Including the books I've written or co-authored and not released, I have over 50 novels now. That's... Quite the number.

Now we move into points of view: are you are first or third person writer? Omniscient or close? Or - yikes! - do you dabble in second person POV? Eleanor Pender chats with @taowong.bsky.social and Nadya Mercik. More about our panelists: britishfantasysociety.org/bfs-online-w...

Listening to some new songs from the Epic musical, which seems to be about the Iliad? Interesting... not sure I'm in love with it yet; but it's decent background music.

Here's a glimpse of the internal artwork for the A Thousand Li: the FIrst Step Deluxe Edition Kickstarter which is on-going right now. We have around 5 total pieces of internal artwork, and another 4 brushwork pieces of individual characters too!

Did I mention that we broke the first stretch goal and unlocked the second? We've got ribbon bookmarks added to the deluxe edition, so now we're going for a character illustration for Fairy Yang! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

Oooh, woke up and saw that the Kickstarter is $500 away from funding the stretch goal that adds a ribbon to the Deluxe Edition. And then, we get to showcase a new stretch... :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta... Can't wait.🖋️📖💰

We funded! So incredibly happy to see the deluxe edition of the First Step funded. Now, the question is how much cooler can we make it? www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

Weather's horrible out there. Woke up stiff and exhausted, in need of stretching. Managed to limber myself up enough to touch my toes, but everything else is still tight. Definitely need to spend some time exercising today.

Fool's Play is on Audible's 2 for 1 sale. If you ever wanted to try a LitRPG with a more epic fantasy flavor, this is the book for you. Trickster and ex-homeless survivor, Fool's come far since the apocalypse. Now, it's time to give back. www.audible.com/pd/Fools-Pla... 🖋️📖💰
Fool's Playwww.audible.com Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Not everyone falls during an apocalypse. Some rise to the occasion. For Fool and Jackal, the System Apocalypse was a chance to start again. A chance to rise...

Watching the number of words 'written' in 4thewords is always amusing, because I also track actual words. So, right now, 4thewords says I've written 2407 words. My own internal document when I C&P it over shows only 2173 words transferred. The other 200+ are just deleted lines, never to be seen.

Struggling to stay awake and functional today. This cold has really sapped my energy. Trying to slowly wake up and keep words.

I love arguments that devolve into - your made up world doesn't make sense to me, as evidenced by my made up world. Why, x event or society or tech should have happened because that's what happens in my head. So, there. You're wrong. 🖋️📖💰

Cut out of class early today. Could probably have pushed on but the pain was getting bad enough that I knew it would be an issue for the rest of the day if I didn't take a break early. Negotiating with pain and activities is always fun.

Woke up unaccountably early so enjoying the peace and quiet during March break to get some work done. Always fun working around the kid, when he's home. Do not envy those with non-school age kids or who homeschool trying to write and publish. 🖋️📖💰

Went to check pre-order on the Fourth Stage for A Thousand Li (www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDBBCJSJ/) and noticed preorders are lower than the previous book. Had to remind myself we are selling direct already, and have seen an increase there. Still, not certain how much of a drop we've seen...

My facebook reels are being flooded with AI scams.🖋️📖💰 It's always worth asking, if they are making X amount so easily doing Y; why aren't they just replicating X again and again? If it takes you 15 minutes to make an AI book that generates $40k; why not do that? In an hour, you'd make $120k.

Some days, I amuse myself. From A Thousand Li. “See it?” the question was asked innocently, but the subtle hint stood there like an oxen in the middle of a marketplace, unwilling to move and defecating all around. Drawing attention and causing chaos in their conversation.

Up early(ish) today and writing and editing. It's a Sunday, but that's life as an Indie Author 🖋️📖💰(at least for me). I try to do a little bit everyday, rather than a lot at once. It's what works for me both physicaly and mentally. Too many words in a single day and I feel exhausted aftwards.
