Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

When someone asks me to do something I say no while doing it.
I asked this once on the other side, but that thread is dead, so I’ll ask here: what’s a joke/gag you will continue to make despite having throughly run it into the ground?
me? any time we’re on the highway and see an RV towing a car, I will exclaim “geez, he’s really ridin’ that guy’s bumper!”

There’s no such thing as “too many books”—only not enough shelves, not enough time, and not enough space for the dream library with a sliding ladder. But let’s be honest… we’ll keep buying books anyway.

Well a bunch of books in my order are damaged. What should I do with them? Any ARC readers want a free copy? #booksky💙📚

If everyone who told me “it’s so awesome you wrote a book” bought a book I’d be rich. Well maybe not rich, but profitable #booksky💙📚

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Book collecting and book reading are entirely different hobbies.

Someone please explain this to young people:
Reading might not make you cooler.
But it does make you smarter.
And wiser.
And kinder.
And more interesting.
And way more attractive.
And okay, I lied, it DOES make you cooler.

Stuck in a scene? Do what the pros do: use brackets. Write what the story beat is:
[Our hero gets out of the fight through clever means]
Then just keep writing what happens after. Maintaining momentum is key to getting the most words on the page. Meanwhile solutions often present themselves later.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I’m wondering if you’ve done any research on Cultivation Theory? I’m writing a paper on it for a final and it seems close to many of the videos you’ve been posting about how we spend our time and what we give up to algorithms

You’re not violating a reading rule if you opt not to finish a book that's not resonating with you. Life is finite and we thus have a finite number of books to read. Reading shouldn’t be a chore. You needn’t feel guilty for ensuring that your time reading is spent reading things that you love.

Because we don’t get enough good news: I have had a record month! It’s my first month selling over 100 books. I broke the 200 book barrier. And I’ve made back 50% of my initial investment! #booksky #writersky #authorsky
