Part of me hopes that re-releases of top-tier films like these becomes a semi-regular thing, if for no other reason than to give modern cinema/TV a standard of quality they need to live up to/directly compete against.

Today in writers and humbling lessons in overthinking things . . . My partner is not a frequent reader. Harry Potter and a couple other major bestsellers are about the extent of her reading, and she struggles with overly dense prose. As someone whose writing style tends toward…

I've mentioned before that "Don't use adverbs" is my single most-hated writing rule, and now I have an excuse to elaborate. It's true that overuse of adverbs is a common pitfall, especially for newer writers. However, all the "writing rules" blog posts out there claiming that…

So, this is ironic. I wrote another post about self-publishing last week. This one focused on self-promotion. I forgot to share it with anyone. Better late than never? 😬🤓😅 jflhere.com/post/self-publ…
Very insightful and eye opening read on the industry. 👀
And done! There is a lot to unpack here so stick with me. Very Dark fantasy novel highlighting religion, philosophy, and power all centered around a Holy War. What I loved is the level of detail and grit. Characters are complex and will interest many readers.

To every author out there trying to make a career out of their writing, remember to celebrate the small victories. It's a thousand small steps. Celebrate each of them 🤟❤️
Summarize your current writing project badly. Mine: Many bad things happen to two half-dragons, followed by some slightly less bad things, followed by "Hey, this is nice, maybe the bad things are over now," followed by "Well that was a lie but hey, things turned out kinda okay?"

You know, a character who uses magic by singing about the world around her sounded way more fun before I had to start coming up with her impromptu songs.
Me, beta reading: Is something wrong with the prose or am I just hungry? *eats tacos* *sits back down at laptop* No no, was definitely the prose, twas a soul hunger not a digestive hunger

Self-editing tip: Read your manuscript aloud. It's a great way to catch awkward phrasing, repetitive words, and dialogue that doesn't sound natural. I know it feels funny, but when you read something odd or clumsy, you'll definitely catch it. #WritingAdvice #SelfPublishing
Star Wars Episode 1 fairly catches a lot of flack. But this movie poster is incredible.
#FantasyIndiesApril 29. Writing advice you'd give your beginner self. "Years from now, you'll be on The Twit and stumble upon the writing community. Don't listen to a thing they say. Don't let them make you feel shitty. Tell your stories in the way they're meant to be told."
@FellowshipFans "we’ve been trying to stay true to Tolkien"
Got word back from KDP. They're taking issue with the pages that have maps. My proof copy looks fine so I don't yet know what the problem is. 🙃 Something to do with the page bleed. I'll likely be up until midnight fixing these pages. It's annoying but it's progress!
Milei has anounced Argentina's first budget surplus in 16 years, per AFP.
#FantasyIndiesApril Writing advice to younger self Listen to yourself. When you have that little voice saying 'Who cares. No one will read it'. Write for yourself, audience comes later. Don't let people bully you into thinking writing is immature and 'grow up'.
If you visit the Venetian Arsenal, you can see an imposing statue of a lion. The lion, made of white marble, stands some 3 m high. But this statue has a fascinating history and an even more fascinating secret To start with, The Lion of Piraeus comes from Greece... A thread 🧵
Eastern Roman history is so incredible because it had so many stages of winning, losing, defending, dramatic falls, & epic comebacks. A stubborn entity that began as a superpower but died more like a city-state…it’s also such a long history with over a millennia to learn about!
I worked in a prosecutor's office for one day. My first file was a 16 year old pregnant girl arrested for stealing maternity clothes. I said "someone has to do this job, but it can't be me" and I quit.
I once walked into city court and saw a homeless man in shackles called to the bench to face the charge of allegedly stealing $1.61 from QuikTrip (the price of a drink). That happens here daily off national news. Nobody cares. Until that matters, I can feel nothing for these guys
The will to live is the will to do difficult things.

Arkadiko Bridge (1300-1190 BC), a Mycenaean Chariot Bridge; is the one of the oldest in Europe, which is still in use, located in Greece : The oldest bridge in Europe that is still in use today can be found in Greece; named the Arkadiko Bridge, it dates back to Mycenaean times.…
If you refuse to read a novel by an author who, in a public forum, espouses political viewpoints with which you do not agree, then you are undoubtedly missing out on a lot of entertaining reads. Most competent writers will not allow their political views to bleed into 1/4
How did I end up writing a historical fiction story?? This is not in my wheelhouse lol But excited to spend 50% of my writing time diving into research!
