#Poem #NewAuthor #PublishedAuthor

In the tapestry of these images, a story unfolds -

A tale of love and loss, of shadows and light.

Through words that echo in the chambers of the soul,

The poet weaves a legacy, a beacon in the night.

Each page a mirror, each verse a healing balm,

Reflecting the scars that map a journey’s road.

In lines of grief and grace, a portrait emerges,

Of resilience forged in the crucible of mortal code.

For anyone who was following what was going on with my novel, "Hunter's Moon"... Work has recommenced on my second draft. I've had quite a few months off from it due to crazy times at work, and frankly the distance has been somewhat helpful. I think I'd got too close to it, to be perfectly honest. But picking it up again, I can see that it's a lot closer to being done than I had perhaps imagined - so expect things to come to a head later in the year. #Writing #ScienceFiction #NewAuthor

@writingcommunity How do you deal with the excruciatingly long wait between finishing a manuscript and seeing it in print?

My debut novella #DRECK has been waiting with the publisher so long that #dreampunk legend Jeff Noon read it and wrote a nice little review a full year and a half ago (#bragging, #nameDropping). Edits and illustrations are complete, just waiting in line behind one other book now. 🥲

Check out "The African Immigrant Household", a book by Kelpius Zannou and Dr. Samuel A. Liadi. We spoke with Kelpius on our latest episode about his experience growing up in an immigrant family in NYC. He discussed parenting styles, discipline, the experience of navigating different cultures and how all of this has shaped his life today.

Tip: #Author, you do you. Listen, and learn, but don't stress over trying to clone another successful author's #WritingProcess . Focus on your unique #AuthorlySecretSauce.

After listening to hundreds of author interviews, a key learning is this: successful authors use wide-ranging writing and business processes. And many, many times, their process flies in the face of conventional #writing & #publishing wisdom.
