#MothersDay2026 Mother's Day is rapidly approaching, an unstoppable force no matter what you do. May I suggest a horror novella for your beloved matriarch?

There’s a High Chance If You Were Around in the 1980s, You’ll Remember the Children’s Book Series “Choose Your Own Adventure.

Unlike Every Book You’ve Ever Seen Up Until Then, You Didn’t Read it Front to Back. Instead You Were Faced With Choices After Being Presented With All Sorts of Random Dilemmas. Best of All, There Were Dozens of Endings So if You Didn’t Like Your Fate, You Could Always Try Again.

Tie your shoes first, because this book will knock your socks off.

I truly hope this is true (too lazy right now to fact check)

Good News:

After 20 years of declining numbers, indie booksellers have come "roaring back."

There are about 70% more bookstores now than there were in 2020.

The American Booksellers Association membership has grown from 1,900 to 3,200.

@basicbaka I have more experience in the job market over the past decade than I care to admit. This is the absolute worst I've seen it in that time, with the exception of the peak of COVID (and it's pretty damn close to it).

[J.J. Segwis @JJSegwis]

Important update: it was pretty terrible, lmao. All dialogue and scenery but no real feeling to it. Ah well, it can serve as a canvas as I work the emotional punch into it!

[J.J. Segwis @JJSegwis]

I haven't written anything honest-to-G-d new in nearly 7 months. Breaking that awful streak today.

[Steve Hostetler @SCHostetler]

If you are generating novels with AI, you are objectively NOT the author of those novels, and you ARE harming other writers. Garbage books flooding algorithms make it more difficult for good books to be seen.

[J.J. Segwis @JJSegwis]

@JoeBerne1 I agree. The Inkubator was a ginormous jumping off point for me.

[J.J. Segwis @JJSegwis]

@JoeBerne1 Then it basically becomes "are you willing to gamble that you'll definitely live 17 years (or more) longer".

@JoeBerne1 You are a victim of your own choices, much like the rest of us

@WightCrow I assume rejections with no feedback, yeah? If so, I just keep going. I'm very stubborn. (If there is feedback, then I consider re-drafting.)

[J.J. Segwis @JJSegwis]

Thrilled to discover https://t.co/ryGTeuv9lL exists! Looking forward to resubmitting 'Suburbia Abattoir' there as soon as the submissions open again.

[J.J. Segwis @JJSegwis]

So, how's everyone doing today

[J.J. Segwis @JJSegwis]

"But JJ, why should I buy this?"

Because it's good. And you enjoy good things. You DESERVE good things.

[J.J. Segwis @JJSegwis]

Remember, pre-orders are available now!
