Today's vinyl selection while waiting for the snow.

Also wrapping up edits for my new rural fantasy novella scheduled for February.

Thoughts in self publishing novellas? I just finished my second one scheduled for February. This one is slightly less in words at 26k compared to my first one at 37k. What kind of genres and stories are you writing in this word count?

How did you find your preferred genre for writing? Or are you still "testing the waters" with finding your voice?

Thoughts on using Notebook LM to create podcasts where you the author interview your own characters and also have them interview each other by breaking the fourth wall?

Any recommended writers sharing advice on YouTube to follow? So far I find Kieren Westwood youtube.com/@kierenwestw... and Book Fox youtube.com/@bookfox?si=... inspirational.

How do you balance time between writing your next book and posting/reading social media? It feels like a full time effort to do both.

One of my favorite moments from HBO's Six Feet Under. Any fans of the series?

I'm reading an excerpt from my upcoming novella at an open mic event. Interestingly, the story is a rural fantasy that takes place in the very same town where the event is taking place.

Thoughts about a solo podcast where I read excerpts from my novella and then talk about a topic relating to it? Has anyone done something similar?

Any writers not bound by genre? My novella Digital Decadence is sci-fi and mystery. The next book I am writing is suburban fantasy. Thoughts on this approach where the story decides which category it belongs to? I can see it being an issue when marketing it.
