Got started on the story art for my horror short story collection. #art #horror #writing #drawing

Finally finished the print copy of my horror short story collection Nightmares at Midnight. Now I’m working on the artwork. PDF is available as an eArc for anyone who would be interested in reviewing. I’m trying to build word of mouth. #writing #author

Stealing from @diannalgunn.bsky.social what did I do to make Carrie Fisher proud today? I’m running for office. Me and my wife putting the first two signatures on my petition to get on the ballot.

I’d say I’m crushing my first paralegal class @laurelhightower.bsky.social

Just finished Star Wars: Jedi Survivor an hour ago. I hope @kendallreviews.bsky.social game stops freezing cause the story is fantastic.

You’re a very bad man.

Why can’t I stay?

Going outside my normal genre with this one. God Killer is dystopian fantasy about Melody Everett, a girl who learns she has the power to kill Gods, not long after the world learns of their existence when the Greek God Nemesis kills Jesus Christ. What do we think? Would you read it?

Me and my new shirt I made went to the store.

Newspaper clipping from the game Wolfenstein the New Colossus. Peep that last paragraph.

Swiftle #1046 🔊🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ techyonic.co/swiftle First guess. Too easy. Not to go listen so I can hear the whole song.

Writing to fight off the existential dread.

Someone please explain to me why as I’m working on editing and formatting this short story collection. While also drawing art for said collection another story kicks down the door to my brain this morning full realized and screams WRITE ME NOW!!!

Finished story art page from the video I posted yesterday.

Hand drawn art for my short story collection. Every story is going to have a hand drawn title page. This is for a story called “Squish”

All time favorite tv show in gif form.

It’s gonna be a rough day make sure to take time for yourself. Occupy yourself with things you love to watch, read, or do. I’m making beef stew and then continuing formats and edits on my short story collection. Doubt I’ll even turn on the television today.

You can’t see the snowflakes because they’re fine but it’s been snowing here for 3 straight hours. The road was clean when it started. Where was this on Christmas?

Crying while formatting my new short story collection with InDesign. I’m feeling every bit of my 42 years old while trying to learn and use this program.

I wish I woke up early enough for #5amwritersclub can there be a 10 pm writers club for those of us who can’t get to work until after all their children are in bed…

Why is it I always think about how great it’s gonna be to sit down and write pages until I actually sit down to write said pages… #booksky #author

Here is my current first page from my manuscript What Happened to Abby McGee. A 17 year old girl is dead from a botched exorcism but was she actually possessed…

Is it really Thanksgiving if you don’t get burned!

Me and two of my kids, ages 6 and 4 had family drawing/coloring time yesterday.

Are you really writing a book if you don’t restart it at least 3 times…

Woke up at 7:30 this morning… which is usually when I leave to take the kids to school. Got four kids ready in 17 mins by time I only had two kids left to drop off we were back on schedule… How am I supposed to write after this?

I’ve been trying to write 2,000 words a day for 3 days and have yet to hit it… not a good portent. Damn this ADHD.

Blood sugar is all over the place again. So I guess it’s time to take a walk before sitting down in front of the computer and getting today’s words in.
