This seems like a good time to mention that I'm over on Tumblr. I post semi-regularly over there, and will (try to) be posting my Camp NaNo progress over there.

Every time I finish a novel—a miracle every single time!—I share this shirt guide to writing a novel I wrote a few years ago. Hope it helps!

@rosie_j_potter That's so exciting!

A writing career is a journey, not a thing with an end line. You take small steps and big steps, but there’s no “making it.” Small steps are necessary and big steps merely mark the first day of your new job/stage/chapter/whatever. That’s why the hustle never stops.

Dear Publishers:

Paying an author through an e-payment system is fine.

Deducting fees for said system from the author's money is not.

If, by the contract, I was supposed to get $500 but I only get $475 because of fees ... I did not get paid my contracted fee.

Don't hide your light away.
Let it shine through the darkness like a beacon, drawing the nameless things, misunderstood creatures, and forgotten folk towards your ramshackle castle of acceptance.

As of today, there are about half a dozen books being sold on Amazon, with my name on them, that I did not write or publish. Some huckster generated them using AI. This promises to be a serious problem for the book publishing world. https://t.co/YXcMlJeTMV

The world is getting smaller and creepier for writers.

As a writer who has dealt with many, many companies who have “standard contracts”, whenever anyone says “oh don’t worry about that tenuous interpretation of this clause, we totally would never do that”, they absolutely 1000% would and do, as soon as possible.

You know, there's no law against buying that beautiful notebook you have your eye on at the bookshop. You never have to open it. You can just put it on the shelf with the other unopened notebooks and know that you've helped that tiny bookshop make its rent.

You're a damn hero.

I freaking love this premise and just backed this anthology.

The door slamming was probably just the wind, and the banging at 2am was probably just old pipes, and you can’t afford first and last months’ rent plus a security deposit when you’re scrambling to pay bills already… https://t.co/XQ1vTK2E8d

Today I have learned that people don’t realize that content creators have to pay taxes 😂

The sickest bit, to me, is that Oceangate deliberately classified the tourists as “mission specialists” because killing crew is fine but killing tourists shuts you down.

Ryan Gosling reveals many men come up to him whispering about their excitement for ‘BARBIE’: "I’m like why are you whispering it? That’s cool. There’s something in it for the Ken’s."
