So after my last post about whether X is still worth the effort, I’ve been thinking… if not there, then where? I already have Facebook, but let’s be honest—while there are some great author groups, a lot of them feel a bit cliquey. If you’re not already part of the inner circle, good luck getting […]

19.2.2025 18:51Comment on Is It Time to Leave X? Or Have We All Just Been Conditioned to Stay? by Johnathan FontenotAfter my last post—where I dared to suggest that maybe, just maybe, we should be open to a wider range of opinions—I was met with the usual barrage of online wisdom. You know the drill: “You’re just bitter because people don’t agree with you,” “This isn’t censorship, it’s accountability,” and my personal favourite, “Free speech […]

18.2.2025 23:03Comment on The Fine Line Between Censorship and Curation by Johnathan FontenotAfter my last post, I shared it on X (and we all know what that has become) and was promptly called various left-wing insults—because apparently, I don’t understand the issue, blah blah blah. Which is ironic, really, because the entire point of my post was about the importance of free expression and the ability to […]
18.2.2025 18:05The Fine Line Between Censorship and CurationI was reading about Mickey 17 the other day and was genuinely surprised to see the controversy surrounding it. Some commentators are calling it a brave move by film studios to release it at all, given how it seemingly flies in the face of the new establishment in the USA. And that got me thinking… […]
17.2.2025 19:00Expression, Creativity, and the Strange World We’re Living InWell, well, well… look who’s finally remembered they have a blog! Did anyone even notice I’d gone? No? I’ll just pretend you did. So, where have I been? In short—work. I started a new job, which has been a whirlwind of learning, adjusting, and trying to look like I know what I’m doing. And, as […]
17.2.2025 17:50Back from the Blogging Abyss!!WHERE HAVE I BEEN?! Well, if you caught my last post, you’ll know I’ve been on the hunt for a new job. The great news is, I’ve found one! 🎉 But, of course, that means I’ve had to juggle my schedule a bit to fit in both my writing and blogging. My plan? A little […]

25.9.2024 21:26Comment on Beta Readers: A Blessing or a Curse? by cgould4855a649ca4Hello again, everyone! As I dive deeper into writing Feral Ambitions, I’ve been toying with the idea of using beta readers this time around. But I’ll admit, I’m still on the fence. It’s a decision that carries both promise and peril, and I’ve heard enough mixed opinions from fellow authors to make me wonder whether […]
25.9.2024 13:30Beta Readers: A Blessing or a Curse?[…] for the exciting part: Based on your feedback from a previous post, I’ve decided on a title for the sequel to Rabbit Fever. Drumroll, please… Feral Ambitions […]
24.9.2024 13:09Comment on Help Me Choose! 10 Working Titles for My Next Novel – Your Opinion Counts! by Back in Action: Updates, Titles, and What’s Next! – My writin...Hello everyone! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Apologies for my disappearing act—there’s been quite a bit going on behind the scenes. First, I got locked out of my WordPress account (don’t ask—it’s a long, slightly bizarre story). Apparently, someone tried to access it, though why they’d be interested in my blog, I’ve no idea! […]

Yeah I'm starting to agree, maybe the amount of publicity some crimes etc are getting these days is almost legitimising them to some people
7.9.2024 14:20Comment on Crime on the Mind: Are We Overdosing on True Crime TV? by Glen TookeHas anyone else noticed how the weather seems to have turned overnight? It’s almost as if September has begun, and the skies have decided, “Winter is coming.” It reminded me of the famous Game of Thrones phrase, and given how much I’ve been thinking about the series, it felt fitting to explore how winter has […]
7.9.2024 11:34Winter is Coming: How the Cold Season Inspires LiteratureI believe that true crime stories can really mess with a person’s head. I live in a country known for school shootings, criminals running for office and the NRA. Violence only begets more violence.
6.9.2024 14:41Comment on Crime on the Mind: Are We Overdosing on True Crime TV? by WolfpupHello, readers. As I delve into the sequel to Rabbit Fever, I find myself constantly on the lookout for inspiration, particularly from true crime stories and real-life events that can be woven into my narrative. As you can imagine, there’s certainly no shortage of gripping tales out there that could be adapted or serve as […]

29.8.2024 12:54Comment on From Split to King’s Landing: How Croatia’s Landscapes Inspired My Writing Journey by Kymber HawkeReminds me of how Macron won his first presidency. At that time, far-right and far-left politicians won elections aided by helpful hackers, leaking confidential data to places like WikiLeaks and discrediting moderate opposition. Macron also leaked scandalous stuff but it was crafted, fake. We witnessed an opening ceremony crafted to invite people to Paris. It was the first of its kind.
