Only 50 minutes to reach the goal! Have you backed the Kickstarter yet?

@jaredleys You need more Bucky O’Hare and his gunner Deadeye Duck.

More books should be about ducks.

@J0hnADouglas After having been jilted for Snape, this is a great casting choice. And his acting chops have only gotten better since Star Wars sequels. He'll do nicely.

…. You know what? I like this. God help me, think this will work (if true)

@RoboftheHayes Because I write with bluetooth keyboard on my iPad, you can magnify text on Scrivener, so font size doesn't matter. But I, too, use Palatino 13. Why not? (And I publish in Georgia font.)

OK, author brethren and sestren, I have a very important question for you all... What font do you write in? I'm pretty sure I'm a heretic because I write in Palatino at 13pt.

@MrManga1971 @iSamw1se Right on!

What an awesome edition. This little video does NOT do it justice, but it's a honest reaction. I can't wait to read it! Thanks @AndrewDMth! And thanks to @iSamw1se for having him on and letting me find this gem!

So you’ve been meaning to check out more indie authors. You may have mentioned this online or in person, but you’re not sure where to start. Well, boy, do I have a list for you! fanfiaddict.com/so-you-want-to…

@ztrussell @japan_nobunaga It’s an affectionate form of Meme Culture. Someday, that cafe will still be saying “Girl Cheese” and not remember exactly what started it.

@japan_nobunaga Some American friends and I do this with each other. We invented a game called “Don’t Correct Autocorrect.” Just let hilarious typos go through. Then use them again on purpose.

In Japan, mispronouncing a word gets you a polite correction. In Nashville, I ordered a "girl cheese" by accident. The waitress didn't blink. She yelled to the kitchen: "ONE GIRL CHEESE, LOADED!" The cook yelled back "GIRL CHEESE COMING UP!" I have eaten there 14 times since. It's on the menu now.

@brianbell7 One more reason to be mad I couldn’t go this year…

@JoeBerne1 I shall endeavor to keep them on track. Might have to display a few JCM Berne books behind me!

Will they get the answer right? I'm not sure yet! I'll tell you after.

What's that?! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's a wizard! Have you ever asked What's the Difference Between Magic & Superpowers? Well, @AndrewDMth, Gareth Hanrahan, @JoaoSilvaWrites, @paolini, Emma L. Adams, & Joel C. Scoberg will be talking all about it on Tuesday, July 28th, 2026 at 2PM CST. Don't be late! #fantasybooks #superheroes #tbrcon2026 #writers #writingcommunity #author

@RoboftheHayes @jdlrosell @zsdiamanti I’m only going to this shared dream experience to see if we can pull off an Inception Dream Heist. Level 1: book signing Level 2: we pull a director into each of our worlds and try and convince him to make a movie for each of us… Level 3: “need to know basis”

@jdlrosell @zsdiamanti @AndrewDMth You're real? I thought we were all just figments of each other's imaginations.

Making a rare appearance in the real world in this awesome panel! Come see me, @zsdiamanti, @AndrewDMth, and Michelle N. Hagood at The Tattered Cover bookstore in Denver on July 30th at 6pm MST. Free to attend - we just want to see your lovely faces! Hope to see you there.

@jdlrosell @zsdiamanti This is gonna be such a great party!

@imperialvox40k Murder Hornet’s energy of the chapter that has faced down and survived the murder hornets of the 41st Millenia (Nids)

I’m not surprised at all…they are pimp daddies

@MrManga1971 @Zoejwalker Slowly but surely!

@AndrewDMth @Zoejwalker Lol! A man after my own heart! Hope you are recovered from your leg injury.

If you were suddenly dropped into Ancient Rome tomorrow with nothing but the clothes on your back and your modern knowledge... how long are you surviving, and what’s your strategy?

@Lynnette_Novak True! Add to that, if the writer “can’t bother unless it’s to market” then the book will have no soul. It’s fine to keep an eye on the market. But it’s not your job as an agent to discuss with new writers what you hope they might write. (Pre established relationship is different)

Here's why that doesn't work. It takes time to write & revise a MS. If we request it, we're expecting it to be ready to go. Otherwise, by the time you've written and polished it, the market would've changed, so we'd no longer want the project. 2/2 #WritingCommunity #amquerying

@KySquirrel_90 @WarpCordova Rice Man is a smear artist, and just not a good reporter. Good job clearing this up, and being smart not giving him more platform than he’ll take un-asked

@WarpCordova I'm really glad you addressed this. I also saw that video come across my YouTube feed. Against my better judgement, I watched it. Congrats on your promotion! And praying that you come to full recovery 🙏☦️

So the Usual Suspect (I swear, it's like one step forward, four steps back with this guy) has gone off and started spouting nonsense about me and Baen Books (again). Incorrect information has been spewed forth like the projectile vomit it is (though vomiting after food poisoning is worth far more than the dribble that is causing me to post this in the first place...again) so I'm forced (again) to correct unnamed individuals of their fallacies (AGAIN). For starters, I am not the "heir apparent" at Baen Books. Never was, so far as I know. I can't read Toni's mind, but I'm pretty sure it's safe to say I am in no position to take over. I mean, really? ME in charge? Hahahahahahahahahahaaha.... hahahahahaahahahaaahahah... okay, okay. That's some pretty funny stuff right there. Man, can you imagine "me" in charge? Whoo boy. People would have romantic dinners in the firelight, courtesy of the burning ruins in my wake after my "negotiating tactics." It'd be the stuff of legend. Also, another fallacy to correct. No, I am not leaving Baen Books. Apparently I am tolerated enough and good enough at my job that Toni likes keeping me around. It's definitely not because of my dashing good looks or impressive height, but more in line with my abilities of coffee fetching and lunch ordering. Oh, and shitposting. Mad skillz yo. However, I _did_ recently get a promotion from Mail Clerk / Associate Editor / Office War Monkey. I am now the Special Projects Manager at Baen Books. It's a really cool job that allows me to utilize my skills while freeing up more writing time, something Toni and I both wanted (over the past three years my productivity has dropped as responsibilities have climbed). What, precisely, is the Special Projects Manager? Well, we've got some exciting news coming soon that's going to expand on what my new job entails, and also is going to help our authors moving forward. This also means I will no longer be working in the office but remotely, something I've been wanting to do for the past 6 months. Cost of living in North Carolina is getting ridiculous, so we're planning on moving to another state soon. The new job and responsibilities, as well as shedding old tasks, allows this to happen. I'm super stoked. Hopefully that clears things up. More writing, less work, promotion, still at Baen. Did I miss anything?

@JoeBerne1 Feeds the sixth month graphic novel bind up pattern as well

I don't like too many coincidences driving book plots - it feels like deus ex machina - but one I indulge in is that each of my Hybrid Helix books are exactly six months apart. That way I can reference events from book 2 in book 9 and know it's 3.5 years apart, no notes needed.

@Andrewnsnyder @Mythic_Mind Absolutely. Permenantly on my top 20. Foundational for me as a storyteller

I'm rewatching this for tonight's @Mythic_Mind Movies discussion. It's so good.

@Gatesnaps @watchmeanimate Imagination and the Waaagh! is exactly how.

@watchmeanimate Imagine the strength it takes to get through Space Marine armor with a rusty blunt ax.
