Sometimes things don't quite go to plan. It can be hard, when obstacles mean things don't turn out the way we wanted. But the important thing to remember, is that no matter how disappointed you might be, there are always BOOKS. #indieauthors #indiewriters #writingcommunity

So I woke up and I saw this review… and I swear someone’s cutting onions in my house because I’m totally not crying from nice words
Season of Kings by @arettger22.bsky.social
is a brutal book. If you're a fan of grimdark, violent barbarians, conniving rulers, and seedy criminals, you should give this a read!

Saw this today and thought I’d reshare:

People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there’s no level of skill where you stop being you. You hate the most valuable part of your art

It's been a busy week for me, what with getting a virus, breaking my phone and setting off my vertigo. Luckily, prior to that I did some much more fun things. Like recording the first Spotlight Chewing episode of 2025 with @arettger22.bsky.social Listen here: tinyurl.com/2j2u4fe3

As an indie author, it's hard not to focus on sales, but I try my best. Sales are never my #1 goal as an author. My goal is to create the best book possible. But today I sold my first copy in 2025. So to the person in the UK who bought the eBook of Season of Kings, thank you so much! 😊

Does anyone else write and think “Wow, I just wrote some good stuff here.” Then you go back two days later and read it and immediately think “Was I fucking drunk when I wrote this garbage?”
