Best views out the window this time of year. Time to get to work. #writerswindow #amwriting #writingcommunity

The view as I began this mornings writing session. Pretty cool. #writerswindow

I spent nearly 2 hours editing a short story today. This is the skill I’m struggling with the most but it felt good today. Hopefully ready to submit before the end of the month. #writingcommunity #writersky #authorsky #writingupdate

It needed to be documented!

I attended a Christopher Moore author appearance at Anderson's Bookshop! He delved into his writing & new novel, Anima Rising. Got to chat with him while he signed 3 books! Glad he told me about the online bonus material for Sacre Bleu. @theauthorguy.bsky.social #ChristopherMoore #AnimaRising

1000(ish) words seems to be the magic number for my sessions lately. Just finished a scene I feel good about.

Thanks. Good luck and Happy New Year to you!

Finished the year with a writing session of nearly 1000 words. Decent finish as I push hard to complete this book in 2025.

Just finished “Inadverent” by Karl Ove Knausgaard, the 39th book I read in 2024. I read so many great books this year and have two new favorite authors: Knausgaard and David Mitchell.

HarperCollins is selling their authors’ work to AI tech. On Friday, author Daniel Kibblesmith posted a series of screenshots on Bluesky in order to share a concerning email he received from the agency who’d repped him on his children’s book S…

Wow! This is disturbing.

Congrats to Samantha Harvey on winning the 2024 #bookerprize for her novel. I just finished this novel and her prose weightlessly transports you to a space station in low Earth orbit for 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets over 24 hours.

As I finish my early morning session in a row writing, here’s the view out my window. @writingcommunity.bsky.social #writerswindow #WritingCommmunity #amwriting

Hi everyone. I’m always looking to connect with other authors.

Happy National SciFi Day

SciFi helped me find my passion for reading & it’s still one of my favorite genres. I even created a website with maps of Star Wars planets.

Can name all of these planets from some of my favorite scifi universes.
