Going to do my duty here and make sure to keep promoting this latest flash piece. It’s fast, it’s violent, and it’s in a different genre than I normally write. Give it a read! shotgunhoney.com/fiction/blac...
Just took out the trash. This is that windchill that will make your nipples numb through multiple layers. Stay safe this weekend if you’re in the path of this bullshit.

Moving around scenes during the edit today, I had whatever the opposite of imposter syndrome is for a minute. I actually didn’t think I sucked for a total of three paragraphs.

I really can’t say enough good things about this book. Do yourself a favor and pick it up.
Calling out the boss here:
As good as she is at supporting our writers, she is FOR SHIT at self-promoting, so allow me a moment of your time:

I didn't learn to write by attending classes or courses in fiction writing.
I learned to write by books.
Meaning, I read books. A lot of them.
Did that make me a good writer? I can't judge that. But did it make me more of a writer than anyone using generative AI to write for them?
Fuck yes.

I have read 7 books this year so far. The Night Ship is the only one I think about every day. Great review here.
What if society was already almost as bad as the apocalypse that followed it?
REVIEW: The Night Ship by Alex Woodroe
The Night Ship is a police-state-gone-apocalyptic tale that offers a ride as dark as its name: tense, chilling survival horror with a gloriously bizarre cosmic threat
