Beyond grateful to see I'm closing in on 10,000 followers. Amazing! Thank you all. How about a giveaway to help me get there? If you dig what I do, please repost this to help me spread the word about my work. I'll pick one random share for a signed copy of their book of choice once I pass 10k. 🖤

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
Writing is not a lucrative business. I've published 30 books but still don't make a solid living at it, despite many awards and acclaim I'm really proud of. People making a good living at this are way less than 1% of published authors.

The collection of distributors & studios commonly referred to as "Hollywood" releases roughly 700+ movies theatrically a year but the mainstream only talks about 50-100 of them. Hollywood makes original films, many just don't watch them.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? I've got a couple:
Voice acting: No one cares what impressions you can do. Can you A. Act and B. Take direction?
Illustration/Minipainting: I will spend 3 times as long looking at reference than I do on actually finishing a piece.

Correct use of colon can really change a sentence. For example:
Bob went out for dinner with Jane and ate her chips.
or
Bob went out for dinner with Jane and ate her colon.
You see? Completely different.

Today, June 25, is publication day for Ghost of the Neon God. Incredibly proud of this novella, which I wrote haltingly over five years. I pitched it as 'Mad Max meets Johnny Mnemonic' (& it's set in the same universe as 36 Streets). Time for a whisky. @titanbooks.bsky.social @quellist1.bsky.social

Started playing Pat Naoum's #TheMastersPupil game, what an absolute visual masterpiece. Game play is much like #Limbo but the backgrounds & the total immersion to #Monet paintings in the game play is phenomenal. Has so much been worth the wait! themasterspupil.com/
