A. J. Anderson

I only recently got into Mass Effect, so to know that I'll never have the pleasure of waiting for the next entry alongside its fans is quite the let down. Hopefully the ip and those working on it can get picked up by another studio. Fuck ea.

Edgerunners season 2 was absolutely perfect. I loved season 1, but this story wound up resonating with me much more, which was an incredible delight.

Digger was great Simultaneously, exactly what I was expecting and way more creative than I might have thought.

Honestly I'd really love to write a graphic novel at some point, but I have no idea where I'd find an artist, so that's mostly just procrastination. #WriteSky #ComicSky

Does anyone know if #WriteSky has any upcoming pitch events? I always enjoy them, but they tend to sneak up on me before I know they're coming. #WritingCommunity

Trying to decide on what book I'll write next has been a lot more difficult than I expected. There's more pressure on having a really solid idea because I actually plan on querying this one, so it's not easy to lock in any one concept. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I'm curious what people think is a reasonable price for a book these days? I just picked one up for $45 as a gift, and I couldn't help but chafe at that price tag, especially given the book itself was 200 pages. #WriteSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Finally catching up on Critical Role Convergence My god, Azune's really just a baby. Nobody better hurt him any more, he's been through enough.

This is now wrapped up. I'll be reaching out to the winners as soon as I can.

It's nice to be reading a book that's not my own for the first time in months. Like listening to yourself speak, reading your own writing can get very grating after a while. I'm enjoying The Dragon Republic so far. Hopefully I continue to do so, because Poppy War let me down. #BookSky #WriteSky

Book 2 is fully done and released! This means that, finally, I can stop writing this one thing and start writing three other things, simultaneously! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#SongsOfSeptember 8 I really have two many focal characters for this to be feasible. I keep it to a playlist per series/world and just refer to those when needed.

#SongsOfSeptember 7 If this were a jukebox musical, I think Queen Cecilia would probably sing parts of Ash Again a few times, before having the full song as a duet with Artorius during the climax.

#SongsOfSeptember 6 This actually fits a lot of characters throughout the series, but what happens to Andula at the beginning of book 2 probably fits best.

I listened to this multiple times while writing the last chapter of book 1 featuring Raph and Nath. Their story in that book isn't strictly romantic, but the vibe of the song really helped me get into the tone of the scene. #SongsOfSeptember 5

#SongsOfSeptember 4 A Good Song Never Dies by Saint Motel. I heard it playing at the cinema recently and remembered I'd heard it before but forgotten to add it to my playlist. So now it is.

#SongsOfSeptember 3 Paris Paloma's 'The Rider' was the initial inspiration for Leonora as a character I played in DnD and eventually evolved into an important figure throughout The Doomsday Mosaic.

#SongsOfSeptember 2 There's never one song that can encapsulate an entire story or book, espeically with so many characters with very different motives and arcs, but Compass by Mili is one I come back to a lot regarding a main plot point that surrounds a few characters.

I hope you northerners enjoy the cold, we Aussies just have months of sweltering heat to look forward to. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Hello #SongsOfSeptember I'm AJ Anderson and I'm currently editing my second book. I've had many 'favourite' songs over the years, but Do I Wanna Know? is one I come back to a lot. Phantom Liberty is also a contender. Neither are on my writing list because they don't really fit the vibe (yet).

Even if this wasn't bullshit, the absolute nerve to suggest using ai and think that's something any indie author would fuck with is insane. I'm not going to pay you so you can churn out slop based on my work while also destroying the planet. I gain nothing from that. Fuck off.

I hate that this is the first I'm hearing of this being a thing. Feels like something that shouldn't have flown so easily under the radar for so long.

Nah fuck the KOTOR remake I don't want it anymore if saber's making it. I can replay the original whenever I like and not have to wonder whether it was written by actual writers or not

Life really does find a way... ...to kill itself... eventually

Gonna go re listen to the Bo Burnham song now #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

That is a wrap on Draft 1 of As Far as Devotion Goes. Now the real work begins. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Seven chapters remain (I added one)

I really enjoyed taking part in Art Fight this year. I haven't really being doing as much drawing recently, as I've been entirely focused on more pressing projects, but it was a good excuse to get back into it. Thanks to those who revenged on me, and I'll look forward to doing more next year!

Having my first go at proper advertising now that book 2 is up for pre order. Wish me luck! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Somebody bought my book? That can happen? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

To those going to the Sunshine Coast Fiction Festival this year. I will be in attendance as an author, with two books on offer. Figured I should probably post my pre order form here in case anyone else going was interested to check some stuff out before the day. beventi.co/orderform/ts...

Eight chapters remain...

Last 4 days for these Fantasy, SciFi & more Disability Pride Books! #BookSky ♿📚🪐

Nine chapters left baby! I'm going for the home run (having the book finished by the end of next week) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I gotta say that Charles Soule writing Venom is one of the best crossovers I could have possibly hoped for. I had a feeling the team was building up to Soule taking over, after he joined on for the Brock/Carnage story, and I'm so glad to be proven right.

Tried drawing one of the characters from the previews, but I feel like I just wound up making emo Hatsune Miku?

Feeling pretty good about this fight scene. It's definitely a different vibe to the confrontation with Artorius in book one. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Once again, microsoft's onedrive has decided to erase pretty much all of my progress from my last additions to the draft. Fuck everyone who worked on this abhorrent thing

Share a random film GIF! 🎬 (I had a dream like this last night)

It’s as amazing as you’ve been hearing. Ody-see it.

Right now I'm working at Book 2 of the Doomsday Mosaic, which should be good to release late August. I have a preview of that on my website, as well as one for my first book. And if either of those strike your fancy, you can pick up that book below: books2read.com/definedbydam... #TBBChat

Back when the weather was less cold, I would sit outside and write of a morning. I have a specific playlist for any stories I write within this world, but sometimes I'd just let it go through my regular playlist as well and that would be just as helpful at times. #TBBChat #WriteSky

I've kind of always wanted to cosplay Ben Solo from The Rise of Skywalker after he's come back to the light. He's literally just wearing black pants and a black long sleeve shirt, so it'd be the easiest cosplay of a character I like that I could possibly pull off. #TBBChat

For the longest time, my answer would have been no, but the night before last I did have a dream with the villain of my current WIP in it. Nothing else about the dream's premise had anything to do with my own work, but Echidna was there and she was as threatening as ever. #TBBChat #WriteSky

Tough one... I think as far as sheer strangeness of source goes, I think I'd have to say the Bible? The inspirations are very surface level, but they did give me some ideas for what my next book will be about, and the way it'll be structured. #TBBChat #WriteSky
