I wrote Two Serpent's Rise in half hour increments before leaving for work, during my lunch break, and on the subway on an Alphasmart. 500-1k words a day. This was before Three Parts Dead sold.
Tell me about how you finished your novel manuscript without ever doing a residency or going on a retreat or taking a sabbatical or ever having more than 3 consecutive hours of free time, because I really need to hear about that please

Been trying to think of something more eloquent to capture how I'm feeling today but all I have is this: Wow. WOW. What an absolute honor. This really means the world to me.

Uh-oh. In the latest episode of Writing Excuses, I'm pretty sure I promised to launch my author newsletter. So I'm doing it. This week. Probably. But first I could reallly use some inspiration - if you have a great author/creator newsletter, new or old, can you drop a link?
shhhhh!! do you know where to sign up?! did you hear our secret announcement in our last episode?! writingexcuses.com/2023/04/3… @dongwon @MaryRobinette @howardtayler @TheDanWells @nirele @DarthPops @emma_lillemor

Incredible timing of the latest @WritingExcuses to point out how Pepsi inadvertently made a monster in their branding strategy (of getting restaurants to stock solely Pepsi products) to the point where they have to run ads pushing against it! – at Mountain View, CA
