If you follow a few authors on Instagram, you might be under the impression that we spend all our time working in coffee shops. But aesthetics aren't everything, and these three points are probably the most important things to consider when deciding where to write. New Patreon post:

I'm not 'back to work', I never left.
It's day six of seven for me and quite frankly I've had enough!

Reckon we've reached the 'invading Poland' stage of the road-to-war timeline.
We've all studied this, and we know what happens next.
If the line isn't drawn, here and now, it'll be Mexico, Cuba, Greenland... WWIII breaking out as we watch.
And I'm scared, for myself and for my son. Scared...

Life is about finding balance.
For every hour you spend shambling through the old forest spreading fear & wonder, spend an equal amount of time spreading fear & wonder while shambling through the old forest.
It's that simple.

This year, I’m going to focus on writing across as many projects as possible. I have one contracted novel that needs editing, another that needs writing, and I have ideas for other books that need to be started so that my agent can pitch them to publishers. My key word in 2026 is going to be: WORK

Of recent series, I would say The Wheel of Time cancellation is one that disappointed me the most. The cancellation of Stargate Universe has always annoyed me, and the new series better male up for it!

Something I learned early on, you can write to market all you want, but it takes so long to publish a book that by the time it comes out the market will have moved on.
I was watching a video about an author who uses AI, and one of the things that stood out to me was how she talked about writing to market and how, as an author, writing what you want takes a backseat to the market when you get "serious" about it, and I vehemently disagree. 🧵
