Indie author of the ongoing series: The Waking Worlds; The Patchwork Prince. My glass is half full and my mug is always empty.

@TheFigen_ Burn the witch! ... After she brings the beer, obviously.

@AgathaChocolats So, Mom bought a chicken...

OK #fantasy #readers & #writers. I give you a handful of clues, you give me a book title: High fantasy series, 10+ years old. Female protag has x3 shifter forms (wolf, bat, seal) and is a spy. A magical mishap turns another POV char / prisoner into a monster.

@the16stories Take your time and do it right. The readers you want to attract are the ones who appreciate your effort. Bad books are a crime against nature.

[André van Wyck @Andre_van_Wyck]

@lw_writes Amazon. Simply because that's where I get my reading material from. And also because I've never heard of Ingram or D2D.

@joyofcruising @brclothwrites What if the person who gave you the one star instead included a laundry list of things they didn't like about your book? Would that have been better? Or worse? (Seriously asking.)

[André van Wyck @Andre_van_Wyck]

@Livvieharps Sorry, I read strictly sci-fi and fantasy. But well done for asking. Writers should support each other with more than tweets.

[André van Wyck @Andre_van_Wyck]

@MaroftheBooks I put spaces around my m-dashes. N-dashes? Whichever is the longer one. And I put character third-thoughts in brackets when I run out of commas for imbedded second-thoughts.

[André van Wyck @Andre_van_Wyck]

@Livvieharps Coffee, Netflix, dogs, in that order. Why aren't 'books' on here?

[André van Wyck @Andre_van_Wyck]

@Cathyjhopkins At last count, the literary market is oversaturated by 2000% (yes, you read that right, no, there isn't a 0 too many). The only hope indie authors have to stand out (and survive) is for readers to stand up, even if all they say is 'Liked it.'

@Nicholas_Eames Saw this on a D&D meme board and it made me think of The Band...

@king_reinhardt I'm reading John Bierce's Mage Errant Series. He's the king of the eye-roll. There is literally no character who doesn't do it. Sometimes 3 times on the same page. With gems like: 'didn't even bother to roll his eyes' and 'only rolled his eyes harder'. 🤣🤣🤣

[André van Wyck @Andre_van_Wyck]

@king_reinhardt If it is well written, necessary and engaging, then there is no such thing as a cliché.

[André van Wyck @Andre_van_Wyck]

@RADennyAuthor NaNo is a very cool tool that forces you to sit down and concentrate on that WIP that doesn't want to flow. (Even though there really aren't any tools, force or rewards.) It's about the bragging rights. And the accomplishment, obviously.

@lhallwriter Phantom of the Opera? Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky?

[André van Wyck @Andre_van_Wyck]

@christyhelzner @PastorAlexLove Or fat Elvis?

[André van Wyck @Andre_van_Wyck]

@EmBonafide Well, that beautiful and dark play on word just gained you a follower. So, swings and roundabouts.
