Hi, Mastodon!
I am new here and looking to have a great time sharing about my books, other writing endeavors, and occasionally gaming or hiking pictures.
I have just self-published a High Fantasy book called Weaving Dawn. The 1st chapter, as well as some Lovecraft inspired short stories, are free on tanjaveil.com.
"Everything. About. Gate Callers. Is bloody. Complicated!"
They're the only Essence Form with more than one Sigil.
Their powers were arguably the hardest to write around.
Learn more about them at:

I received my first royalty payment last week - $1.23. And I will cherish that $1.23 because it means I'm doing it. You have to start somewhere. 
I wrote a little thing about creative writing and how I should not be near a computer when life sucks...

Wanted to share some of my favorite covers from my little project, I do wanna make new ones but I still need a spot for putting my little desk...
You can check the story here ( i will keep sharing it cause I want more people checking it out!)
I think for the end of the year I'll be editing the original draft ending for my story of seasons, it's already in the draft page as a... Clean up format. I may do a pic for it but I want to make a proper clean of the writing and make it...well... Understandable, cause MAN that thing is rough.
To catch up check it out on my substack in the little prelude page!

Hello everyone!
I'm thrilled to share my passion for dragons 
magic 
and epic tales 
with you all.
As an author deeply immersed in the world of fantasy fiction, I spend my days crafting stories filled with enchanting landscapes and legendary creatures. There's something truly magical about weaving tales that transport readers to realms where anything is possible, where heroes rise, and dragons soar.
Whether you're a fellow writer, an avid reader, or just love to daydream about mystical worlds, let's connect and celebrate the limitless power of imagination together. Join me on this fantastical journey and let's create a community where our dreams take flight! 
Hi! If you’re new here, we are Asteria Press — a start-up indie press dedicated to cosy fantasy.
We are currently OPEN for submissions until the end of JUNE. If you are a budding fantasy writer with a story to share, we want to hear from you!
Head over to our website (https://www.asteriapress.com/submissions ) to check out our submission guidelines 
@bookstodon #fantasywriter #WritingCommunity #fantasy #AmWriting
Don't agonise over perfection – the odd typo won't make us hate an excellent story. Remember, publishers are looking for a sturdy foundation they can build upon. Your manuscript does not need to be publish-ready — it’s our job to get you there! So if you find yourself reading and re-reading your manuscript for the 999th time to catch those typos and to correct that formatting, it’s probably time to submit? [4/4]
@bookstodon #fantasywriter #WritingCommunity #fantasy #AmWriting
Send us your best — If your manuscript isn’t ready to be submitted yet, we would strongly advise waiting until it is. Whilst publishers are not looking for a perfect manuscript, your submission will be assessed for writing quality and potential. Making sure your project is finished, and has been through a few rounds of feedback and edits will increase your chances of success. [3/4]
@bookstodon #fantasywriter #WritingCommunity #fantasy #AmWriting
Be honest and genuine – we want to know you as well as your book! If a publishing house accepts your manuscript, you'll be working together for a year so it’s important that you are the right author for the imprint culturally and professionally. Be honest and let your personality shine through in your cover letter, you never know what might resonate with your potential publisher. [2/4]
@bookstodon #fantasywriter #WritingCommunity #fantasy #AmWriting

I've not posted an update since before we went off to the Lake District for the second week of April. Progress has been severely hampered since then by, among other things, taking 17 days out to watch the World Snooker Championship (pretty much the only sporting event we get involved with in our house).
That's all done now, as of yesterday, so I got back to the draft in earnest today and clocked up almost 3,000 words, reaching the end of Chapter 16 (of 21) and rapidly closing in on 80% complete for this first draft.
I'd already pushed my target end-date back on our return from the Lakes (from end April to mid May) but I forgot to factor in the snooker, so now my tracking spreadsheet is saying I need to achieve another 3,000 words EVERY DAY for the next 8 days if I'm to hit that target.
Unlikely.
But I'm pretty sure I can do better than the spreadsheet's prediction of the actual end date (May 31st) and indeed I have to do better, because building work starts here during the last week of May and it's gonna be utter chaos for three or four months. I really don't want the draft to be affected by all that. Sporadic writing time is fine for editing, but for "the actual writing" I need more focus and near-zero distractions. We'll see.
Current predicted final word count: 108,000.
