I knew that NASA was going to censor the passing of 3IAtlas near Mars.
I had zero hopes in them being honest and sharing the sights of an interstellar object with humanity.
So I’m just hoping that someone else somewhere has nice footage to share with astronomy enthusiasts from around the world.

Exactly. That part of the creative world which requires a constant performance… I don’t like that.

Dal Cecil Runo - author @dalcecilruno.bsky.social · Sep 12

It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there.
I have that part, I mean… ArgenFinn, I have it on both sides.
The issue is that I’m a hermit by nature.

If I could formally study to become a paranormal investigator… I would. I don’t have that possibility. 😅

The topic of OBEs has always been interesting to me. But I don’t like to paint it as “sunshine and rainbows” like I’ve read in some fiction, and don’t even get me started on those new age forums... I’d like to explore other angles, and that’s why I’m working on this scifi trilogy.

It was my first. I wrote it in my dream journal. It’s like I didn’t have that subconscious expectation before, but now I’m a bit closer to the typical author experience. :)

Today was the first time I had a dream where I saw my sci-fi novel at a bookstore.
What bookstore? I don’t know. It was a dream.
Maybe it’s because of my visits to bookstores on Tuesday. Some dreams are like the processing of earlier experiences.

Book cover for The Weaving Spider and Moth by Dal Cecil Runo. The cover shows a gradient green background with faint stars, and in the center there’s an illustration of a circular spider web with a moth flying towards it and a spider hanging by a thread. The title and the author name are also in white letters.

It’s in my Linktree. I published it on all the retailers that allowed me to publish it as a free ebook (Amazon didn’t, so I didn’t pub there).

My new novella is out, and it’s always going to stay free to read. ❤️‍🩹🌳

Thanks for the offer. I’m fine working with my editor. Not looking for anything.
Best of luck.

Thank you.
No, my editor also did the cover design and the ebook formatting.

Tomorrow I’ll have a cover reveal for my upcoming novella, The Trail of Lady Shajarah.
Hope you like it. ❤️‍🩹🌳

Last night I fell asleep while still working on my novel.
I’m aware that what I write is not for “the market,” so I work harder on making the writing itself better.

It’s Disability Pride Month in the states, which means, I finally “count” as a person worth reading.

So… Beautyland.
I’m currently reading.

Thank you! I’m very happy to hear that the settings were vividly described. 💚

Tonight I tried to come up with a story idea that could become my quick sellout book that maybe pays the bills, but… I am not culturally equipped to write that sellout book, yet. My ideas are too alien at this point in my life. But I’ll keep on trying.

For people who have read The Weaving Spider & Moth, who is your favorite character?
Why?

I’ve never asked that question and I feel silly for not asking sooner.

Now some people know a bit more of my writing process in real time. 🤣
It’s very messy. There’s a lot of research involved. I think I finished something and then, nope, go back, add this and that.

Authors, from all the characters you’ve written, who is the character that pushes you out of your comfort zone the most and why? 💬📚💙

Book 2 has been the “I finished a chapter! … No, not quite, not yet” kinda book.
I care deeply about stuff that many wouldn’t even notice, or I feel like many won’t notice.
Perfectionism.
