So disappointing. Dear Americans, it is called aluminium.

#booksky let's start a #WIP thread.

✒️📚

I want to know EVERYTHING about your work.

But let's start with your #protagonist

Who are they?

What makes them interesting?

What do they dream of?

Who do they love? Who do they hate? And what for?

Been BORED for at least 50 pages now. Seems more a book about domestic trouble than anything remotely fantasty-related.

This should just have stopped at book three I think. But I will finish it regardless.

Are attention spans too eroded to read long, slow, mood-setting chapter 1's, where you get to know the protagonist?

What do you think? #booksky

I call it "white people-leftovers" when a black actor is cast as a black version of a character a white person once played.

Instead of treating black actors like rage-bait, why not, oh, I don't know: WRITE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS FOR BLACK PEOPLE!!??

John Boyega is a prime example.

A reminder to enjoy this period of Blue Sky, where we can celebrate #Pride month without the Twitter storm of "but what about straight month" 🤡

So, happy #Pride everyone!

The Painted Pilgrim was merely a scholar who had written his exploits in the first story I wrote about the lands of Ophek Lí Zillah. Now he is where it all begins.

Stay tuned! We are trying to make this sucker into more than a novel.

Thrilled to welcome Tyeza to the Azantian family!!!!

I completely fell in love with their manuscript(s) and publishing is not prepared!!!!
I know I've been quiet for a bit, but that's because I've been busy. And now I have good news!

Very happy to announce that I'm now represented by @keiralekseii.bsky.social at Azantian Literary! Looking forward to adding more color to publishing together 🥰

If you were to start reading a new #fantasy series, what would you hope to find hidden within its pages?

Sent a query yesterday. Got a rejection a few hours later.

This to me is a good sign.

What do you think?

"hear me out. What if we never paid for original works from real authors, but instead blended together random IP's?"

State Farm Marketing Head: "Brilliant!"

Without writers there will be no new works, no new works will kill their business, and the magic of film. I like books better anyway ...
This is the dumbest fucking shit I've ever read

"He would carry that spark his life over the waters..." is gibberish. LeGuin does this every now and again, and it is so annoying.

At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE.

This is appropriate levels of rage.

Reading on my way home from work.

Almost done.

Ursula Le Guin is a good storyteller, but I do feel like In need more from her when it comes to the world she is building.
Not more in terms of "stuff" but I don't feel like EarthSea is a complete world.

Thoughts?

At some point in the history of gaming/storytelling/film etc. "blue" became synonymous with magic.

... and I think about stuff like that a lot

Seen people share their writing setup. Here is mine. The book is all the lore (although only in note form, some outdated, some plain wrong by now), the notes under the blue bird is my current edits for my draft, and that's about it.
Yes, i stare into a wall when I need inspiration. #booksky 📚🌟📚
