Started posting "AVIAN" on Radish via @radish_fiction

If you want to read a chill cute first contact LGBT+ romance story, this could be it.

I spent the whole of 2024 reading alien romance and thought what the heck, let’s write one. https://t.co/RxsVkJgE6z

Dark Horse takes seriously the allegations against Neil Gaiman and we are no longer publishing his works.

Confirming that the Anansi Boys comic series and collected volume have been cancelled.

Posted my first chapter of the year.

I have a finished book scheduled for posting until 2026 January. Two other projects both have less than 14 chapters combined for me to finish them.

Hoping for a less chaotic writing year all around!

@Tw00ny When readers don’t like to read 😭

[🌾Beau Van Dalen | Author, 30+ Novels 💕 @BeauVanDalen]

I’m back with many things in the works! 🥰

In 2025, I want to grow as an author—I will be writing a lot for my 5 million words challenge and releasing new chapters every day on my P🟠 !

Here is what reading 70 books in 2024 looks like🥳

Yes, I am happy.
Yes, I have had a 9 to 5 job for majority of this year.
Yes, I go outside. My friends actually say I travel a lot.😄

Reading, for me, is like breathing. I just do it. I just do it.

Happy holidays.❤️

[Saint Caliendo @SaintcWrites]

@Alexander_Shaq Thank you. ❤️

[Saint Caliendo @SaintcWrites]

And just like that 76,500 words of AVIAN has been written and the draft marked as complete.

I wanted to finish a book this year, and I did!

[Twoony @Tw00ny]

I think the hardest part about being an author for me atm is accepting that my most popular work isn't my favorite or the one I'm most proud of. And while I may not ever understand why, I'm still grateful it's there to let me continue writing and trying to do better.

[Saint Caliendo @SaintcWrites]

@Tw00ny Watching the evolution of your writing while having past work still up is sort of painful, but it’s the reason you can make money, and it’s the reason people read your new work! So all those jumbled feelings even out in the end (at least for me.)

[SLUG @generalslug]

almost 4000 likes lol. insane that “violent edgy guy with the sensibilities and resentments of a seven year old” is an increasingly common type of person

If monster/alien romance is your jam. Feel free to give it a try: https://t.co/RxsVkJgE6z

[Saint Caliendo @SaintcWrites]

Avian has been on Radish for a month (by tomorrow) 7.2K views in that time after almost two year hiatus and little promotion is insane to me!

Happy that my first full scale sci-fi project is being received well. Three chapters (6000-9000 words) left until the end. ❤️

[Saint Caliendo @SaintcWrites]

I have to cook up two updates by Sunday. 🥹

[Saint Caliendo @SaintcWrites]

I hate when I’ve been writing for an hour and I check the word count and it’s like 300 words lmfao.

[Saint Caliendo @SaintcWrites]

@mmichelewilly It’s like YA (especially romantacy) is gearing itself towards adults that just got into reading if that makes sense.

[Saint Caliendo @SaintcWrites]

@mmichelewilly I think this is mostly because it seems like it’s adults reading YA now. YA MCs are also getting older. When I was growing up it was normal to pick up a book marketed to YAs and the characters were 14-16 now they’re all 18-20, and sometimes 17.

[Caroline J. Trussell- LIBERATED is Officially Out! @carolinejtrulit]

🧵 6/?
We need to understand that YA authors are not going to be writing for an adult audience. The writing should not be extremely literary and flawless. We are not writing adult literary fiction. The writing should be fun, accessible and understandable.
