The 2025 Open Novella contest begins Feb 1st. You choose one of their prompts to write your novella around. You get 12 weeks to write at least 20k words (40k max). This will be my 5th year participating. There’s usually 700-800 participants (my sister won last year 🏆). It’s really fun!

My writing process:
Step 1: Write the thing.
Step 2: Read it back and cringe.
Step 3: Set it on fire (metaphorically).

Found a plot hole today. Fixed it by pretending it’s foreshadowing. Editing is a skill, folks.

To published indie authors, why are your books not in your links? Some of you just link to another social media account while others don’t have any links at all 😰 Some bios say “Search for my book on Amazon”.
Yes, this is a genuine question.

Wrote 1,000 words today. They were all bad, but I’m choosing to call it character development—for me.

Anyway, happy turkey day to those who celebrate, but especially those who harbor a deep sense of disappointment that they'll never be able to attend a massive feast like appears in pretty much every Redwall book.
