    Weekly Update #250

    Hello Readers.

    Isn’t how funny how some weeks go?

    Compared to the previous week, work was slow and you’d think I’d get a lot of creative stuff done. Nope. Outside of a little editing, I really didn’t much of anything creative done – or at least that is how it felt.

    I got a full revision of both “The Wish” and “Marionette” done. I’m thinking of doing an audio recording of them to see how they read before I do another round.

    In addition, I looked over five other stories (three previously published and two still in development) and decided that I need to do audio recording on all five before I continue on there.

    For a bit of a change of pace, I’ve been trying to beta Read “Fire and Dreams” by Cecilia Agetun. I’m only two chapters into it, but it does look like it will be a fun read.

    Finally, the latest vlog has been published.

    That is it for this week, take care everyone.

    Don’t forget: My Time Among the Elves is available for pre-order.

    Interesting in buying one of my books? You can get more information here.
    You can support my writing at Ko-fi.

  11. Simon Trewin obituary

    Literary agent who established the Garage Press and a volunteer-run community education centre In 2016, the literary agent Simon Trewin, who has died of a brain tumour aged 60, received a copy of a manuscript by Paul Lynch, a Limerick-born author with two respectfully reviewed novels behind him. No publisher wanted his third. “I want to save your career,” Trewin said. It took 14 months to make the deal. Grace became the Kerry Group Irish novel of the year 2018. Five years later, his confidence boosted, Lynch won the Booker prize for his dystopian parable Prophet Song. Trewin was the first person he acknowledged: “Thank you,” Lynch said, “for being my consigliere.” Continue reading...

  13. Want to Earn More with Your Writing? Have We Got The Seminar for You!

    All spring we’ve been counseling writers who have come to realize that going wide with ebooks is not bringing in the kind of income that the writers had hoped for. The days off to all the retailers and making a small fortune are gone. Now, writers need to expand their horizons even more, doing other […]…

    How do you know when to shut the f**k up

    Teaching people to filter their words is very difficult if they don't understand the concept. I am a very forward person but when the situation grants for silence, I know when to shut up. Some people have no filter, at all and it is sad to say that it would only make sense to know when to say what you mean when in a proper situation. There are certain triggers that affect people and if you know the person well enough, you should know these triggers. Why is it that some people continue to […]

  17. "What , our dubious white ally, does so often to marginalized creators. They want the credibility of our identities, want to market our biographies. They want to sell our suffering, smoothed down and made palatable to the white readers they prioritize. To assuage white guilt with stories that promise to make them better people, while never threatening them, not even with discomfort. They have no investment in our voices. Always, our voices are the first sacrifice at the altar of marketability.

  22. The AI-authorship debate is bollox.

    The LLM-versus-human debate has been raging for several years now, and there seem to be two principal camps: human exceptionalists and agnostics. I suppose there may also be a small, misanthropic faction, but its members are remarkably quiet.
