  4. And still at FanFiAddict, Ed was kind enough to invite me on for a little author chat about the new book, the new series, and why I'm so incredibly charismatic (yes I am I am)

  5. CW: Writing style

    Being as I'm on this new venture of adding a SciFi/future element to my taboo & fetish tales...I was debating switching up my style but decided to keep them as I typically write (some context and background, etc...but the sex scenes very primal/visceral, highly detailed & EXPLICIT and involve all 5 senses that the main character POV is experiencing within the scene.

  6. You can't edit what hasn't been written. The working title of my next book was literally "The Glob" for abt six months, bc I just glerbed stuff out of my head & into the Word doc. In partnership w/my editor, over time, I was able to rearrange the book in a way that made sense. Writer's block is sometimes a logjam of ideas. Let them out. Then start sorting. #AuthorsOfMastodon #author #WritingCommunity #AuthorChat #publishing #WritersBlock #WritingTips

  7. What if I hosted an #MgLit chat here on Mondays at 7 pm PST? Would anyone be into chatting about writing middle-grade books? #author #authorlife #authorchat #amwriting #librarians #libraries #kidlit @bookstadon

  8. Leaving TW comes w/heavy cost. As a self employed author, those 10.5K followers provided a revenue stream. That reach/audience is gone. I don’t have a day job. I don’t have a husband whose salary subsidizes my work. I also am sensitive to leveraging/monetizing this #fediverse. I’m a newbie who wishes to honor the community. But I also need to pay rent/eat.

  13. Since I’ve heard a lot of rustling about self-promotion here… what are your thoughts?

    I try to aim for 90% me being me, and 10% sharing about where to get my books because, well, I’m an author? Readers are my *favorite.*

    I’ve never felt particularly comfortable blasting sales messages, and just hope people connect with me and then want to buy the things I write.

    But is there specific decorum here people prefer? #writerdons #authorchat

  14. At my 1st newspaper job, I was asked to teach the staff how to use macs to create Harris type. Pagination is not the same. Mastodon is not Twitter. My content will probably revert to more pre-TFG twitter: tech, food, poetry, architecture, writing, art, energy/climate. This is a chance to pivot. I’m taking it. #twitterRefugee #change #renewal #author #community #authorChat

  15. "Zero to Production in Rust" walks you through to the steps of how to execute a deployment to a real PaaS quite early in the book - in chapter 5.

    There's a note of the end of the deployment chapter. It invites readers to email me a screenshot of the running app on DigitalOcean.

    Those emails never get old. A little token to remind me, every other day, that I have written something useful and it was worth it.

  16. All you amazing writers out there: what are you writing?

    I’ll go first.

    I’m writing a secondary world fantasy with lots of stabbing, spice, espionage, unpredictable magic, and crumbling kingdoms. #writingfantasy #writers #writing #authorchat #nanowrimo
