#BBNYA2025 Panelists' thoughts on Death of a Timeline by @CourteneyWrites

"I find the style of writing engaging."
"The writing style is quite crisp and builds both the suspense of the situation as well as the world quite well."

I also have a website (linked on profile) where you can find my next player-choice story. I drop you into the settings of my first book, Death of a Timeline, and we can see if you'd survive. We're just doing some set up...

Haven't written much in the last week, but around the middle of the month I did hit the 30k words milestone for Draft 1 of Book 2 of the Dythoids series. I'm approaching the end of Part 1, so that's exciting. I'm doing a lot more complete rewrites than I expected, but that's okay

we need to bring back words like wastrel, rogue, ruffian, ne’er-do-well. there is an epidemic of miscreants doing shenanigans and we have lost the vocabulary to describe them.

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

Since this, I've written about 26k words, 1/4 of my goal word count for draft 1.

I know I don't get much traction here anymore (w/ good reason) but my 1st book is ranking the highest since launch & it would be neat to break Top 100 in a category again 💕

Started the evening of writing by dragging out a map for my whiteboard, and ended it learning about the Stalacpipe Organ in Luray Caverns. I imagine experiencing it is haunting in the best way.

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

What is happening on the bigger stage right now is so reminiscent of every single time I've fallen for the ploys of a manipulator. On one hand, it's extremely frustrating & aggravating to have so many people defending this shit, but on the other there is a degree of understanding

We don’t all have to like the same books. In fact, that’s a lot of the beauty of reading. And even more beautiful is finding a book you enjoyed, coming back to read it later, and finding you love it even more.

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

You can also stop by my website, btw. I'm also working on building up a list for email newsletters, in case you're over social media.

1 hour until #StoryCrafter chat! It’s the first week of the month so we’re gonna have a roleplay chat! Pick a character from your WIP to answer as and join us!

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

@CSaundersWrites Weekly writing chats are getting into a good rhythm over there. The only one I recall seeing come up for me here lately is Story Crafter.

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

@CSaundersWrites A lot of writers, artists, and folks in the TTRPG spaces have moved there, sometimes deleting their accounts here. Those are the communities I engage with the most, so I've had a fun time.

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

@CSaundersWrites I actually have a fake name for my register sign in because some dudes are creeps. I had it as Cor at one point and this really pushy guy was making me uncomfortable, wanting my name. I refused, but he felt he won when he read the receipt and singsong said "Thanks, Cory!" 🙄

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

Ah, retail and your random marriage proposals from total strangers.🙃

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

It's hard to balance paying attention to the state of things w/ pacing myself for the long haul of this. I'm finally stepping out of the last stretch where I had run myself into the ground, & I'm refusing to do that to myself again. Eyes are open, but I can't be at the front atm.

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

I love when pieces fall into place while researching and writing. I can't wait for readers to find this silly reference that, as it turns out, makes a lot of sense in the context of the story. I'm sitting here laughing that I might actually pull this off.😂🛶💙📚

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

@CSaundersWrites Yes. *sigh* To be fair, when this sort of thing happens, usually it's just the middle age+ guys from the local bars asking if I want to go for a bike ride in the park or come home with them and they'll make me fresh garden tomato salad. This is only the 2nd time marriage came up.
