Good morning! However much you write today, you’re still a writer

Even if what you write today ends up being nothing

My big WIP is Sword of the Voivode's sequel: Armor of the Saints. A man believed to be a myth threatens Vodomeria, and Daumantas has to figure out what Laurentius, the Mad Sorcerer King wants. Cyril becomes caught between defending relics and his own country. #WriterShareWednesday

A story I'm working on is called "Crossworld Nodus". It takes place in a world where people are constantly getting "Isekaid" and are coming back with power, treasure, and sometimes their friends.
The story would focus on characters in Maelstrom City where all returnees and otherworlders live.

Good morning! Some writers don’t believe in writer’s block

We do believe in it - and more importantly, we believe it can be overcome

In fact, we've created the FREE Writer's Block Buster to help you defeat it weeknightwriters.com...

I did a 1 year trial of PWA last year because Grammerly kept failing me

I’d copy/paste into PWA, let the spell check / gramar check go, then yank it out

Hearing this, I’m glad I never left my stuff in longer than a few hours

I Wont be renewing that subscription

ProWritingAid, the NaNoWriMo sponsor that incorporated AI tools suspiciously close to the time when NaNoWriMo said it would accept AI "written" books, is now trying to capitalize on the end of NaNoWriMo with a "Novel Beginnings" contest

If a book isn’t doing it for you? Nope out early and often. Even (maybe especially) if it’s something you’re writing.

This is my latest free Patreon feature.

It's ~2,000 words about one of my all-time favorite anime and how I learned to stop looking at it with rose-tinted glasses.

Morty's diet is turning to long pork. Can a nerdy bookseller stop a cannibal curse, or is succumbing to the endless hunger actually useful for culling the world of bigots? Horror comedy with gore & snark: WENDIGOGO! books2read.com/u/mv5BzX & graythornpub.com
Cover for WENDIGOGO by KA Silva, illustration by Sally Jackson. Morty, an average young white guy wearing a blue sweatshirt & jeans, looks warily over his shoulder at thr monster looming behind him. Its elk skull has huge sharp antlers, fangs dripping ichor, and glowing red eyesockets. Its long arms end in wicked claws, and ribs show through its patchy pelt. A blizzard swirls in the night behind them. The E in the title is formed by red claw slashes.
