  1. We're getting close! The campaign runs through the 28th, and we are currently at 86% funded. A few folks picking up the full package (both paperbacks and ebooks) would get us there. Several folks coming in for the ebooks... or one paperback... or a paperback and ebook combo... you get the idea.

    And if you can't support or aren't interested, signal boosts are wonderful things, too!

    Carolyn is a junior in college, and she wants to live her life. Enjoy her time in college, have fun with her sorority sisters, and even spend time digging in to her special interests for her major.

  5. We're closing in on the end of the pre-order period for Missed Fortunes.

    It's the middle book of a trilogy, but you won't have to wait long for book three; it's coming end of summer!

    This is so not a plot snippet, but I happen to love Trish and Del a lot for totally different reasons, and this meeting was fun to write.

    Pick up your copy of the book (and of the first book if you haven't already) at buff.ly/3EJ4UhT

    As well as all the other excellent suggestions you've had, take a look at

    Not all as active as the others, but worth following for the occasional post.

  8. That moment when you put the first scene's word count into the Sheet Of All Things™ and it coughs out a predicted end date.

    Yes, I started the draft of the final book #today whoop! And I'll finish on the 21st May, apparently, although since that's based on a grand total of 0.6% of the scene count, I won't be trusting it just yet.

  11. #today is the day the WIP became... um...whatever comes after WIP. Work That's Published? Well, certainly Work That's Up For Preorder (a bit clunky, possibly).

    Sharing here cos I know you'll get my excitement.

    And soon, there'll be a new WIP! Yay.

  14. Who has been to Westercon? Is it fun? I think I probably will not be going across the country for Readercon this year (which makes me very sad), so I'm trying to find more ways to meet writers in person on the west side of the country (US).

  15. The thing about writing is how devastatingly lonely it is.

    I've spent thirteen years trying to find a writing group after my MFA program ended. I finally found one. They're all good writers, most of them are also MFA graduates. They _love_ my realistic fiction. They seriously don't understand my speculative fiction. And that's what I want to write. That's what I'm going to write. So where can I go from here? (Genuinely asking.)

    Is your MC responsible for anyone else?

    Only everyone. He knows he is the one fated to cause the Great Flood. #Enki #Mythology #SumerianMythology #SFFWriters

    Gurgling water. The conversation of fish. Paeans sung by the priests. The sounds of sex. Oh, the joys of being the god of water and semen. #Enki #mythology #SumerianMythology #SFFWriters #Slipstream

  23. I wrote one fun chapter and am now writing a real slog of a chapter. I wonder if readers can tell which ones take a lot more work? #Writing #AmWriting #SFFWriters #WritingCommunity

    He lives in the water, so the aqueous colours of frogs, fish, turtles, and reeds. #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters

  29. I finished another chapter of my novel today. I wasn’t sure I liked it until I read it out loud. Yes, I do like it. I’m at the point in my book where the plot is speeding along like that big rock chasing Indiana Jones. The Great Flood is imminent. #Writing #WritingCommunity #CliFi #GreatFlood #Slipstream #Mythology #SFFWriters

  34. Yesterday I completed a sample copyedit for a YA novel...

    Sample edits are useful to both writer and editor.

    They let you (the writer) see how I work, what I'd change and why, and you can decide whether I'm a good fit.

    They let me (the editor) get an idea of how you write and how long the job will take me - so I can provide an accurate quote.

    #writers (particularly #SFFWriters!) get in touch for a sample edit!

    (Max 2k words from the middle of your MS)
