    Open thread: Who here's a published author? If that's you, what's the title of your book, and a brief synopsis. I'm keen to find some interesting new books by folk on the socials. #book #books #writing #literature #auspol #authors #Urbanism #UrbanPlanning #cities

    Wanted: #Writing AdviceHave any of you *completed* a novel where there are multiple story lines that thread in and out of each other?I started writing it in the order I imagined it: so switching when I'd expect the reader to switch, but this has become confusing.I'm separating the story threads by character and I'm planning on working on them like individual stories for a bit. Then I think I will weave them back together.Does this sound like a good idea? Anything I might watch out for?

    How about an #Introduction again, since I haven’t been very active here and I’m thinking of being more active. And yes, it’s in part because of #Bluesky, the CEO, and their shit content moderation. I’m not leaving there yet. I would like to try another instance, though it looks like that may be pointless if Jay can get mad at you and delete you from all instances.But I digress… an intro:I’m an #author #writing a book series called Mercedes Masterson Detective Stories, but also other novels and short stories as well. I have the first three in the series out now. The first two are free currently from my newsletter site (in the library). The series is noir/thriller and with some horror sometimes and deals in themes such as corruption, friendship, and #LGBTQ issues (Mercedes is a closested #bisexual woman). I’m also a trained method actor (the non-annoying kind) and recently starred in a short film that garnered 4 nominations including Best Film. I used to do a lot of indie filmmaking back in the early 2000s. I love movies and especially #horror. I’m currently enrolled at SNHU and in my last year of school. It’s looking like I may wrap up my bachelor’s degree in the spring of 2026. I’m an English major and do enjoy #editing and am considering it as a career afterwards. I’m rounding off my degree with courses on #journalism. I write and edit a #newsletter called Weaver’s Deep Thoughts which has “deep thoughts” on a variety of topics as well as free #ShortStories and #poetry by a diverse group of writers. It’s slowly growing and submissions are currently open. I’m currently rolling out a serialized story called “The Bride of Usher” for #Halloween which is a sci-fi/horror blend of “Frankenstein” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.” New installments are dropping every Friday this month. The first is a available now. Here’s some links:— Newsletter: https://weaversdeepthoughts.com— Mercedes books: https://mercedesmasterson.com— Other links like socials and dms: https://Weaver.wtfI’d love to connect and I love collaborating. Stay awesome. And leave LGBTQ folks alone!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈Be good to each other. ✌️ Edit: Feel free to introduce yourself in the comments, or re-introduce if we know each other from other places.

    If your book(s) were, or are pirated on LibGen and subsequently used by Anthropic to train its AI models, the courts have ordered them to pay a minimum of $1.5B. Authors might/could/perhaps get an estimated payment of $3,000 per work (based on current estimates of the # of pirated works trained on).But you definitely won't get your $$$ unless you register your claim: https://secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/register#Author #IndieAuthor #IndieAuthors #SelfPublishing #Writing #WritersCoffeeClub
