Alex Robins - The City of Grief and Pain announced

When I last posted waaaaay back in January, I was in a pretty bad place. I’d just lost over 50,000 words from my latest novel. After buckling down and writing day and night for the last few months, I’ve managed to rewrite the 50k words that I lost and am now 80,000 words(1/3)

@stumbleine44 @TV_Fanatic_Girl Unfortunately this is still the closest

𝙃𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙧 𝙈𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙖!!! 🔪 Can you name this character and the film?

@ZB_Steele Congrats, mate! It's all downhill from here. No! Wait! I mean uphill! Uphill! 😀

Hey everyone thank ya'll for the well wishes, baby boy was born, both him and mom are healthy and he's prefect ❤️❤️❤️ Get back to ya'll soon! Much love!

That's it! The last chapter of the last book in the Mothers of Sorrow trilogy. On to editing now. I wonder what that chapter title can mean?

@aminakara @vinayvasan I can attest that at least one of those is quite good. Worth a read at least :) :) :)

@vinayvasan These are just some of them....

I am a reviewer on bookmatch.co.uk too! It's new but it's already got a few books that have caught my attention....

It's been a while coming, but Metanoia, the second part of The Ruined Gods trilogy, is now available on the audio platform of your choice. Titanica, the final part, is being recorded right now!

@ZB_Steele Sounds about right…

Tinkered with cutting words, eliminating promo, and doing the formatting to post this to Reddit and one of the first comments I got was "looks like AI made this" smh

Alright, so if you follow me you know that I post Monthly Transparency Posts. As arrogant as this sounds, each month I get asked "how did you do it?" I've never had a good answer with characters limits. So I wrote a 7500 word article. This is my advice in a nutshell, 🔗 below

Quite an apt analogy for what this book has put me through, but I’m still having great fun writing it despite a few bumps along the way! (3/3)

...into the final novel of The Mothers of Sorrow trilogy!I still have five or six chapters to go, so the first draft should be finished in the next couple of months, which means that I can finally announce the title: The City of Grief and Pain. (2/3)

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. wapo.st/4qIqlTl

I get so many of these weird, AI-generated fake marketing pitches and nearly all of them have funny sentences like this one. "Finally, someone gave my a city that makes my nightmares feel cozy." Cozy. Really? 😅

I just got 30 books & my TBR is now visible from space. I have no self-control... @hollytinsl3y, @AuthorJmn, @Sigils, @authornickbetts, @TimWolffAuthor, @monteroauthor @ctullbane @DamnedLiesProj, @GreavesEc, @trincun, @trincun, @coy_harlingen, @JonathanShuerg1, @stumbleine44

The average person’s an idiot.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. This was her bio: "Renée Macklin is from Colorado Springs, Colorado and is studying Creative Writing at ODU. Her poetry has been published in Metrosphere and Coronado Literary Review, and she currently co-hosts a podcast with her husband, comedian Tim Macklin. When she is not writing, reading, or talking about writing, she has movie marathons and makes messy art with her daughter and two sons." (People are posting the wrong woman's photo, the red lipstick photo is not her. This is Renee, from her social media accounts.)

@FletcherMR Hiya! Yes the City of Mist and Tears made it in this year. amazon.com/City-Mist-Tear…

So who do I know with a book in this year's #SPFBO? Drop a link to your book/Amazon/whatever so we can check it out. For myself, DOGGED made it in this year. amazon.com/dp/B0FR3VNQVN
