Well, I now either have something on submission or something reserved for submission on October 1 when the market opens at all of the markets that I consider my top priorities to get into eventually. Except Lightspeed. They haven't been open since 2022. #AmWriting #AmWritingFiction #WritersOfMastodon #AuthorsOfMastodon #Bookstodon #ShortStory #Writer #Writing #WritersLlife #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity

Authors, some interesting results from the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi) latest research project and the The Big Indie Author Data Drop including:
75% of book sales were part of a series (fiction and non-fiction)
Self-published authors earn more than authors who are traditionally published.
Self-published female authors earn more than self-published male authors
LGBTQIA+ self-published authors earn more than heterosexual self-published authors
Successful self-published authors are not ‘agreeable'… and that's a good thing!
More facts and figures here: https://www.allianceindependentauthors.org/facts/

Authors, do you spend more than 50% of your work time on writing and publishing activities? If you're an independent author who does, the Alliance of Independent Authors is running a survey so they will be able to compare traditionally published author earnings to indie author earnings. The survey is also designed to spot the factors that most affect author income, the learnings from which will help indie authors optimise earnings in the years ahead. Please share.
To participate in the ALLi survey, head to:

#WritingWonders Day 27
27-Are there human rights issues in your world? If so, does your MC ever address them? MC1 doesn't care about anyone's problems outside of his own. He is convinced the world is out to get him. MC2 cares, and tries to help one person, but mostly she's trying to keep her children safe.

#WritingWonders Day 25
25-What tropes do you utilize in your story? That's a hard one. I'm not far enough along to answer that one yet. I imagine they'll become apparent as I write. I'm a pantser, so it unfolds as it unfolds.

#WritingWonders Day 24
24-Does food play a role in your book? Food can be hard to come by during certain times. Feeding her children is MC2's greatest concern. MC1 is also concerned, but gets distracted and often forgets.

#WritingWonders Day 23
23-Are any of your characters artistic or musicians?
MC1 is not. MC2 could be a writer but needs maturity and encouragement. One of their children is artistic. MC1's brother plays the guitar. MC2's brother appreciates art and music.

#WritingWonders Day 22
22-Describe a ritual or tradition from your world. As this is based in the mid-1970s southern US, the rituals and traditions are largely the same as now. Some hold more significance than others, and that will be demonstrated in the story.

#WritingWonders Day 21
21-How fair is your world?
MC1 feels that it is extraordinarily unfair - feels. MC2 recognizes that sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't, and that a lot of the times it's about what choices they make.#WritingWonders #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #AuthorsOfMastodon #AmericanSouth #Appalachia #WritersOfMastodon #AmWriting #WIP #MastoWriter #Mastowriters

#WritingWonders Day 20
20-How dangerous is your world? What are some of the dangers?
MC2's world is very dangerous. She has no port in any storm. Her kids aren't safe. She has no predictability, no safety nets, no guarantee even of feeding her children every day.

#WritingWonders Day 19
19-Describe your favorite side character and their relationship with your MC. Michael is my MC1's brother, MC2's BIL. He is complicated. I can't reveal too much here, but he will play an integral part in their story.

#WritingWonders Day 15
15-How does your MC feel around other people? MC1 is comfortable around "his" people but very uncomfortable around anyone he feels less than, for whatever reason. MC2 feels uncomfortable around almost everyone except a very select few.

-
#WritingWonders Day 14
14-Does your MC show their true self to others or wear a mask?
MC1 lives wide open. WYSIWYG. No masks, often to his detriment. MC2 wears a mask almost all of the time, even to herself.

#WritingWonders Day 12
12-What do your MC and antagonist have in common? Since my two MCs are each other's antagonists, they have each other and their common history. They have immaturity. They have egos. They have fear.

-
#WritingWonders Day 11
11-Introduce your antagonist.
My MCs are each other's antagonists as well as each other's champions. Their lives are complicated.

-
#WritingWonders Day 10
10-How would your MC's closest friend/confidante describe your MC? Kind? Rude?
MC1's closest friend is his brother. He'd say he's an asshole but loyal. He does what he thinks he needs to do in the moment. MC2 doesn't have close friends. She's pushed them away; she's just trying to survive.
