I’m so behind on the show but tbh, it’s tough to watch now because, well, everything

Tonight, I’ll be watching The Thing (1986). I’ve never seen it before but have heard soo many good things

...you just gave me so many ideas, and not JUST medieval San Francisco

i think it depends on how much foreshadowing was done throughout the book, as well as what the cover art/title convey.

I spend much of the early process just thinking about things and taking notes as I lay in bed each night. I then move those into a GDoc and use that as a VERY rough outline.

I've also found that once I start actually writing, theme-appropriate ambient music helps get the creative juices flowing.

Right there with you, Joseph!

I’ll check that link out tonight, thank you!

Oh no, I'm very sorry to hear that.

15 novels is quite the accomplishment and a TV series is SO exciting!

Read the first handful of chapters of the preview. I love the premise!

That's awesome! Care to link? Would love to check out some of your work.

I'm currently in query hell for my completed book, but have started researching self-publishing. Have you enjoyed the process?

That's a really good point about the name... I have the deactivation window still, I'm going to roll that idea round a bit and may end up doing that, as well.
