Rob Hatfield is working on his 2nd novel @robhatfield.bsky.social · Feb 3
I’d love to connect with writers/readers. Here's a quick intro so you know what you’ll get.

I’m a nice guy with a penchant for the silly.
I also like deep/inspiring thoughts.
I will self publish my 1st novel this year (Historical Fic.)
I have a Sweet Bride. ♥️
I promote writers and diversity.

Though it shreds my heart, I don’t really cry for her.
Is it wrong not to give my tears to the lifelike face on the satin pillow? To the closed eyes that could see no way out?

I cry for the living, for the friends and family walking around with the word “why” on their lips.

Who to call for a good time.
Poems about pooping.
Anatomical sketches.
Who is a dick.
Kilroy's whereabouts.
What your mom was doing last night.

The things we looked at in a bathroom stall before cell phones. 🤣🤣

My Sweet Bride got her hearing tested today.

We now understand exactly why I can't get away with anything. Anything! 🙄

I'll be calling the doctor later to find out what foods lead to waxy buildup.

Today, @voicesofvalhoon.bsky.social's debut fantasy, Songs of Broken Bells is out in the world!! ✨ #BookSky #fantasy

If you like lovingly built worlds with wholesome characters on a journey that tests their loyalty, read it!

My review: tinyurl.com/43urcnmp
To buy: books2read.com/songsofbrokenbells
The softcover of Songs of Broken Bells displayed on a wooden counter with bells on gold and white ribbon hanging to the left of it. Text at the top says “Available now!” Text surrounding the book says “meddling saints, corrupted magic, queernormative setting, the real adventure was the therapy we got along the way, found family, F/F and M/NB romances, paying the price” Text at the bottom of the picture “50% of revenue Oct 17-24 will be donated to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund” Cover description: It features the four main characters arranged in a diamond formation, a stained glass design at the top with a sun on one side and shadows on the other, and a string of cracked bells on the sides. Liadan is at the bottom, holding up a candle. She has orange skin, silver hair, black rams horns, and black markings on her arms. She's wearing a green cloak and a yellow dress. Vasil is to her left. He is also holding a candle. Vasil has brown skin with a bark-like texture with patches of paler skin and moss. His hair is brown and curly. He is wearing a green caftan with yellow filigree. Minno is on the right, also holding a candle. They have pale skin, blonde hair with braided sideburns, and round framed glasses. They are wearing a white shirt with part of their kilt (in a brown and blue tartan) draped over one shoulder. Aila is behind the other three characters with her wings wrapped around them. She has pink skin, magenta hair styled in pigtail braids, and small pointed horns. She has a red scarf. Cover art by heavenlystarr (Yune)

I was not perfect before I broke

I might have been more pure - untouched by the careless hands of life

Those hands that use and cast aside before reaching for another bit of naïve detritus

And
I am grateful.

I could never have been complete without being broken.

I am me.

I cannot control who reads my books.
There will be many people who hate them.

That’s okay. The one-stars are my red badge of courage.

But for the right readers
Who find the books at that perfect moment
When they are questioning,

I want my books to be transformative.🙏🏻💜

In my first historical fiction novel, I used some horror writing techniques. 🔪

In my second historical fiction novel, I borrowed tropes from romance. 💘

One might say I have no idea what the heck I’m doing. 🤪

If I open my heart to you
What will you place within?

A treasure? Your story?
Hopes and dreams?

A heart is vast. Perhaps you would curl within my warmth.

Or maybe you are a thief.
The heart is a vault.
Maybe you will only leave fingerprints
As you take my essence.

Gonna need a minute. 😰

Someone just referred to their YA book set in the 1980’s as Historical Fiction. 🫣

Finally finished my alphabet painting for my granddaughter for the holidays. Followed tutorials by @Dewintonpaperco.com on YouTube. It was challenging, being miniature and following someone else's work, but I loved it!

My critique partner is giving me a ton of good notes plus a lot of kudos on my second novel! 💜

I’m so excited to get into my next draft now. 😀

It’s not the two jobs she works
Nor the hairnet she forgets to take off before going to bed

It’s not the three beautiful children at home
Nor the fact that she can’t help them with their math homework

It’s the spirit that swirls inside
And makes her dance at bus stops

I watch my grandchildren
How we teach them
To seek joy

A picnic in the park
A silly face
A favorite toy

Falling down

Then, I have to wonder
When do we teach them
That all that
Was wrong.

A millennium from now, Digital Archaeologists will piece together ancient videos, links, and references.

Frequency and range are a common tools for evaluating the importance of a historical figure. They will conclude that:

Writers bury secrets in the sand

Childhood toys once loved, but left behind
Black and white photos without names
Diaries and letters in a strange, looping strokes
Old clothes now stained

And for the careful reader
Sorting through grains
There is always
A tooth
Or bone.

I do not recognize
The hand holding the pen
The knotted knuckles
A thousand tiny lines creasing the skin

The slight tremor of the fingers

Though the thoughts dribbling
Onto the page are familiar

They are me
Broken down into my inky essence
I am me
Nothing more
Or less.

Y'all. I feel strongly about this.
A black meme with white text that says The sarcastrophe: ^ This triangle symbol is used around words and sentences to denote sarcasm. E.g.: ^it never rains in England.^ Let's bring back the sarcastrophe.
