YAY EVERYONE!! So excited for you 😀🥳

Got an absolutely *crushing* wall of text of a rejection letter on my second R&R yesterday. Funny how you're always just one of those away from wondering why you even do this 'writing' thing. Regular form rejections, I mean. This was something else. So. Back to square one. Yeah.

Oh, a #WritingCommmunity reintroduction thing? On it like a bonnet! I'm Ant. I write queer SFF (all the tropes but make them gay) with a liberal application of whatever I fancy at the time, be it historical settings or murders most foul; or time travel and vampires. Quirky ones

A phrase I have dropped from my lexicon: show, don't tell. What I say instead: show AND tell. We need both. I have a blog post that will help you figure out when to show and when you need to tell. jenichappelleeditorial.com/post/how-to-es…

Re-upping #WriterBeware blog post because the scammers who were impersonating Acorn TV & other streaming services are still recruiting via DM for imaginary writing jobs, this time for Dove Channel. Presumed goal: stealing personal info #WritingCommunity writerbeware.blog/2023/03/24/ale…

re: AI-free moodboards Your visuals are setting a ✨mood✨and it's ok if they don't 100% match what your book looks like. You have a lot more options of ethical visuals if you focus on vibes and not details like a photo having the exact hair color of your MC or whatever.

New project! Why is it always spooky season that inspire me the most? Historical murder mystery with the two murder victims caught in a time loop. Set during their final night performing Romeo and Juliet.

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT X Good Omens Investigating the v suspicious, NOT accidental death of one's mentor isn't a doozy, but hard-of-hearing vampire Richard is undeterred. What do? Be gay, solve crime - and stop the killer before they target his mortal family. #A #MM #HF #PitDark

Yeah, so. I'm leaving Twitter. Come join me over on the blue place with none of the clouds...and weird bots... and stuff. Only good bots over there! I'm wordscollide.bsky.social . So long and thanks for all the fish 👋

Gonna go through the accounts I follow on here and hope there's a b***sky account I can follow instead. PSA: this account will be abandoned by the end of November, when I uninstall the app and only think back on the good times. See you on the blue side. ❤️🙏
