Future author, currently editing 2 debut novels, querying 1.

Looking for authors to connect with as I ready my novel for traditional publication.

Writing for my dad (I'm Red's son). Close to 2 months since he went down with covid and he still can't focus enough to write a simple post. Doc appt on sept 24, which is way too long. He's sure nobody online cares, but I'm out to prove him wrong. He doesn't get why it's important to tell people.

Querying is exciting. I'm actually looking forward to counting rejections! If Stephen King made it through 30 rejections 50 years ago, I can take 90. Not that I'm as good of a read as _Carrie_ still is. But a debut is a debut, right?

Writing exercise: working on my prose to be poetic and descriptive without quite crossing the line into purple. See the alt tags on my two images, feel free to tell me how I did.

Just to be clear: I despise politics with a passion. But the only thing I despise more than politics is Donald J. Trump. I had one direct dealing with him many years ago, as an assistant to someone who had an actual deal. The man could not be a bigger loser in person. And with zero moral fibre.

Someone asked me why I'm posting my photos. The answer may be found in the alt tags. I'm practicing my non-visual descriptions with them. It's actually a writing exercise for me.

Thanks to @reedsy.bsky.social for an editor that counts my one WIP today. That's all I did today.

Would be nice if I could have another count that aggregates multiple projects! But this is already a great tool. I'm not actually complaining.
