Peek behind the scenes of prep. for Book Fair Australia 2024 (and my writing environment too!) #indieauthor #selfpublishing #scifibooks #fantasybooks youtu.be/zg4DKOv_-Do?si… via @YouTube


Daniel David Wallace's Escape the Plot Forest summit, 2024, starts in a couple of hours' time. forest.plotsummit.com I'll be there! Free to attend, but paid tickets are well worth it (they let you watch any talk at any time, after they've happened). #writing #authors


I think as more business people realise #ClimateCrisis is going to hurt them financially, they'll counterbalance Big Oil etc who are blocking action. The timescale is now just years, to start implementing the solutions: youtu.be/Vl6VhCAeEfQ?si…


Well, completed my fourth edit of the MS for Cold Heart and sent to @theditors before 9am Sydney time, so technically I think I can claim I met my Sept 1 deadline as they're in the UK...


Oof! Edits noted, 500 pages. Tomorrow: updating the MS for Cold Heart with all the changes. Then sending to @theditors Now: my monthly newsletter to write! #selfpublishing #scifinovel #fantasynovels #leeth

Reading the printed copy (for edit #4 of the MS) is the edit I enjoy the most. Final polish before sending to @theditors this Sunday. (156k words: 500pp, vol 2 in my Leeth Ascending series) Hoping to be able to launch at Book Fair Australia, Nov 2-3. bookfairaustralia.com

Finished my 3rd edit of my MS for Cold Heart, just before midnight. Gives me 2-3 days for a final edit, this time of a booklet-printed version, before sending to @theditors September 1 (midnight, no doubt!) @bookfairaus launch? #ampublishing #amwriting #leeth #scifibooks #fantasy


1st draft of Cold Heart: completed: 156k words. (And here's a screenshot of my word count tracking over the last several weeks.) #amwriting #ampublishing #leeth #scifi #fantasyreads

Update on Cold Heart: the MS is now at 154k words. I have one final small scene to write, to meet my Aug 14 deadline/milestone. (Feeling very happy with my last few days’ work!) #amwriting #ampublishing #leeth #scifi #fantasy


(Why is it called "a writer's retreat" when you're charging ahead?!) Update on Cold Heart: MS now at 139k words. 11 more scenes to write, to meet my Aug 14 deadline. I don't think it'll quite fit into 140k words. 😅 #amwriting #ampublishing #leeth #scifi #fantasy


Over the last ten years - thanks to infiltration by Tea Party craziness, and Murdoch and FB profiting from 'angertainment'? - it seems the GOP's become weird and creepy; not in a fun, Addams Family way, but in a Handmaid's Tale, peer-through-bedroom keyhole kind of way. #politics


For readers of #Leethwho follow me: news on Cold Heart. I'd hoped to finish it in 2021; but a ‘little’ side project took a whole year, & CH proved super tricky. (43 big challenges!) But I'm now on track for Nov 2; MS at 133k words; trying to fit into 140k. 1st draft due Aug 14.

Despite my tight deadline - I need to write about 20k words for #Leeth over the next 2 weeks - this interview with the biologist Michael Levin on @TOEwithCurt Theories of Everything was helpful for my plotting, and fascinating youtu.be/c8iFtaltX-s?si… #science #biology #cognition


I admire Joscha Bach (@Plinz) *so* much. I've never heard anyone else address such deep philosophical questions so concretely and pragmatically. Including, but very much not limited to, what gods are, how they worked, & what function they performed to us. youtu.be/cs9Ls0m5QVE?si…


I'd never thought to microwave an I've cube until today. Turns out it's not dramatic at all. #science
