I'm finally on DCC book 7, a few hundred pages more, and then I can rest. Holy shit, I cannot shut up about these books.
I swear I will be back to scifi romance soon 😅🚀👨‍🚀

Like all skills, writing is a journey. it's supposed to be hard but that doesn't mean its not fun. I ❤️ listening to lectures on the craft, I ❤️ writing my drafts even if they get tossed, I ❤️ the feeling of accomplishment at each stage.
Sometimes, I dont love my own writing, but I can get better!

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

I feel I've been quiet these last few days. I've been engrossed in reading the DCC book series and bouncing around my manuscript with second draft edits (which feels crippling at times). It's a weird headspace to be in for sure. #indyauthor

It's been one week and I am now 4 Dungeon Crawler Carl books deep. I think my brain chemistry has changed, help! 😆

Goddamnit Donut - our protagonist, Carl's catchphrase. This is what happens when your cat enters the dungeon with you. Princess Donut (grand champion best in dungeon) is now one of my favourite characters.

I have been waiting for version 1 of BALL x PIT, a block-breaker roguelite, to drop and it finally has. This is a real contender for my Roguelite of the Year.

I had a flight and a lot of hotel downtime for a work thing.
This book is giving me life! Princess Donut is everything 🐱 Carl still has no pants 👖
I'm a fan of power fantasy manwhas like Omniscient Reader, so DCC is right up my alley.

Took 3 days but I've worked thru my entire manuscript. I've probably made close to a thousand notes & corrections-ouch! This was an emotional roller coaster of hating my book, loving it, & hating it again, but ending w/ a firece resolve to make it the best book I can!📖

It's finally here! After forcing myself to take a month break, I am ready to jump on my manuscript and start dev editing! I ordered a physical draft to help create distance between myself and the work, should be fun to rip it to shreds
#amwritting #writesky #scifiwriting #romancewriting #indyauthor
Ordered a copy of my scfi-romance novel just for me thru Lulu, Cover art and design from GetCovers (only teasing it for now), and formatted with scrivener to practice going thru the whole process. I can't wait to mark it up and paper it in post it notes. So estatic I have gotten this far! Strange Salvage will hopefully be completed in spring 2026.

I think today is the last day to buy this sweet, cozy, spicy, romcom novel, set in Chicago, for only $1.99 on Kindle! You can’t buy a pumpkin spice latte for that. 😊 Read it before it becomes a Hallmark movie! amzn.to/4mHob3u

Took a trip to the retro scifi book store decided to get some classics to read. 📚🚀 I loved the Foundation show, now I want to compare to Asimov's original work.

Still killing time before I'm allowed to touch my manuscript for dev edits 😭

It's been a rough few weeks, & the Bobiverse is getting me through it. Just finished book 2 & already cracked open the next.
Who is Bob? A 21stc guy who died, was frozen, and woke up as the human AI designed to run an interstellar probe.

He's livin' the dream 🌎🚀👋

Does anyone ever feel a sort of "first draft hangover"? I spent the last several months obsessively thinking and writing my story, and now I must shelve for at least a month to distance myself from it.
I'm left feeling empty and raw.

First draft at 76k ✅️
First ever attempt at a novel 🫩
I'm calling it done!
Now, the hard part is putting it away for a month and trying not to think about the thing you just spent 7 months obsessing over. 📖✍️😵

🚀 #SpaceshipSunday Today’s pick is a weird one: The Party Yacht from Thor: Ragnarok. Not your average starship this one comes with disco lights, fireworks, and was famously equipped with “orgy mode". Truly a vessel worthy of the Great Grand Master himself 🎶✨🍸 #ThorRagnarok #MCU 🧵 1/2

Best advice I've read today:

"Always take credit for good writing you did not intend because you'll be getting plenty of criticism for bad writing you did not mean either. "
-Writing Tools, Roy Peter Clark

Cant a man enjoy his drink in peace?!
🍸💢 ➡️🧍‍♂️🆚️🦎
Hard to resist the word "reptile" when I have a reptilian alien spieces in my in-progress SFR novel. 📝

Still an early draft, but you get the idea.

But his drink no sooner hit the bar when it was snatched up by a scaley ashen hand. The Xint with one eye had snuck up next to them with surprising speed. The reptile leaned on the bar, uncomfortably close to Joe, and gave a low hiss, thier glassy yellow eye sizing him up. The Xint was smaller than him by at least a foot, but their claws and teeth were quite formidable. “You look soft, human. I thought your kind would be bigger.” They hissed a sharp laugh and ruefully twisted their tongue in the stolen glass, slurping up its contents. He returned their cruel gaze with a bemused expression. “You enjoying that?” Joe asked, probably against his better judgement. The Xint’s large eye quivered. They reared forward, spines fully up, but Joe refused to budge. Shit. He hadn’t even been here ten minutes and he was already being challenged. The Xint’s gang pushed in behind them to watch, waiting to see how Joe was going to react to their leader’s provocation. To them, he was probably tonight's entertainment. How annoying.

"Crawl" is the #WIPSnips word of the day.

My scifi romance story is about a glow-in-the-dark alien salvager who unexpectedly hauls in a man 😱
Things are about to get awkward 💋

It was an alien. She tensed, lips pressed into a thin line. It shouldn’t have surprised her, other species traveled with Esponian crews all the time. But still, her heart quickened and sent a viridescent wave of apprehension through her bioluminescent markings. She bit her lip, leaning closer to get a better look. She just hoped this alien was one of the friendlier kind. Slowly, she crawled toward the survivor’s face, hidden beneath the pod’s life-support mask. The visor was fogged, streaked with condensation. She hesitated, then gingerly gripped the mask and tugged. With a sticky pop, the seal broke and peeled away. A pale face appeared before her—cold and still, yet fragile in its deathlike repose. Thier eyes remained closed, framed by dark lashes. Thier lips, tinged faintly blue, parted slightly. A black tangle of something—clung damply to their forehead. It looked like…hair? Minns’ eyes widened, a golden flash of wonder rippling through her head fronds. I know what you are, you’re a— “Human. Male.” MX interjected, as if reading her mind. “You should not have pulled him out so quickly. The pod requires several intervals to stabilize—”

In honor of the new Alien: Earth series, I'm starting with the ship that began it all: the Nostromo (Alien, 1979). A horror show in space, full of pipes, dark corridors, and everyone's favourite survivors (yes, the cat counts) 👩‍🚀🐱
