Whoever invented the throw blanket needs to be imprisoned for life. Why, in the name of anything that exists, would one want a blanket that stops at their elbows OR can cover their midriff comfortably but leaves your shins down exposed? It's nonsensical and I HATE them

In celebration of my weight loss journey (just hit 199 pounds!) and also just because "why not?", the Cedain series will be on sale this weekend (Thursday the 6th, and ending on the 9th). Link to The Trials of Ashmount will be in the comments and you can reach the other 2 there

I'm not the biggest fan of how this app doesn't seem to push most notifications to my phone and I'm not in the habit of checking in here regularly lol

I've done well enough in my author career where I've had months I've sold many hundreds of books. I've had other months where I've sold less than 10. Let me say, those months where I sold less than 10 were heartbreaking, but I appreciated each of those sales SO MUCH MORE

Today, I weighed 200.1 (lost 22 pounds so far) and while I was happy (it's the lowest weight I've weighed in at least 10 years), I'm also really annoyed 🤣 let me get below 200 already

How I arrived on BlueSky. I still feel this way lmao

My girlfriend's surgery went well - no signs of cancer in her removed colon. She is now back home and recovering. Glad for that. Now back to yelling into the void on here and hoping I can reconnect with everyone I used to interact with on Twitter

I SHOULD be around on here more lately because I'd like to build a more solid presence here but I haven't been able to summon the energy. My girlfriend has been in the hospital after having her colon removed due to her Crohn's and I've just been feeling bleh waiting for her to get home

Kind of absurd people don't want somebody promoting their own books on their own account. What you should get mad at is people promoting their books unsolicited in DMs or on unrelated posts lol
ngl, it's a little depressing when people tell me i don't uplift others enough and get frosty at me posting about my own books when 95% of my posts are everyone else's ...

like, i started my page to boost *everyone* ... and i'd like to be included in *everyone* too :/
This is why marketing is such a chore. Posts that are like "recommend me this book which is exactly the book you wrote but DON'T RECOMMEND YOUR OWN BOOK OR I'LL BLOCK YOU" and people like @bookspotlight.bsky.social being told she's marketing her books too much. Like... 1/

In case my position on this isn't clear on this platform: fuck AI writing and art. If you use it in a product you're selling, I think you're both lazy and an idiot.

Absolutely disgusting
THE AI THIEVES STRUCK AGAIN!

what. the. actual. fuckeroni.

500 followers! Now if I can multiply this by 5, I'll be just above where I'm at on Twitter and can feel good about coming here 🤣
January 19, 2025 at 1:10 AM
Almost to 500 followers! Going a lot quicker than when I first joined Twitter 🤣
January 15, 2025 at 9:41 AM
Oh wow. I just logged in here and saw a bunch of new followers. Hello new people!

BEFORE THE END is now available on Amazon in both paperback and hardcover (finally!)
January 5, 2025 at 9:21 AM
I just started watching the show Barry and it's pretty amazing - both hilarious and dark. Hank (pictured below) is absolutely hilarious. So is Stephen Root's character, Fuches. Almost done with season 2, hoping seasons 3 and 4 are just as good

I just pushed the "go live" button on the hardcover edition of BEFORE THE END. Should be live in a day or two (or if we're lucky, a few hours). That process took for too long. Now comes the task of mailing a few copies out to reviewers and wiping my hands clean of this book

I FINALLY finished Baldur's Gate 3. 10/10 game for me, Shadowheart is my favorite, although Karlach is a very close second. My only criticism is that act 3 has sooooooooo many people to talk to and most of them have nothing to say. Why make them interactive? Really slowed down my progress lol

Ever since BEFORE THE END released, I've been seeing a resurgence in sales for THE TRIALS OF ASHMOUNT which is lovely.

I haven't asked if any reviewers are interested in my series on here yet (or if I did, I totally forgot and apologize). But if anyone wants review copies, let me know and I'll email you ebooks. No expectations or deadlines or even requirements to review. Just let me know! 🙂

Well... the good news is that my checkups on my feet and eyes (testing for diabetics issues) both turned out to be perfect according to both doctors. So yay.
December 3, 2024 at 8:18 PM
Today I get to go to a podiatrist to get my perfectly fine feet checked because of my diabetes diagnosis. Not happy about it because I had to wake up early and I'm certain there's nothing wrong lol.
