Every time I see someone asking for the name of the film in an Instagram post where you can perfectly see the title of the movie in the description—there, I lost a bit more of faith in humankind. #movies #socialmedia #zeitgeist

I think I'd buy more #books on #Instagram if those stores sold more than non-fiction and self-help books.

Late thought: I've been wondering about how people read. I've been wondering if there's something I haven't understood about reading or readers. If their capacities surpass my own, and, because of that, I can't find my audience. #booksky #literature #writers

I started the week by doing some research for my new novel. I admit how much I don't like that task, but at the same time, it really gets me excited as new ideas are poured into my mind. #booksky #writing #independentauthors #books #research

Hello, fellow bskyers. I hope you have a nice week.

Hello, fellow bskyers. I hope you have a nice week.
Now that I'm here, would it be a good idea to publish my #novel as a serial, that is, by installments on #Substack? Back in 2006, I did it with one of my first works through a blog. #Booksky #publishing
I don't know, does anyone have any experience with that?

I'm back at reading spy fiction to cleanse my palate from strong-flavored material such as Pynchon and Austen; and I find Le Carré much more comprehensible, perhaps because I'm older, perhaps because I've improved my reading skills. #booksky #literature

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts predominantly for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

My plans of following Thomas Pynchon's example and being a writer with a private life have been dashed by how many agents expect their writers to have a "platform" on social media. Probably even dancing on TikTok or whatever. #booksky #writerslife

I'm not proud of the following, but I detest ugly, cheap book covers. I like buying books and keeping them. Having a shockingly awful tome in my library erodes any sense of reading or doing anything at all. (Those above are just examples; I've seen worse) #booksky #covers #literature

Another rejection in the mail. I really appreciate the gesture of writing back—even with a no for an answer. #booksky #writerslife

I've just completed the first 100 pages of my novel. Things are looking good, as I have kept the style and the tone I wanted since I devised the plot. #BookSky

Although an outlet for many unknown authors, I think self-publishing services are nothing but businesses cashing in on the innocence of some people. #booksky

Also, against my principles of writing by compass rather than by map, I'm writing a treatment for my new novel. Why? I feel that with the previous one, the rewriting of the plot to correct mistakes could have taken less time if I had plotted the whole story first. #writing #booksky #novels
