Bought an amplifier and microphone for my 2nd hobby. Just made enough $$ in May from my YT audiobook channel to pay for them. Need to hurry up and create the next story as an audiobook to pay for a guitar to go with them. That's my motivation. What's yours as an author?

Penguin/Random House trial revelation 2024. Only 2% of revenue spent on marketing. One in five books sell less that 12 copies. Sorry to be negative. Happy querying. #writingCommunity

Worst and misunderstood advice on writing. "Show don't Tell" Care to discuss? #WritingCommunity

J.J.J Tolkien did not invent Fantasy in 1954 with Lord of the Rings. There I said it, so maybe now some who believe this will stop saying so?.

More bad writing advice and generally misunderstood. Write what you know. Discuss #WritingCommunity .

Fiction writers. Do you consider your life has been interesting enough to sit down and write an autobiography? #WritingCommunity

Are you of an age when one of your parents would sit you down as a teenager reaching puberty and tell you about "The birds and the bees?" Have you experienced this?

Whoopee. I've gone from being stuck on a 1st chapter of a new WIP, to getting 6 down this week. Got to be worth a like.

This one is for the women. When I see a couple mutually holding hands, I think, how sweet. But when I see a woman walking with arms folded or by their sides and the man with his hand at the small of her back, I think. Possessive control freak. How does it make you feel?
