Aspiring thriller author working on my debut. Ancient mysteries, modern dangers, and too much coffee. Love connecting with fellow writers on this wild journey.
Me: Time to line edit my archaeological thriller!
Brain: What if... Nazi occultists trying to summon an ancient serpent god?
Me: No, we're editing—
Brain: PHOTOGRAPHER SLOWLY TURNING REPTILIAN
Me: opens new document 😅 #WriterProblems

Needed to get away from the line editing, been about 2 weeks, but I'm starting up again tomorrow 😀 #AmWriting

One of those writing days where 'progress' means I didn't make anything worse. That counts, right? Tomorrow we try again. #amwriting #writerslife

Reviewing chapter one and realized my scene transitions are... abrupt. It flows perfectly in my head but on the page? Not so much. 🙂 #amwriting #amediting

3 months ago, I announced my 3-book book deal.
Today? I just submitted ALL THREE BOOKS to my editor! Which means I wrote & polished TWO complete books in this time frame!! I can’t express how I’m feeling right now! 🤯😭🥹

THE LEGACY OF POE will be published by Roan & Weatherford in Fall 2026

Fell down a rabbit hole researching the actual temperature inside Egyptian tombs (can be surprisingly stable). The things we Google for our novels... 🙂 #amwriting #amresearching #thriller

Hi Fellow #amwriting folks: how do you balance modern tech/future tech with ancient mysteries in your plots? Currently trying out some ideas with this in my thriller. #writingcommunity"

After a long day at work, I'm looking forward to diving back into the dusty tombs and digital shadows with Elena. Sometimes the oldest secrets have the most terrifyingly modern implications. Wrestling with getting that balance just right in the first chapter. 🤯

"Hi Bluesky! I'm Henrik, and I'm writing my first novel. It's terrifying and exhilarating. My protagonist Elena is uncovering secrets beneath the Sphinx while I'm uncovering how to actually finish a book. Anyone else on their first novel journey? 🏺 #amwriting #debutauthor #writerslife"
