The Kallattian Saga is a rich Sword & Censers Epic Fantasy, where the choices of normal people may tilt the balance or fall of kings and holy orders. Available in all formats.

I have grown to dislike the word hobby. My writing has been referred to as a hobby because it doesn't pull in hundreds of dollars. I am writing books because it is my purpose. I want it to be a career. I am willing to spend months on a single manuscript. TV has been replaced by books. Writing isn't a hobby. It's my life.

Ah! The age-old fantasy author conundrum of whether to lean into swords-and-sorcery pulpy stuff or commit to epic length literary-ish tomes 🤔

@Andrewnsnyder To those naysayers: tell me you’re edgelord and insist only reading edgy mcedgy grimdark work without telling me that’s all you read…

@YuvalKordov 100%!! The number of things I catch during Layout. Or reading aloud. Or then reading aloud again when I record the audio…

I'm not going to participate in the editor-or-not debate. But something I will reiterate is the value of rereading your own pre-pub work in different mediums. You absolutely will find different bugs reading a paperback proof vs an ePub vs a Word doc. Do them all.

@YuvalKordov For me, it’s the appreciation of them consciously choosing to film a space western, with all of the quiet intensity of a spaghetti western, and sparse but intentional dialogue

“Do we need editors?” “Do you like prologues?” “Do you think authors need an agent?” How about everyone shut up and write before I stuff you nerds into a locker?

@JannyWurts It’s Connie Willis’ *Remake* happening in real time! (In which censors hand edit old movies to replace cigarettes in Humphrey Bogart’s hand with bottles of coke or pencils…) It’s absurd. Which means it SHOULD be absurdist Sci-fi, not absurdist reality!

Horrified. You don't 'improve' upon or update the legacy of a classic work, conceived and executed by the mind of a genius. So relieved that I kept the original PAPER BOOKS.

I am normally not one to wantonly throw around phrases like “enemies of civilization” but that is genuinely how I feel about people who inherit the copyright to a dead author’s work and take it upon themselves to “update” and replace the original

A rather fun Kallattian flash fiction piece came back to me. I think I’ll revisit an make it just a BIT longer before I show it off to you all.

@sixdoomlit @hwjohnston7 Nice. It’s totally situational on what each author can afford (and even more importantly what the need, whether Dev, Line, or Proof.) Good on you!

I’d offer my services as an editor, but half my comments would be, “How about adding a duck here?”
