I love taking the train between San Diego and Los Angeles since it's such a gorgeous view but there's just no way it'll still exist on the same track a generation from now.

New book review: 5 out of 5 stars for Writer Ways by @kyellgold.com

Review up on Goodreads. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

When I was young and had dreams of being a World-Famous Novelist, I amassed a small collection of "How to Write" books. Now, as an adult with a few gently successful novels under my belt, I saw that Kyell Gold published a book about novel writing, I decided to pick it up to see what Kyell had to say and how my own thoughts had shifted over the years.

I am happy to say that this is a fantastic book, with one truly exceptional quality. Kyell gives advice on each step of the writing process, but then he also shows how he himself applies that advice in detail. A large portion of the book is notes from the writing of his fantasy novel, "The Price of Thorns" (under Tim Susman), and those notes show how his thinking on the novel shifts and adapts and overcomes hurdles, because the process of writing is not always a straightforward path from beginning of story to end of story. Kyell shows the early ideas that got left by the wayside and what they were replaced with, and more importantly why. I have seen books on writing discuss the application of their ideas to the author's own works, but never to this level of detail.Kyell says, as part of the back-cover blurb, that he wishes he'd had a book like this when he had started writing. And you know what, I do too. I wish I had seen more of this level of application.

As to the topics covered, Kyell goes through a broad swath of novel-construction ideas, focusing more on the elements of plot and story and less on the nitty-gritty of sentence-writing. Perhaps because I have worked with Kyell in the past and conversed with him on a number of writing topics, I found myself in agreement with most all the advice given. There are some nitpicks I might through in here or there, but nothing that would make me pause for even a moment in recommending this to a young writer wanting to build their own collection of "How to Write" books.

Wolf of Withervale is three years old today! And Book 5 is nearly here, less than a month to go!

Cover for Wolf of Withervale - Book One of the Noss Saga, by Joaquín Baldwin. A young man wearing a wolf-like mask watches blue tendrils of light slide past his fingertips. He is wearing a blue tunic, a leather belt with a dagger sheathed to it, and a gray cape that is flowing in the wind. Art by Ilse Gort, aka Caraid.

We got the proof for Goats and Ghouls book 1! Jazzed about how big it is. Not so jazzed about the print quality. Greg insists its fine, I don't like how washed out it looks + these white lines running through some of the pages. How do you guys feel (especially want to hear from other artists)

And here's Waterways. This one is a bit more developed, and tries to follow the story a bit better. There's some overlap (a good love song is a good love song), and some otter-specific songs, and a song by a high school friend's band that I'm amazed is on YouTube.

Listening to @icefang.bsky.social today read stories about Dev & Lee from @kyellgold.com's 'Tales of the Firebirds' left me feeling nostalgic, and reminded me of my longtime promise to this tiger and fox.

One day you will be fully animated. We haven't forgotten.
