Rather impressed with Amazon today. Ordered a proof copy last night and it’s already on its way. (For those not in the know, proof copies are usually s-l-o-w!)

My writing process is usually:
a) I got this
b) well, fuck
c) wait that part was real good
d) wait no that part sucks
e) I am a god of this place
f) the fuck is this shit, who do I think I am, why am I here
g) oh man I just figured it all out
h) mistakes were made
I) existential dread

And it’s time for beta readers!
Still lots of polishing to do, but I’ve reached the point where I need eyes on the project for feedback before doing any more editing and/or rewriting.
If anyone here would like to be a #betareader please reply to this post.

Last: Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson
Current: Of Darkness and Light by @ryancahill.bsky.social (follow me Ryan- I’m writing teeny tiny dragons! 😉)
Next: any one of a hundred on my tbr, but probably something I haven’t bought yet. IYKYK

Ah, now this is interesting. And not enough space in a post for it. If you google “Asimov Ribbon World” you’ll get a clear picture.
It’s sci-fi, but I thought… what a great idea for a fantasy world. I bet dragons live there. 🙂

What inspired your book's setting? Is it based on somewhere you've been, or is it an amalgamation of different times and/or places?

Busy #editing. I appear I’m rather fond of the word “particularly.”
What word do you overuse when drafting?

Heads up fellow indie authors! Vellum (wonderful book formatting software) is 30% off this week only! It’s expensive, so that’s a decent discount.
It’s on Mac only though.

Day 1.
This looks like fun!
Hi, I’m Damien. Hurtling towards 50 faster than I’d like, and live in south-east England. One day I’d like to buy a canal boat to live on.
My debut novel will be out next year. Expect a unique world, little dragons and interesting magic. 😀

You know what’s motivating? Getting sign-ups to my newsletter before I’ve published a single word! My website (see bio) only has a landing page and NL sign up form so far. I promise, good things are happening behind the scenes! #writer #amediting #writingcommunity #WIP 🐉

Success is all about planning and preparation. I’ve been busy this morning taking advantage of Black Friday deals for the things I need and have saved hundreds.
Among other things, I now have a website (well, a domain name and hosting plan). Details to come…

Just watched a random YT video demonstrating AI for #writing like Brandon Sanderson.
I’ve never even tried using AI myself, and as a #writer I don’t like where this is heading.
None of my work (or cover designs bought) will use AI. Ever.
