I'm so happy to say that my debut self-publish novel, The Novel Killer, is out today. It's an experimental comedy-drama about an interview with a mysterious killer that "edits out" main characters from different stories. amazon.com/dp/B0BL6TJRLC?ref…
Been writing for an hour and a half today and I just hate every word I've written. #justwriterthings 🙃
Nearly 10k words into my next long form project and I'm hitting some big writer's block. I thought I could tackle this one with just minimal world building and a beat sheet because I don't like outlining. Perhaps it's time to rethink that and go back to the drawing board 🤔
Just picked up The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix today and I can't put it down. It has everything I love in a book in it: subversion, introspective narration, and a unique premise. Definitely recommend to my fellow horror movie fans out there. #amreadinghorror

You can do whatever the hell you want, but when it comes to writing, I strongly recommend going with the stuff that moves you. Write what you want to read. Don’t pursue trends. Don’t write what you think agents and editors want. Write what makes you happy. Always.

We all need an occasional reminder, so listen up. Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.
Great quote from Atomic Habits came up in Readwise today. Small wins keep me going, especially when it feels like my wheels are spinning. What small wins do my fellow writers like to celebrate? For me it's my weekly stories to /r/WritingPrompts every Friday. #WritingCommunity
This flash fiction story of mine has performed surprisingly well on reddit. Not entirely sure why because I wrote it in a hurry, but I'm here for it. 😄

Federal Bureau of Stories notice: If you are a main character within a book, beware that the notorious Novel Killer is still at large. But don't fret! Knowledge is power. Keep yourself informed by reading The Novel Killer to avoid any unwanted edits.

Every time I get a haircut I always want to say to my stylist "Oh, you're a lefty too?" and then I remember how mirrors work.
Finding the right opening scene for a novel is hard. I'm on my forth attempt already, and I expect many more 🙃. #WritingLife

My QOTD is for readers:
What is your favorite trope(s) and why?
I spent last month planning out my next book with the deadline to start writing it by this week. However, whenever I try to make myself write it I just can't seem to bring myself to do it. I wonder if this is even the book I want to even write next. 🤔
What do you use to write in? I think I've given up on Scrivener for now and have switched a mixed system of Obsidian for file management & linking notes, and then use iA writer for actually writing since it's so simple and focused.
Obligatory "I'm an author with a newsletter post." I'm actually really excited about tomorrow's edition (okay I'm excited about every edition). In this one I'm talking /r/WritingPrompts, manga, Japanese literature, and Korean Romcoms
