After nearly two months away from the beginnings of my outline for Shallow Trenches, Open Skies, I think I need to start over. I've just had a thought about a couple of my main characters that changes everything!

We're about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through Gas Giant Gambit's edits. I think we may finish this week! Then proofreading! And pre-orders! And author copies! And ARCs!
I can't wait!

I just discovered that during WWI, 7,000 family dogs were recruited to carry aid to the wounded and messages to the front line.
Shallow Trenches, Open Skies needs a messenger dog character.#scifi #sciencefiction #writer #amwriting #writingcommunity #writercommunity #writerstodon ##writersofmastodon #sff #worldwari #wwi

Just did an author interview for "The Stuff Legends are Made of" and RARE: A Dark Anthology of Unusual Secrets, coming out next month!
I'm not sure when or where it will be made public, but I'm sure I'll get that info before it does 😅#writer #writers #writersofmastodon ##writerstodon #read #readers ##readersofmastodon #readerstodon #sciencefiction #scifi #sff #books #bookstodon #booksofmastodon

My novel is coming out in a few months. So I'd like to get the community's opinion on something before I accidentally start marketing it or myself as something we're not.
It's being traditionally published, but by a tiny new indie press.
Does that make me an indie author?#writingcommunity #writerstodon #writers #authors #author #novel #indieauthor

Ha! With Rare: A Dark Anthology of Unusual Secrets coming out April 22nd, I officially have an Author Page on Goodreads!

Whew! Did it! Just under 2400 words total with some notes to add details as I edit later.
I don't know if this will be good enough to get me to the next round, but I'm proud of it.
Romance is wildly outside my wheelhouse, but I think I did okay.#shortstorychallenge2025 #writer #writers #writersofmastodon #writerstodon #sciencefiction #scifi

Ugh. Got a sore throat, a loud dryer 10 feet away, and a later start than I wanted.
But I've also got developmental edits for "The Stuff Legends are Made of" tomorrow, and only 4 days left to write 950 more words and edit the crap out of this short story.
Time to get to work.#writer #writers #writersofmastodon #writerstodon #sciencefiction #scifi #shortstory #shortstorychallenge2025

Working on my first new short story of the year! It's not a genre I like, I'm working under a strict deadline, and I've been writing mostly screenplays lately, so I'm a shade out or practice with prose.
But damn, it's always a treat to tell a story.#writer #writers #writerstodon #writersofmastodon #author #ShortStoryChallenge2025

It feels like an appropriate time to mention that my upcoming debut novel 𝘎𝘢𝘴 𝘎𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘵: 𝘈 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘉𝘦𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘺𝘨𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘙𝘪𝘧𝘵, coming Sept. 2025, is about how greed corrupts and leads to atrocities.
And that I'm working on a follow up novel I'm tentatively calling 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴, 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘚𝘬𝘪𝘦𝘴 about how xenophobia and hatred divide us.These subjects feel especially topical right now.

Even distracted by the Bruins on Hockey Day in Canada, I've managed to get my rough outline to the midpoint.
After Boston puts the Senators away (🤞) I need to do some research on the Third Battle of Ypres, but it's been a good day.#sciencefiction #scifi #sff #Writing #writer #writerstodon #writerofmastodon #amwriting #amoutlining #novel #wwi

And somehow, just like that, after a few weeks of struggling, I just came up with a rough outline for the first act of my WWI scifi novel in a little over an hour.
I'm starting to see the story. This is my favorite part.#scifi #sff #sciencefiction #writer #amwriting #amoutlining #writerstodon #writerofmastodon #novel #novelist #writingcommunity

It's taking time, and there have been a number of setbacks this week, but the WWI documentaries are helping me get into the minds of my characters and the situation they find themselves in.
A basic outline is slowly starting to form.#sciencefiction #sff #scifi #writer #author #writersofmastodon #writerstodon #amwriting #amoutlining #writing #outlining #novel #novelist

Help a poor writer out, #writerstodon—is there a collective noun for 'hands', as there is for 'fish' and for 'crows' etc? If not, what could be a collective noun for hands?

Really looking forward to when this #writing dread goes away or else I manage to smash it into a thousand pieces.
