Depends on the book
Shit That Happened Before 2011 is full of shorts with single word (mostly) names.
Neon Hearts is just numbered
Guariare: Worrier has named sections with numbered chapters, and short named chapters.
1000: Time Paradox has the dumbest names for chapters (see photo)
#TPDox
I promise there's no politics in my queer urban sci-fi about a stratified society in which how you die determines your place in it. And there certainly isn't any in the part where there's a revolutionary war or a dismantle of the government.
Not a single bit of politics mentioned in #TPDox at all.
A wip of a finger deck design. It has the Italian flag and eagle wings. It says Minchia
Who wants a finger board that literally says dick on it?
Is it you?
Well you can get one when you back my campaign! Good news is it will also ward against evil!
#TPDox

#QueerWritersChat
My characters talk to me ALL THE TIME
Like, my God, sometimes I would like them to be quiet please.
Sometimes I'll perform the lines just to hear their voices - Max is a hard one cos his accent is much like Taz Skylar - but otherwise I just listen and write it down
#TPDox
#AwesomeCharacter
None of the main ones do, but sulide character Julian (aka Jools) wants to make a blockbuster film, something that's going to make him millions.
Unfortunately you have to actually DO things not just talk about them to achieve your goals.

Gooood morning! Daylight savings has lined this up perfectly with my break!
It's ya ol' pal Jeb, getting a backerkit campaign ready for the FIRST THREE BOOKS! Which means editing, formatting and all that other fun stuff

#WeeknightWriters
If I was to compare Guariare: Worrier, I'd say it's kinda like Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta
Except Stephan's VERY GAY, better at school and his Nonna is still in Sicily.

But I'm not telling you who is dead and who is resurrecting them. Because MASSIVE SPOILERS.

I wish I'd made it on time, but hey at least we're here now. I love seeing everyone's answers each week 🥰 keep being awesome
As for me, well here's where you can follow the campaign for my three books - they form an intertwined prologue to the main series!
#TPDox #QueerWritersChat
Fuck no.
Maddy’s work is too complicated (she's styling biomedical engineering), a barista is not for me, nor is anything g customer facing (I'm a planner and very good at it) and it *could* be an electrician but not sure how much I would enjoy the culture.
#TPDox #QueerWritersChat
Kinda. Steph being a barista feeds into some tension with James.
Brent's does later on in a different book.
Dean’s does but only in isolating him and making him move out.
Pete's not at all
Maddy? Well her studies influence EVERYTHING.
#TPDox #QueerWritersChat
The main kids in #TPDox Preludes sorta have jobs.
Dean works nightfill at Coles (supermarket)
Steph is a barista
Brent is an apprentice electrician
Maddy is a full time Uni student
Pete works checkout at Woolworths, then the party section at Spotlight (Aussie Michaels)
#QueerWritersChat
There was too much backstory for 1000: Time Paradox, so I wrote three books that come before it to cover it all.
Plus the present story of 1000: Time Paradox has enough going on as it is so it'd be like 1000+ pages long.
#TPDox
If I was to compare Neon Hearts, I'd say it's kinda like Sushi Central by Alasdair Duncan (US title: Dance, Recover, Repeat)
Except Pete has a happier ending.
#TPDox

Have Dean and Steph's hands 🥰
These are my OTP from my books. Best boys.

If I was to compare Shit That Happened Before 2011, I'd say it's kinda like Idiot Pride by Matt Zurbo.
Except it's super queer.

I fell up the drive and fumbled the key in the lock. I shouted (loudly, drunkenly) “WASSUP MAH BITCH?!” to Sunil (who may or may not have been asleep, or even home), staggered to kitchen, opened the fridge and grabbed out a container of leftover tikka.
Day 7. Snippet with loud
Dean has come home from the gig very drunk and yells at his housemate Sunil who, spoilers, is not home. Sun is a good cook, Dean is not.

I actually did a silly thing about this
#TPDox
#AwesomeCharacters
I have too much art. Like at least 500 pieces that I've drawn.
But here's the protagonists from my upcoming books.
Dean, Steph, Maddy, Brent and Pete.
#TPDox
Day 5. Apologies.
Oh man, theres so many. Biggest apology Dean gives is to himself. Man, this boy grows the absolute fuck up
#TPDox
#TimeTravelAuthors
Day 3. Is Dean protecting anyone?
YUP. This idiot is protecting himself. He's thinking that he's doing the best thing for his broken healing heart, but... is he????
IS HE?!!!
(no)

I LITERALLY DID THIS THE OTHER DAY
