Dropping two chapters this weekend - lets see how that last twist plays out!

After a little break to get some things in order, read up to where I have written, and prepare for Part 2, Respawn Protocol is back in draft. Another week or so for the next chapter on RR. #Fantasy #SciFi #LitRPG #RespawnProtocol #RoyalRoad #FantasyAuthor #5amwritersclub

Now that Respawn Protocol is entering Part 2, I've been revisiting every chapter and ensuring I don't, dare I say it, forget any loose threads. Sorry for the delay, I am starting the next chapter today. Until then, feel free to revisit the previous chapters, now with edits and updates!

Got 20 minutes? Check out Respawn Protocol and tell me what you like, don't like, hate, want more of, need to know. I got 20 minutes for yours. Drop a link in the comments! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1343... #Fantasy #LitRPG #LookingForArtist #NotAISlop #5amwritingclub #FantasyBooks #Scifi

Next chapter of Respawn Protocol is almost ready. Holidays added a week or two to the release cycle, sorry! In this next chapter, we continue the Tenfold Traverse. This level is a supe'd up version of DKC's mine run www.royalroad.com/fiction/1343... #Fantasy #LitRPG #SciFi #Writing #5amwritersclub

I'm trying to write things that are hard to write. With two years of experience now, its getting easier, but its not easy. I need to find/make a group for critiquing manuscripts. I think that is the key to success here. #WritingThoughts #Writing #Authors

Readers of #SciFi and #LitRPG - What draws you to the genres? What are you're favorite ideas to explore? Which ones do you hate? I am an author working on my second book, a mix of both. Like #Hitchhiker'sGuide meets #DungeonCrawlerCarl Would love to know what you think!

Chapter 5 of Honor's End is now out on Royal Road @ www.royalroad.com/fiction/1344... I know I released some chapters on Respawn Protocol yesterday, but this book just needs edited and released. Enjoy! #Fantasy #Writing #5amwritingclub #fantasyauthor #demons #thriller #mystery #firstbook

Respawn Protocol, Chapters 4 & 5 now available on RoyalRoad @ www.royalroad.com/fiction/1343... This crazy adventure has been amazing to write and receive such great feedback on. Thank you to everyone enjoying it with me! #Writing #Fantasy #FantasyWriting #LitRPG #SciFi #Respawn #Protocol

Chapter four has grown a mind of its own and is running away... give me a few days.

Working on Chapter 4 of Respawn Protocol. Just about ready to release it. I'm pretty excited for the next challenge.

Bored and got 10 minutes to spare for an adventurous chuckle?Check out my LitRPG: www.royalroad.com/fiction/1343... #LitRPG #DCC #Fantasy #FantasyWriting #FantasyAuthor #SciFi

The final major edit of The Demon of Capra Town is done! Going to go through it one last time for syntax, then put a bow on it. The artist for the cover is working on it now. Once finished, I am going to do a small Kickstarter for pre-orders. More on this soon!

Got my first sketches of the book cover yesterday. The artist is great. Getting very excited.

Well, I guess I'm not allowed to write today... #5amWritingClub guest star

Good morning #5amWritersClub Wrapping up this book, I learned something important about outlining the next. Scene outlines would be better explaining how the character or plot is going to evolve, rather than the milestones and general actions. Both is better, of course. But the first is important

If you haven't checked out #DungeonCrawlerCarl you really should. Amazing series by @mattdinniman.bsky.social I started the first Audiobook last Saturday. I am finishing book 5 right now, 8 days later. They aren't short, just can't put them down. soundbooththeater.com has B1 in full audio drama

Good morning #5AMWritersClub! Editor feedback, WattPad comments, and an audience materializing without me doing any real marketing.... Any moment now, I'll be flooded with notifications. Right? Yeah, not going to happen - what kind of activities are you doing to grow your audience?

Good morning, Just wanted to drop a link to the first three chapters of The Demon of Capra Town. www.wattpad.com/story/389216... Would love to hear what you think! Full book available: Who even knows... couple weeks? #Fantasy #Novel #Medieval #Dark #DnD #WritingCommunity #FantasyAuthor

You know what really #GrindsMyGears - when you fill out an enormous, time consuming online form. Then, at the end, they give you a "More Info" link that when clicked takes you off site and totally resets your form. #Developers - Use `target="_blank"` to open a new tab. This is rudimentary stuff...

Good morning #5AMWritersClub, Today, an update on my upcoming #fantasy #novel: The final edit round of The Demon of Capra Town is well under way. I would like to release the first chapter soon as a "demo". Any suggested sites? 12 Chapters, ~75 scenes. ~110K words

Good Morning, #5AmWritingClub - Can you describe your book in one sentence? My upcoming #fantasy novel describer is my bio. Reminder: People asking for your manuscript on here are likely scammers crossing from twitter. Its rampant and ridiculous.

Goodness it's been a busy few weeks! Fancy dinner for our firm tonight, then back up in the morning for some #fantasy #writing I'm so close to finishing this last edit of The Demon of Capra Town. But my brain is mush. Two chapters to go and one scene that is fighting me. Plz Halp

I think I am going to add some one-off, grade school level horror #novellas between my major #fantasy novel installments. I have some great stories that need told, but just won't fit into the Multiverse of Kaddrom (well, anything can, but it just wouldn't vibe right). I was a #Goosebumps kid...

Dear aspiring #authors, The #publishing industry is problematic, including #selfpublishing. Agents, editors, scammers - so many middle-people. Write your own book, market it yourself, get your own artists. You do the hard parts. They take the lion's share. I know the solution. Follow for more.

Good morning #5AmWritingClub - remember, don't send your manuscripts to anyone that comes through your DMs, they are scammers. You aren't finding your first publishing agent and editor combo out of the blue on a random Tuesday at 4am your time, no intros. Super gross, and waste's everyone's time.

Guess my #pyrador doesn't like when I travel. He's 100lbs...

Good morning, #5amWritersClub What are you writing? What's your goal today?

So many interesting things to #write about. Took this picture a moment ago. #fullmoon #fantasy #fablewoodpress

It's low quality because I made it myself lol #Fantasy #WritingCommunity #5amWritersClub

Looking for some #fantasy #audiobook recommendations. Dark, gritty high-fantasy. I'm an old #dnd head, as well, and always enjoy some good campaign-style novels.

Over the long weekend, I wrapped up the "final rough draft". Now, I #amediting with the #5amwritersclub - if you are stuck, have writer's block, or need to bounce ideas around, reach out to the community here, everyone's pushing each other forward in a positive way.

Happy Thanksgiving, #5amWritersClub, hope its both productive and enjoyable. I try to write every day, even holidays.

No news, but a recap. Six Studio is still involved with developing both the Riftwar and Empire series in TV and film projects. I did something stupid and screwed up my left hand, so no progress on the next book. But life goes on. Safe travel everyone and enjoy the holiday.

Good morning, #5amWritersClub - 4:30am means a little Stardew Valley before I begin writing. Currently sitting at 76K words on my manuscript, and it looks like I will hit an even 100K as I wrap up this new ending. Endings are scary to write. #Fantasy #Author #Writing #WritingCommunity

And so we begin, #5amWritersClub Its 5am, and I have about 4k words I want to crank out by 7am. Good luck!

Ok everyone, be careful out there today
