Six novels and stories in three anthologies - over eight years of writing. Looks pretty good on the shelf I have to say. #writing #indieauthor #WritingCommunity

Where do you stand on the issue of researching your fantasy stories? Does research have a role for you? We asked Spotlight Indie authors @trudieskies @dcpower_author @_LLMacRae for their thoughts. spotlightindie.co.uk/2026/04/22/the… #writingcommunity #writingtips #indieauthors

Some nice insights from some clever people...and me. The Research Continuum spotlightindie.co.uk/2026/04/22/the…

@susanrenee240 @PhilSpeculates Not really, I have a daily word target for first drafts and then a daily page target for edits. So I guess I change depending on whether it is first draft or not but the routine is the same. Otherwise the book would never be done.

@dcpower_author @PhilSpeculates That makes total sense, routine really is one of those behind-the-scenes things that shapes everything we write. Do you find your routine changes much between drafting and editing?

The wonderful @PhilSpeculates had me round for a little author chat using a funky acronym style of questions. Why not have a gander: philparker-fantasywriter.com/post/w-r-i-t-e… #indie #indieauthor #writers #fantasy

@susanrenee240 @PhilSpeculates I liked the one about routine to be honest, nobody talks about that enough

@dcpower_author @PhilSpeculates This is really cool, Derek! The acronym-style questions are such a fun touch. What was your favorite question to answer?
