I got my royalty statement today for Possible Worlds & Other Stories. It is enough to buy cake, and as my publisher suggested, a bottle of bubbly!
It's not a lot of money, but earning ANY money from writing still amazes me.
THANKS to everyone who has bought a copy so far 💕
OK, trying tiktok for the third time.

David Crosby once discussed how pop groups in the 60’s had been trying to keep up with the ever increasing complexity of the Beatles’ music. Then came Sergeant Pepper’s and they collectively threw up their hands. They knew they’d never top that.
Along those lines, I’ve just finished a re-watch of Good Omens and am once again astounded at the genius of Neil Gaiman + Terry Pratchett. I can hope to write something good, but never as great as that.
Today I am thankful for editors that tell you when you made the shortlist—bittersweet but also some encouragement. #WritingCommumity #writing
I need to write more #haiku and #tanka but running low on inspiration #WritingCommumity

Any authors on here have any recommendations for books that will help me learn and improve my writing? Just started working through "Spellbinding Sentences" by Barbara Baig, and it seems to have some good ideas (or at least I think I like it's guiding philosophy)

My hot dentist asked for one thing for his anti-hero dentist by day, demon s😆x king by night...

Sullen clouds chase
rain-scented wind;
umbrellas blossom.

Hey #writers, ever feel like you have something profound to write but it's out of reach? That's how I feel today. Reaching but never able to actually attain my goal.
ashes to ashes
falling to the rhythm of
dusk to dusk to dusk

I put key words of my MS into an AI & was horrified to see just how close the AI came to my story. How do we feel about this? #book 😳😕☹️😩#WritingCommumity
