Friendly reminder that the hotly anticipated sequel to The Devil's Advisor is coming this November, so make sure you get your pre-orders in!
Hotly anticipated by whom, you might ask? Maybe don't ask so many goddamn questions!

it happened. Today has marked the first day I have ever been paid for my writing. Officially got my advance from my publisher and I'm feeling so legit I wanna sew leather patches to the elbows of all my sweaters.
@b0_nesaw
This one tougher to explain without drawing it live but I hope it helps a bit.
Lemme know if there's anything else anatomy-wise I can help with
@DanSlott
I STAND CORRECTED.
I STAND ALL THE WAY CORRECTED.
TEACH ME, OBI-SLOTT KENOBI. MY DAD JOKES ARE NO WHERE NEAR THIS LEVEL OF MASTERY AND I AM ASHAMED OF MYSELF.
Good morning

Garp: "It's cold. Bogard, fetch me my hat."
Bogard: "The dog one with-"
Garp: "-With the fuzzy ear flaps, yes. Don't be a shit, Bogard. You know what I'm about."
@GrandLineReview
The cast, sets, and world we've been shown look on-effing-point.
I am, however, a little scared that the goofy nature of One Piece, translated to live-action—will just come across as misfired camp.
Oda's heavy involvement gives me hope.
Zoro's choreography looks tight.

-- I've shelved my current WIP to re-start the project that originally got me writing novels. It was never finished (I got about halfway through) but I want the chance to write it from scratch with all I've learned in the past few years. Wish me luck!
#WritingCommunity
What is the weirdest reason you want your stories to be well-known?
Mine is so I can have a line of merchandise of all the stuff I've come up with in my stories.
Particularly, a bottle of Vodka distilled in Hell called "Corrupted Spirits".

I effing love the fact that Denji is doing what he does to get laid, and then there's Famine who is doing it for Pizza and Chinese food.
Me: *writes the word "armchair"
Grammerly: "whoops, I think you mean 'arm chair'"
Me: corrects to "arm chair"
Grammerly: "whoops, I think you mean 'armchair'"
Fuck you, Grammarly.
@cfuckingspring
This series was a masterclass in how to do an adaptation right. Justice to the source material while expanding on the world, characters, and motivations. Easily the best thing I've seen in 2023 so far.
A small note--one that I felt was important enough to return briefly to share--
In editing my MS, even after writing and re-reading it so many times, I still seem to get dragged into the story and lose track of actually editing.
That means something, right?
#writingcommmunity
Having a purely garbage mental health day. Skipped work and intend on diving headfirst into my WIP to forget real life exists for a precious few hours.
@sigmarshanks
I am a step-dad to my son of 8. His bio-father bailed when the kiddo was about 6 months, and I was on the scene from 8 months on, so he doesn't know I'm not his biological father cuz I've just always been there and been the one looking out for him.
This story hits me fkn hard.
Mid-point thought of the day -- to the folks of the

Today has been a stressful day,
#writingcommunity
. It has certainly been one of those days where I'm aching to rid myself of the confines that are my day job and write full-time. For those of you on my side of the publishing wall, I wish you all the best!
@writerscommunity
I've been struggling with my current WIP as it's in early stages and I can't seem to get over the hump. Things finally clicked last night as the whole story just whacked me right in the face while I was in the shower. Does anyone else have moments like that?
#writingcommunity
@LordLimeJuice
They mean "Get Angry" transformations, clearly. I find it so hilarious how many people get mad at One Piece's big power up being a rubber boy being goofy and inspiring others to be also goofy. Like, assess your life and find the root of why you're so sad.
@zoIuz
People forget that the entirety of Luffy vs Usopp would have gone differently if Zoro didn't stand up and make Luffy accountable as captain during that point. Man is goofy and whatnot, but he's incredibly smart
@ArkhamNumb
I imagine this would look similar to the Comic Book Suit we got in the first game. I'm pretty hype for that WHENEVER IT IS I'LL BE ABLE TO AFFORD A PS5 AND THIS DAMN GAME.
@zoroIogist
It's pretty uncanny how close to the characters the actors are. Just the other day I heard

was trying to butter a piece of toast with a giant black butter knife. Weird flex, but I dig the method acting.
Holy crap

Hey
#WritingCommunity
What is one type of story you would love to write but you don't think you could do proper justice to? I LOVE heist stories with intricate plans and misdirection (Ocean's Eleven, Inception, etc) but I don't think I could do it properly.
@nicorobinloml
This was also directly after Alabasta too. Zoro still did not trust Robin but he fkn showed up and showed out for her when the time came. This was a huge moment that flies under the radar.
Good morning

I'm dealing with writers block for my new WIP. I haven't fallen in love with it as much as my last project yet and getting over the hump is tough. Starting a new project might stir up some inspiration. How do you get over WB?
@AGramuglia
One piece - literally about upsetting the current world system
Fullmetal Alchemist - Dismantle corrupt government
Do I even need to bring up the entirety of the Gundam series?
@LillianRhaine
Omfg yes. My wife will legit tell me off about smelling her. Everywhere. Anywhere. She comes in for a hug and I subconsciously exhale before she's in my arms so I can breathe deep.

