 Any other writers and novelists on here? what are you working on?
#writing #books #reading #literature 
 Yes. 

Fantasy novel. 

Not a good writer community on nostr yet.  
 What's it about? 
 It's based on my favorite genre of Japanese pop cultural stuff: isekai.  
 I've grown fond of isekai anime. Have a unique idea to make a manga of one myself if I had money to pay for writers and artists to aid me. 
 Cool. I wish you success in that endeavor!  
 🙋‍♀️ I'm a writer and aspiring novelist. I've completed a novella, and was working on a sequel. Haven't been writing much lately, but I'm an author at heart.
I've been working on ways to express my grief in words. Also on making my non-fiction as engaging as my fiction.  
 What's it called? 
 Nothing yet. I was going to publish last spring and got overwhelmed with my determination to start a whole-ass author business with my own website and store and all, so I didn't do it.
It's a retelling of the origin of Medusa.  
 I used to write and will again, but haven’t been focusing on it. I keep itching to, though.

 Thanks for the tag!!!! 🫂💙 
 I highly recommend this dude on youtube. IMHO, he is calling for a transformation among writers.

 Interesting. Does he have a specific video talking about why there needs to be a 'transformation' and what it looks like exactly?  
 I've been binging this guy. But this video probably sums it up:

 Yes! I'm writing my first novel. Who knows when I'll finish LOL 🙏🏻 
 Nice! What's it about? 
 It's a sci-fi/fantasy with spiritual undertones  
 When are you publishing yours? 
 Hopefully within the month!  My fantasy novel is nearly completed. Only hurdles I face are achieving an online presence and figuring out how to get my work out there.  
 Oh that's awesome! Yeah, getting it out there is the biggest hurdle, but you can figure it out 🙏🏻 
 i write small things.
just a something i started trying. 
 there is npub1km4xczsdcwq3mkkzsy4gxtrcahqsg6xwva67wwjv05wn39exq0pq9l4vwk . If there's a community of writer it might be an incentive for her to use NOSTR more 🙂 
 I write microfiction (300 words or less), and have written and edited two novels (fantasy, urban fantasy). I’ve self published 2 microfiction collections, but am thinking of posting those stories to Nostr next year because I’ve given up on trying to be traditionally or indie published. Too  effort for too little payoff at this point in my life. 🧓🏻

I do have great hope that authors and artists will eventually use Nostr to connect, and get paid, directly by their fans someday. #nostrwriter 
 I am always working on my weekly scripted radio show. And I just finished editing, and writing the introduction for, Revilo P. Oliver's book, _The Origins of Christianity_.
