Careful now. The eco chamber we created on the old site is inevitably going to repeat here, apparently.

Nice to see a fellow writer!

I'm hoping Lemmy has some decent writing places, I always hated the Reddit ones tbh.

I felt like r/writing was just bad advice and people not wanting you to be a writer.

What do you write?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah it was the same questions over and over again and I'm like "ugh okay, yes you can write women if you're a man just WRITE THEM AS HUMANS!"

I'm a urban fantasy/sci-fi writer mostly. But I love creative non-fiction too.

Did your book get published? I have no recollection of anything past you saying you were working on it maybe? Welcome home anyway.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I have a couple published which you can check out here

A couple of upper primary horror inspired by Goosebumps (book 3 coming soon), a Treasure Hunting Adventure (releasing shortly) and a Tassie-western novella/sort story (like 40 pages).
