Most people will ignore what you write Someone dead did it better than you You will be misunderstood That's all ok
