Don’t mind me, I’m just doing a little experiment. #BURNNOTICE x #HANNIBAL x #AGOODGIRL’SGUIDETOMURDER #Thriller #FemaleMC Fifteen minutes of competence porn. That’s it, that’s the pitch. #DarkFiction #Feminist #IndieAuthor #FreeReads substack.com/@nocturnalna...

AI was supposed be taking all the boring, dangerous jobs. Instead, everyone’s giving these LLM’s the fun stuff like writing prompts, and art, and compiling a comparative breakdown of Victorian-era arsenic delivery methods. 😔

Hey, quick question: What the fuck

📚 Publishing can be an absolute nightmare--that's why I decided to start a publishing house that flips the current business model on it's face. Read more about Nightingale Press below! #IndieAuthors #WritingCommunity #Publishing #Querying #DarkFiction open.substack.com/pub/nighting...

I am so tired of updates frying my phone the very second it turns 2 years old. Never buying an iphone again.

📚💙 Please enjoy this short literary horror story I wrote. Every year the town sends seven children to be hunted. The rules are simple: survive until sunrise. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #IndieAuthor open.substack.com/pub/nocturna...

Please do not complain to me about gold diggers with $27 in your checking account.

How many rejections should I collect from literary agents before self-publishing? 100? 200? Asking for me. 💀

From an author with real-world military experience, it is set in the Hammer's Slammers universe and then an alternate dimension, my 2-4 Cavalry series is my bestselling military #sciencefiction books for the counterinsurgency/conventional war reader:

Guess what, Bluesky--I'm getting married this month! Which means its time to celebrate. If you're feeling generous, toss a coin to your Narrator! ko-fi.com/nocturnalnar...

It's a very unique experience, sending a query letter to a male lit agent. Because my book opens on the thesis that normal men need to die. And that's really hard to make palatable for some people. Alas--we persist. #AmQuerying #DarkFiction #ThrillerWriting #PsychologicalThriller #FeministFiction

Good morning, Bluesky. I'm trying to be more active on here. Unfortunately, I've never been great at social media. My name is Nikki, the Nocturnal Narrator. I write dark fiction. I'm a little fuckin' weird. Oh, and FUCK ICE. I'll be going back to my weird corner of the Void now. Happy time zone!

I launched a “Kickstarter” on my Substack. I truly think this is a reasonable goal, and it would mean a lot if you could help me reach it. Thank you guys for being here, and supporting my silly little worlds. #IndieAuthor #Booksky #WritingCommunity open.substack.com/pub/nocturna...

In your early 20’s, you will meet a man that you think you like (you’re dumb). He will spend three months telling you everything you think you want to hear. It is very important that you hit that man with your car.

If you don't follow me on Substack, my recent post is one that's very important to me because it's for a friend. Please give it a read, and consider helping a fellow writer and his family stay housed. 🖤 #Donate #HelpAFriend #IndieAuthors #WritingCommunity open.substack.com/pub/nocturna...

I took a break from dark fiction and dipped my toes into the essay world. In my most recent Substack post, I discussed how using AI has helped me understand my readers better as a fiction author. Check it out! open.substack.com/pub/nocturna... #AI #WritersOnWriting #IndieAuthor #ChatGPT #Substack

📚💙 If you need me, I'll be on Canva making promo for my novel because I'm too poor to hire a professional. 😅 #IndieAuthor #DebutNovel #Thriller #Feminism #BookSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Good morning, everyone. Don't forget, if you ever wonder "is this a vegetable, or a [BLANK]?" it is always BLANK. Vegetables aren't real, we made them up. Happy Sunday.

What's up, weirdo (complimentary)? A little birdy told me you're looking to support an indie author. I happen to only be 1% of the way to my goal for this month. I think it'd be really cool if you donated (please). No pressure (pretty please). ko-fi.com/nocturnalnar... #IndieAuthor #KoFi #Donate

📚 No one tells you what to do when your fiancée dumps you for a man who carves reindeer out of driftwood. But there sure are a hell of a lot of Hallmark movies. #IndieAuthor #Satire #Holidays #AmWriting nocturnalnarrator.substack.com/p/after-a-ha...

Once again I say: querying will be the death of me. Someone take me out of my misery, I beg.

Querying will be the death of me.

Is it fiction? Is it a manifesto? Who knows! open.substack.com/pub/nocturna... #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #Feminism #DarkFiction #FreeReads
