Got my copy of my friend's debut indie novel, "Shadow of Lilith." Stevie put so much work into this book, and the final product is BEAUTIFUL. steviehoslerwrites.myshopify.com

New office set-up! Traded a small L-shaped desk for a big ass executive one. Now I can stare at my inspiration board while I write and have space to set out notes!

Spent a long weekend at the #CrookedOakLodge in Deep Creek! 😍
Yes, this WOULD be the perfect deck view for a writing retreat, but on this particular trip, we had 12 adults and 18 kids with us. 🤪
Tomorrow… back to work!

New milestone unlocked for book #2.
I think most writers will tell you that their first drafts are pretty bad. This is the point where you’re still trying to tell yourself the story, not where you’re working out how to tell it to others. Proud of these words of unknown quality.

Wrote over 5k words today and passed the halfway point on book #2!
I have a headache, and I’m not sure the story makes sense right now, but I’m team “make it first, make it good later.”

The way I absolutely devoured “Slayers of Old” by fellow @awfulagent.bsky.social writer @jimchines.com! Finished it within 23 hours of getting the e-book. I laughed, I cried, I tried to not imagine what tentacles feel like. Add this to your TBR NOW for its Oct. 21st release!

This is not a how-to article explaining how to write, query, and sell a book in 200-ish days, because those articles are bullshit. But it is, hopefully, a reminder of what can happen if you just start.
