Sins of the Father has been out a month. Results are beyond expectations. It grows in readership daily, spreading joy to entertain. That's what writing is all about. Ending 2025, I look forward to what comes next in 2026. #sinsofthefathernovel #writerscommunity #fictionwriting

I manage and write my own posts. Am I the only one who finds it disingenuous and wrong for AI or fake paid writer accounts to post? I'm all for marketing approaches, but honesty still counts, right? #writerscommunity #authors #writerslife #fakeXaccount #honestyfirst

My next book out is a children's book. Specifically, a request from mine to complete the WIP. A departure from my adult thriller books, yes, but something they can read. What did I do yesterday? Words added to a dark thriller WIP outside my current series. Couldn't help it. 😬

As the New Year approaches, I am thankful to see my novel Sins of the Father flourish. For anyone struggling as a writer, may 2026 be your year to shine. Never give up. Never let anyone tell you no. You can do it. #sinsofthefathernovel #NewYear2026 #writerlift #NeverGiveUp

What book comes next? The spine chilling question my family asks me. "The children's book is next. But, I've got 2 different thrillers halfway done. And, book 3 for The Carmichael Trilogy almost done. So, who knows." I wish I could pause time. #sinsofthefathernovel #WriterLife

So...I spent yesterday working on the book that follows my recent release, Sins of the Father. I'm supposed to be diligent on the children's book that comes out next. My insanity never ceases to amaze me. 🤪 #writerscommunity #AuthorLife #AuthorsOfTwitter #sinsofthefathernovel

Excited as sales for Sins of the Father keep growing. The hype has also seen my first novel in the series, Pandemic-19, get more sales. Enjoy the story, relish in the adventures of the characters. #sinsofthefathernovel #writerslife #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter #pandemic19

Watching eBook read stats go up and up is insane to fathom for Sins of the Father and Pandemic-19. Amazon hosts them. Seeing retailers and bookstore orders for physical books for that distribution channel creep up? A huge grin.😃 #sinsofthefathernovel #pandemic19 #AuthorLife

2026's first episode of Talking Indie Books is here! In this episode I review an awesome literary graphic novel. youtu.be/ysa6ytpsx0E?si…

Another day. Explaining to my son all that an author has to do beyond just writing, it left him speechless. 🙄 #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter #writers

It's nice when you meet new people who ask about you being a writer and their eyes brighten up at the story. Makes it so worthwhile to share conversations. #WritingCommunity #writerslife #authentic

The Journey it Takes jason-mcdonald.com/2026/01/27/the…

The amount of garbage on Twitter, I won't call it X, is beyond ridiculous. Seeing writing community posts from people are getting lost in the ugly haze. I just want to see what other authors are up to, that's all. #WritingCommunity #AuthorLife #twitternotX #friday #novelist

The Devil Is In The Details, Or Lack Thereof... jason-mcdonald.com/2026/02/20/the…

Tea to drink as I scroll and catch up with the #writingcommunity. Not a bad way to start a Monday to see what everyone is up to today.

I have realized over the years, it is not the quantity of followers here, but the quality. Some want numbers just to boost status. Then, rarely if ever engage. I like to see what people are up to and respond when I can. Not a bot like some. But hey, I do what I can. 🤪

2 days home with a sick child does not bode well for writing time. Time to crack open one of my WIPs and get back to work. So close to the finish line with 2 of my books. Just. Need. To. Focus. 🙄 #WritingCommmunity #AuthorLife #AuthorsOfTwitter

Yesterday was productive on the children's book WIP. Told my son and he was excited as he REALLY wants to read it since my published fiction is targeted for adults. Back to it today. Go Thursday! #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter #authorlife

Mid-week. Took some time off to regroup the thought process. Back to the grind of writing. Plus, the soccer team I coach. First match to prepare for. Go team!
