Writing heroic fantasy in the tradition. Sword and sorcery, currently running light on swords. Fists and sorcery? Pulpy details coming soon!
#swordandsorcery #amwriting ##fantasybooks THEM: Show us your outlines and notes to prove this isn't Ai. MY OUTLINES AND NOTES:
Watch out, ladies. I'm entering my burly, attentive wicker basket era. #wicker #fantasysky
I hope Claw the Unconquered is having a nice day. #swordandsorcery #comicsky
Why is a basketball pass that sets up a slam dunk named for a comic strip caveman? ##comicsky #morningthoughts
Every damn time I try to make my big strong guy just go punch a monster in the nose. #swordandsorcery #amwriting
Before this year ends, Grok Imagine will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer
Time to dig in to some sword & sorcery goodness (and perhaps indulge in a spot of manifesting). @oldmoonquarterly.bsky.social
Fellow authors -- without any context, what's the first line of your current WIP?

This fantastic @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social cover is pretty much my bang-on image of Jirel of Joiry -- a character it's shameful it took me so long to discover. But, good Lord, that wildly inaccurate Weird Tales cover is beautiful. #swordandsorcery #pulp
Sure, broiling in the heat of a thousand death-suns will be awesome. But that plummet from Saturday to Monday is gonna be a memorable doozy, too.
The Crusty Bunkers didn't do Chaykin any favors on Fafhrd's sweet 'stache. [Sword of Sorcery #1, 1973] #comicsky #swordandsorcery #pulp
Is it too late to give strange women lying in ponds distributing swords just one more go?
Watching the "woke Conan wears earrings" bros charging headlong into savage own-goals has been entertainment on par with the woman on "Family Feud" who was real sure Popeye's favorite food is chicken. #swordandsorcery #pulp
Whatever idea occurred to Zatara, I bet they've heard it a thousand times before. #goldenage #comicsky
I wish I thought of this line from "The Great Gatsby" a lot less frequently than I do.
Do you like comic conventions that actually feature comics? Are you able to find Atlanta? Welp ... pencil in Nov. 7-8 for a real cool thing run by real cool folks. BONUS OR CAVEAT: I will almost surely end up doing ... something. [link in comments] #comicsky #comicbooks
Conan starts dressing like Tony Montana and gets a leopard. Obviously.
