I write books where people kiss each other and defeat the government. Plus swords! And eldritch horrors beyond comprehension! (they/them)

I've gotten to the point in my book, like every one before it, where I look around and scratch my head and go "what the hell am I doing here? What is this garbage? None of this means anything." And I'm trying to power through it but MAN

Currently reading the Foxfire books/essays/articles. I could probably do a bad job of depicting a high fantasy version of appalachia, but I love the area so much it deserves better than that. Oh also lots of research about trains. So much train research.
THIS IS YOUR AUTHOR INTERVIEW:
What kind of research do you do for your writing? Could you write without doing it?

I! Did! The! Thing! After an 11 hr work day i decided I'd be damned if I didn't get some writing in. So I set the timer for an hour and went to work. 1,300 words in! Thats more than I've done in two weeks.

Love a good "fire drill all hands on deck this is the week we need perfection" call on a Monday morning when I'm already overallocated and help is most definitely not on the way. 🙃 I've never been so motivated to finish a book yet unable to do so.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

So i just watched The Substance (2024) and I have thoughts, I can't decide if I want to yell about it here or wait until I have time to write an article about it for @thegeekiary.bsky.social...

What are we working on today, blooters? That's what I've named you all. I'm doing the 9-5 thing and then tweaking my intro scene to give it more of a dark appalachia feel. 📚🌈
