These things made an author's day and are real fuel for unknown writers like me.
If someone likes your book enough to feel like suggesting it to others or buying it despite already having it, you could pause your imposter syndrome for a bit (like a couple of days before it kicks back) 🙏
Yeah...

Genuine question: at what point do you stop calling something WIP and admit it's just a document you open occasionally to feel guilty?
Asking for several friends.
All of them me

What's the last book that made you genuinely angry at the ending?
Not disappointed. Angry.
I'll go first:
The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier 😡

1,276 people entered REMISSION Goodreads giveaway.
I started this thing thinking "cool, maybe I'll fill the hundred."
I don't have a punchline.
I don't even know if it's a good result or not. I'm just genuinely grateful that many strangers decided my book was worth a click.
Thank you. Seriously.
Current WIP count: more than I'd like to admit.
Finished and published: one.
The math is not mathing 😩
Starting a newsletter called 'Procrastinator Press'
Current status: have the name, have the vibe, have absolutely no idea what tf I'm doing.
Anyone who's built a mailing list from zero? What's the one thing you'd do differently?

I'm old enough to fear the future is gonna be more Mutant Chronicles than Star Trek
Back from holiday!
Apparently Remission has not solved itself in my absence. The algorithm, much like grief, does not take days off.
If you waited for a hard sci-fi with psychological horror vibes, well it was waiting for you too 🫶
Easter Monday: the sequel nobody asked for but everyone shows up to anyway.
Respect the franchise!
Happy sci-fi Easter!
Somewhere out there, an egg contains either chocolate, existential dreads or famelic aliens
Remission is about a FMC, a normal person alone on an hostile planet, fighting against psychological breakdowns, solitude and alien biology.
It's very calming.
My therapist disagrees.
If you enjoy your sci-fi cerebral horror with science stuff and existential dread, Remission is out 🖤
Good Friday: the one day where even dark and horror writers feel a little outclassed by the Bible (or Mel Gibson's version)

My FMC survives on an isolated planet with no human contact.
I couldn't survive a Wednesday without complaining about it with someone.
Character growth is a fascinating thing
Going on holiday this week.
My book will still be out there. Alone. In the Amazon algo. Waiting for someone to click on it.
A lot in common with the FMC.
What's the most unhinged thing you've ever convinced yourself was "just a first draft problem"?
I'll go first:
first 60 pgs will fix themselves eventually with plotting and late explanations—didn't happen, I had to fix them
#WritingCommunity
I spent less time on socials in the past days and the algo completely f.ck up, now I'm plenty of influencers and political stuff.
Let's fix it.

I can barely write without my ADHD relief soundtracks. Mostly during re-reading or editing I could be distracted by almost anything.
Do you need music, white noise, total silence or something else to help keep focused while writing?

Quick shameless reminder that REMISSION's giveaway is still open untill Apr 8
Want a free ride on a cerebral hard sci-fi thriller?
Craving for a rollercoaster of psychological breakdowns and determination?
Well, Remission is here to satisfy your need for psychological horror and traumas.

I felt bad when I didn't write everyday, so I took a year long pause to chill.
You don't have to turn your passion and creativity in an assembly machine.
You may be tired. Out of ideas. Whatever.
Give yourself time.
When I stopped worrying, I started writing every day.
Lightly.
#WritingCommunity
I found out my TBR is consistent in:
being inconsistent
changing everytime
I never make my TBR list too long, usually try to keep it 4-5 titles per time. Don't want to plan too much ahead.
My current list counts 3 non-fiction and 2 indie sci-fi.
How's your TBR for this late winter?
