I just learned that the last saturday of April celebrates Indie Bookstore Day.

So, please buy your books from Indie stores.
Yes, even if they don't have dragons 😜😁

I work at a bookstore and this was an actual conversation I had at work last night:

5 year old boy: *brings me a romance book* what's this?
me: a story about two people falling in love!
b: ....is there a dragon in it?
me: No..
b: then why do you even have it

Two panels from the show Futurama:

Girl: "You're from the 20th century? That's incredible. I'm from the 21st century. Remember when those billionaires enslaved humanity?"

For #PrideMonth, I would like for you to have my latest album for free. The Tower of Babel Falls is an anti-fascist #indie #folk album against christian nationalism.

This song in particular is my little anthem for self-determination. I spent about 15 years in the church as a deeply closeted queer, autistic kid (and later adult), feeling so often invisible, misunderstood, fearful of my conditional belonging.

Pride is for us. We don't have to prove ourselves to anyone.

Just a small update to whom it may concern... 😊

I am just now about to start editing the last chapter of The Last Philosopher: Part Two.

I'll still need to do some proofreading to see I haven't edited in too many glorious new mistakes 😂

Just some #Gratitoot 😁

I realised that I've neglected to thank everyone who has boosted, commented, and favourited my shamelessly self-promotional book posts...

I just wanted to say that as someone who is retired with disablity I really appreciate the support.
It makes me feel maybe I can contribute something 😊

Person: how does writing work?
Writer: well you type & you delete. You rethink. Then you do 187 min of
research & correct it. You reread & wonder if you have a grasp of English.
Then you revise
Person: then you're done with the book?
Writer: then you move to the next sentence

Personally I like to edit in new and improved typos with every round of editing 😁 Even grammar has to 'Evolve or Die' in this new fast paced world 😜😂

Shout-out to the typos that make it through three rounds of content edits, copyedits, and two rounds of proofreading. I am inspired by your dedication and tenacity.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Question.
If, an individual tells a story and uses embellishment and overexaggeration to add more of a dramatic effect and create more of an experience, but cannot recall such stories 100% properly due to complications in his/her memory, then could such person be considered a liar?

RE: https://mastodon.art/@NickEast_IndieWriter/117172203765192969

With 40 votes the result of the poll is in:

97% think I should add images to The Last Philosopher ebook.

78% think I should add them as scene/chapter headers.

So, expect Part two to have images, mostly maps...

Stranger: It must be great to be a fantasy author. You can write whatever you want.
Me, rewriting 1/4 of my narrative because my characters live too far apart: Yeah, Great.

Do you hate AI, love discovering new indie authors, and love Fantasy stories that get DARK?

Then I suggest that you preorder Once Upon A Fairytale, an anthology that has all that (and you get to prove the power of Mastodon as THE place for us indies)!

Please share, so others too can find a good read for the fall season. <3
