When an ancient evil threatens the world, you enlist the most powerful heroes the Realm can offer. And when they're already dead, you go with whoever's left. You hire THE LAST AVAILABLE! Wherever silly, ridiculous, absurd books are sold. (link in pic)

So...here's another bit of my wife's knitting that I'm going to brag about because it's ridiculously awesome. It's a double-sided scarf and she made it over the course of many months WITHOUT ME KNOWING! Mad knitting skillz, but also many successful Concealment rolls.

#YouKnowYoureAWriterWhen You're distraught when you're not writing. You're distraught when you ARE writing. You're distraught when you finish writing. Basically, you're never happy. It's a tortured existence. Cheer up old bean! #amwriting #writerslife #writerproblems

My daughter always makes me a badass cake for my birthday every year. It's the highlight of my day. She puts so much time and creativity into each one and I appreciate it more than she'll ever know. Anyway, here's this year's cake!

Hi! I write fantasy novels. But that doesn't mean that I *actually* fight monsters with swords and cast magic spells. Likewise, romance and erotica authors don't want to flirt with you or have sex with you just because that's their genre. Be respectful. #amwriting #BeKind

WRITERS! ARE YOU READY TO WRITE? "Not yet. Give us five minutes!" "Crap, we have laundry to do. Better make it 10!" "And we'll need more coffee!" "And the laptop is running updates!" "Where are our pants?" "Come back in a few hours!" #amwriting #WritersLife

As a writer, you're going to see lots of writers showing off their books and talking about them. What you may NOT see are the difficulties, struggles, and problems they encountered on their journey Keep that in mind when you encounter yours #amwriting #writetip #writerslife

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD KEEP #WRITING : 1. You enjoy it 2. You have a story to tell 3. PEOPLE WANT TO READ IT 4. At least you have control over something 5. Just kidding. Your characters are in control 6. Drink your #coffee and let it happen #amwriting #writerslife

One super annoying thing about being a writer is how you can absolutely love what you've written and feel confident. Then, suddenly, you feel like a charlatan, a fraud. There is zero basis for this, but nobody can convince you otherwise. #amwriting #writerproblems #writerslife

WRITERS! If you're confused whether to use "lay or lie," the answer is simple. Never let your characters do anything but stand, and don't let them ever put down any objects. SIMPLE! #Writetip #WritersLife

Sooo... Simply because an author writes erotica does not mean they want unsolicited salacious advances. There is a line between what authors write and who they are. We should treat everyone with respect. #amwriting #writerslife #writerproblems #writingcommunity
