For my WIP, I’m currently working on combining my fourth and seventh chapters. They don’t need to be separate.

I picked up #Scrivener again to compile my work for print. It has been a lifesaver!

What apps do you use to compile your work?

I’m a bit behind on #AuthorAugust. The weather here in Wisconsin has been kind of crazy. I also can’t check my commonly used words list at the moment, but off the top of my head, form or figure are used a lot.

“Vayen swings his legs from the bed to the floor with a leaden slowness. He wipes at the drool that’s leaked out the corner of his mouth and down the side of his neck while he was unconscious.”

This is the opening to chapter 3 of the novel I’m working on.

Doing Author August a bit late, but today’s prompt was to show my book’s aesthetic. This is a little snip of stuff that gives the vibe. #nexusofworlds #scifibooks #authoraugust

Just finished Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix.

It has reinvigorated my horror sensibility and design ideas that I can't wait to jump back into my own horror tales.

A fun fact about the MC of the book I’ve been working for longer than I’d like to think about: he drinks like a fish at the start of the story and carries around a lot of resentment towards certain people in his life.

So, trying to post more about my writing. I have a short story that was published in an Indie anthology (currently available on the Kindle marketplace. Check my pinned post) and I’m trying to get a book I’ve been working on for seventeen years in shape to get published.

The pull of void, the call of the abyss. Feeble attempts to scurry from that blasted FRONTIER. (Edge)

#wipsnips #authoraugust #writesky #UnderneathEverySmile
She took refuge on the couch as she manifested the energy to move to the final stop. Her eyes stared blankly without recognition, the glow of the computer screen finally gone as it too went to sleep. The only light coming from the red glow of the internet modem. A faint stop light doing its best to keep her seated. Transfixed, she went over all the past saving throws. All the leaps away from the edge when the intrusive thoughts lost sway long enough to be overcome in a burst of fragile self-preservation. None would apply now. Incompatible with the circumstances, no match for the pull of the edge.

Yee haw, I'm back in the saddle again. My characters are talking to me, and the story's taking shape! So glad to have author friends who won't write me off as a nutcase over my imaginary friends 😁
How's your writing week been?

trapped inside, no escape

#ThePact #WIPSnips #AuthorAugust
My eyes open but there is only blackness. I shout but my voice is eaten up by the dark as no echo, despite the vastness it feels I am occupying, reverberates to my ears. I reach out and feel a wall. It’s coarse yet smooth, tough yet gives way with a little force, rebounding if I push too far. I spin in circles. I am in a box. I scream but no noise comes from my mouth. I pound on the walls until a sound returns to me. A deep resonating clink-clank like a metal lever being turned. A small light emerges at the floor and a cup is pushed in. The liquid is deep purple and red as the light hits it. I reach for the chalice, my chalice filled with blood. As my hand touches the metal I feel something grasp me. It tears me away. Into the dark I fall.

Currently, I’m in the editing/rewriting phase. I’m through the first seven or so chapters. There were originally 32 chapters. Not sure if I’ll still have that many or more or fewer. I’m thinking more. Time will tell

I enjoy social media (a little too much) for its power to build an author community. My bi-monthly newsletter gets more reader feedback than my SM posts. How about you?

#Author August 25 Social Media or Newsletter? Porque no los dos? Picture of a little girl asking that question, from a TV commercial for hard and soft tacos.

I've got two horror novels way down the pipeline. One that centers on fatherhood and the other on motherhood.

I’m not sure about aesthetics for my WIP. I found a gif of what the sky in my WIP looks like pretty much constantly. Save for once a month when some rituals are cast and the people have sunlight for a day.

Morning writing or night time writing? I don’t really have a preference, just whenever I have the time.

#AuthorAugust Day 16: Today's Q is easy- Trad, indie or hybrid?

I am indie, 100%. I would love to be hybrid, but the opportunity would have to be perfect because I am not built for the trad pub process.

#authoraugust Day 7 - Do you read other books while drafting?
Yep. My reading habits don't change while I am writing. The only difference is that when I am writing romance, I read romance. Otherwise I read whatever sounds good.

Do I prefer drafting or or editing? I’m not sure. I like both. I think I prefer editing honestly (though some people in my writing group might think I’m lying 😂)

A day late, but for this #MainCharacterMonday, I will say that Vayen has (at least at the start of my novel) an albino complexion, though in my fantasy world, it isn’t called albino.

My novel #ThePact is slowly moving towards being 100% finished. The cover is coming along nicely 👌 and edits are on the way.

If you're interested, Part 1 is live on my #Substack.