I have a hell of a fire lit under me -- I just completed the first chapter of my new WIP and I'm already hooked into the story that I can't stop thinking about it.
What's everyone working on today??
@pirateking056
I think the cool thing about G5 is that, short of the bit of info we got from Who's Who, Nika lore is still being drip-fed to us, so it's like we're watching the legend come true in reverse. It's not Luffy fulfilling a prophecy, he's just as unaware of it as we are.
@AniTsumi
Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease FIX the "half kill" scene with Ayato. That scene should have been handled FAR better than the original series did it. The manga made that shit go so hard
@namitashs
A friend once told me that the blatant missed opportunity to call him "Soba King" right in front of Usopp was so glaring and now I can't unsee the potential gag and what we all lost as a result
@WigglesTheTuff
Wanna know the kicker? After Enies Lobby, you watch ANYTHING happen with Robin in the room and she is always smiling. She chose to live, and now she's finding the joy of life in everything from being chased by Sea Kings to saving her crew mates. She genuinely enjoys life now.
#CTOTD
- It's amazing how much the
#writingcommunity
feels like family. The folks I've met have been amazing and incredibly relatable. The more I get to know you, the more I find people who are also fitness nuts, anime nerds, and comic book geeks just like me. I found my people.
Look, I don't want to alarm you but
*deep inhale*
I FUCKING DID IIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTT
It has been nearly a decade since I saw my weight in the one hundreds, and I am so dang happy that my hustle has worked.
Now—to 180 😈
Closing thoughts of the day -- I know I say this a lot but I really can't undersell how amazing the
#writingcommunity
has been. It's a wonderful thing being so unsure of yourself and the dreams that you have, only to be met with a mass of people cheering you on around the world.
So, I dunno if y'all remember me talking about finding a plot of land and moving somewhere to just grow my own food and live free of capitalist expectations.
Well, we did it. And we move in a little over a month.
Good morning

Thankfully, I remembered to email myself my WIP from home so I can work on it during my 9-5. Though I should probably be paying attention to my day job (lol, I don't care), I enjoy the idea that I'm being paid while I write.
@FruityMarcy
@TotallyNotMark
This was Vegeta's moment to finally bring closure to his story and enslavement a the hands of Frieza —something he was incapable of doing on Namek, and something Toriyama is incapable of doing at all apparently
@GrandLineReview
Maybe I'm just a sucker for the storytelling but it always boggles me when people miss stuff like this and the plot mirrors and the various themes at play. The fights are great but, imo, come second—maybe even third—when compared to other pieces of the narrative.
Sometimes I'm okay, and then I remember there is a mushroom that will infect the corpses of ants, reanimate them, then command the corpse's nerves to walk to a new part of a tree before decomposing the ant and spreading to a new part of a tree
@GrandLineReview
Dragon ain't Luffy. Dragon has soldiers, Luffy has a crew/family. They're polar opposites—where Luffy has said he can't complete his goal without his crew, Dragon is determined to upend the world regardless of who falls in the process.
Huge conflict when these 2 finally meet.
I asked my 6y.o today to come up with a story that we can write together. What started out as a clear Pokemon ripoff soon evolved into an eco-charged piece of fantasy that condemns the meat industry.
Like. . .what the fuck did he tap into?

I haven't been around for a few days so Happy New Year to all! 2019 is going to be a good year, I can feel it. I'm diving into a passion project WIP and editing my first MS in prep of queries. What are your goals for the year?

@wmag
Margot Robbie is my age and, like all 90s kids, we have an overwhelming urge to be held in the arms of the rightful king of Gondor.
I ain't even gay and I would take a solid cuddle.
Pitching the idea of a writer's Only Fans account where it's just photos and videos of me drinking excessive amounts of coffee while scrolling Twitter, trying to avoid the creeping yet inevitable existential dread—but, like. . .naked or something, I dunno.
Good morning

@WorstGenHQ
Ginny is 100% Luffy's mom. Her proximity to Ivan, RA, the smile, the meat, it's all very Luffy. All my money is still on Bonney being a Big Mom clone, so parentage isn't a real thing (Kuma probably just adopted her and helped raise her)
@Soul_StormOP
lol oh yeah, Egghead. Didn't Shaka get shot in the head like 3 months ago? Oda just dropping the wildest cliffhangers and then peacing out to see what's up on Hachinosu, Elbaf, and back in time at Mariejois. Also, Cross Guild.
Working from home is great but presents new challenges. Like my new at-home intern. He complains so much and is so needy. I don't even think he knows anything about insurance. Probably got the job because he's someone's son or something.
