amazon.com/dp/B0F87SK3ML/… Book Release Day! The Bad Fairy is available to order, finally! It’s been a long road with a lot of bumps, but it’s here. At 556 pages, it can also be used as a doorstop, a step for a high shelf, or a weight to hold down a rampaging toddler.

@KeruboSk ✋ Mostly that of my wife and son, but there a few pieces I bought.

Raise your hand if you have original art in your house

@QuestionAbyss Get out of it.

When you find that a relationship looks like it will soon have you "dancing for your supper," how do you handle this?

@DWARussell22 I know I value any review I get. It’s good to know when you’ve reached someone. Anyone.

@kingofalmost Thank you. It means a lot to us small fries. 😀

I’m curious. Most authors desperately want more reviews, but how many book reviews did you leave before you became an author? Looking back, I don’t think I left more than a handful. Safe to say I didn’t leave reviews on the majority of books I read. You?🤔

@QuestionAbyss Lately I’ve just stayed out of ALL social entanglements. I’ve gotta get out more.

Are you cautious about keeping yourself out of low-value social entanglements?

@lyssasphere <nods>

Do you ever feel like talking is totally pointless?

@QuestionAbyss Yes. More and more as I get older.

Socially, do you prize above all your personal peace?

@stephenRB4 Couple hundred. And growing.

Just added it up and my current to be read (TBR) list stands at 40 books. What’s yours?

@TropeTerrain My werewolves and vampires are pretty unique. I don’t know if it’s ever been done before, but I’ve never seen it. Their origins and backgrounds are kind of in their own league. Way too much to go into with so few characters. Lol

#WritingPrompts #Writingq #writerscommunity What common trope do you give a new twist? In A Human Among Monsters, potion aren’t a mixture of different ingredients, but rather water that’s been enchanted in one of the Nine Outer Planes.

@DrSpooky_ER I’m a little more than halfway through it. Loving it.

Let’s go lesbians!

@klhicks912 I don’t trust AI to fact check. It lies like it’s trying to win a prize. I don’t need it for anything, so I won’t use it. About the best I could think of for it would be a second look grammar check.

How do you feel about using AI as a writer? (By this I mean using it to edit, fact check, and provide feedback)

@QuestionAbyss I don’t think I ever did. I was incorrigible from a very young age.

At what point in life did you stop needing anyone else's permission to be yourself?

@QuestionAbyss They generally remove themselves once they figure out I’m not about to walk on eggshells around them.

Do you make sure to remove anyone who, even in the slightest, makes you feel you have to walk on eggshells around them?

@TropeTerrain In my WIP, the Child Eater is a complex character. He’s a despicable monster, but he used to be a good man. He was made into this thing that paralyzes and eats children while they’re still alive. Possession, compulsion, guilt, and revulsion.

#WritingPrompts #Writingq #writerscommunity Do you have a complex villain? In A Human Among Monsters, Franklin Actaeon, correctly, recognizes the current system is a complete mess and wants to be the better leader Of course, he’s not above playing dirty to achieve his goals.

Why vote for the LESSER of two evils?

@QuestionAbyss In some instances it’s inevitable, but not all. I compare my books to others in order to gauge where I’m at, but I’m really happy writing what I write.

Does comparison create envy?

@ThinkingAtheist Gold, Frankenstein, and Myrrh.

@therlwrites Here.

@J_Schiecke it’s here! I’ll be starting it soon.

@BrandonMorehous It certainly does.

500 words in my new book counts, right?
