Phew! From a beta reader. I seem to have pulled it off. #writing #pulp

I Wrote My First Pulp Novel auteureist.com/page-3/bl… #writing #pulp

Sipping a sparkling grape juice to celebrate finishing this novel. #writing

Final word count: 51321. Nice quick read as far as novels go. #writing #pulp

I’ll take a day or so off and then start rewrites and edits on “Coins of Destiny - Book 2”. #writing #editing

Phew! 3500 words today. And that concludes the first draft of “The Cat and the Warlock. This was the hardest ending I’ve ever had to pull off. Lots of threads, lots of questions, lots of promises to fulfill. I’m hoping editing will be easier. #writing #pulp

“He sat banging his head against the piano keyboard. ‘What are you doing?’ ‘I’m playing it by ear.’” #writing #throwawayline

I have about 1K words left to write to finish this book. Happy New Year! I’ll set it aside for some time, then edit it when I’m free of its hold on me. #writing #editing #nye #pulp

“Life is an empty room you fill with hopes and fears and old papers and cat fur. If you’re lucky you get a cat.” #writing #throwawayline

“New friends sometimes turn into old friends that die.” #writing

“His name was Justin Case. His parents had a sense of humor, or so they said. He had no talent, so he became a detective. He thought it would look good on his door when he hung out his shingle.” #writing #throwawayline

I’m enjoying writing my WIP. But I always think that when I write it. This set of characters could become recurring if I want to make a new series. But I doubt I will. #writing #pulp

In case anyone wonders, I use the Micro.blog API to scrape my posts by hashtag to extract my thoughts/ideas by topic.. It’s easier than doing text searches or plowing through handwritten journals/lists.That’s why I mind dump. #writing #idea

“I don’t write life. I write fiction. Life is to be lived, not read.” #writing #life

“He stood around, waiting for life to drive by. That’s what it did. He stood wondering why it hadn’t stopped and passed him by.” #writing #2024

“Everyone is old enough to die. There is no such thing as someone being ‘too young to die’. We die when we die. Whether a single person or an entire country, death doesn’t value any life more than any other. After all, that young person may have grown up to be a total shit.” #writing
