#TBBChat Thanks for the chat, AJ! 💙 I’ve been deep in editing REMNANT and getting everything ready for its launch with #BookBazaar26 this October. So much to do! I’ve also been spending a lot of time working on the cover art… which I hope will be done soon 😄 www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Thanks for the great chat! Now’s the time you can tell us anything you want. Got a project to promote? Let us know in the comments! We’ll have a fresh new chat next week for #TBBChat. Until next time! #BookBazaar26

I’d wish for motivation that never disappears. It always does at the worst possible moment. Ideas are never the problem. Staying focused long enough to finish them can be. I’d happily trade one magical wish for the ability to consistently sit down and create. #TBBChat

TBB Chat Q3: if you were offered a writer wish from a magical creature, what would your wish be? #TBBChat #BookBazaar26 #Writing #Writesky

My favorite thing about writing is getting to tell the stories I want to tell. I read a lot. I like getting lost in other people’s words. It’s fantastic and wonderful. But I love creating the kinds of stories I’d want to read and, hopefully, giving someone one they can get lost in too. #TBBChat

TBB Chat Q2: what is your favorite thing about writing? #TBBChat #BookBazaar26 #Writing #Writesky

I write best in the morning. Before I ever sit down, I’ll usually take a walk and listen to the playlist I made for my book. Certain songs help me visualize the chapter, so by the time I’m at my desk with a cup of tea, I’m ready to free write from my outline. Editing is a different story. #TBBChat

TBB Chat Q1: what is your writing ritual? #TBBChat #BookBazaar26 #Writing #Writesky

Hello, there! I’m a little late to the chat, but happy to be here! I’m T. E. LaMonte! I’m and author and an artist, and today was an editing day. I spent a few hours hoping my laptop battery would last through the edits. It made it through a chapter before finally succumbing 😅 #TBBChat

The Book Bazaar: Coming October 29th, 2026@the-book-bazaar.com · 4d ago

Hey there! Welcome to #TBBChat. I’m AJ Nora ( @ajnorabooks.bsky.social ), author of The Court of Dreams, and I’ll be hosting today’s chat. Let’s start with an intro. Tell us about yourself! Remember to chat with others and use the tag #TBBChat. #BookBazaar26

Today’s editing challenge: beat the battery 😅 The power keeps going out, so I’m relying on my ancient laptop’s battery to get me through a chapter of edits. Maybe more. Wish me luck! 🤞 💙 📚 #WritingCommunity

Angel's trumpet, without a doubt. Their flowers are gorgeous, They've always reminded me of little fairy dresses. But they're also toxic, even just handling them. Beautiful enough to stop and admire. Not beautiful enough to touch... without gloves 😉 #HorrorWritersChat

The sun feels warmer, your skin buzzing with new life. Do you have a favorite poisonous plant, #HorrorWritersChat ? Why? What draws you to it?

They fed on me like parasites. Burning and stinging, the roots crept higher, each blossom a bell ringing in time with the frantic pulse of my heart. The bells stopped. When I reached for my wrist to tear the roots away, I found bark instead of skin. #HorrorWritersChat

Artemis Quinn 🏳️‍⚧️🎨📚@vampireantihero.com · last wk.

The strange compulsion to reach out and touch one of the plants overtakes you. As your fingers touch the petals, they tingle. You freeze, watching tendrils reach out cautiously from the plant. "The roots dig deeper into my veins, foxgloves sprouting from my skin." Finish it. #HorrorWritersChat

I have! I've written a few short stories and vignettes about werewolves. They're highly allergic to aconitum... wolfsbane, monkshood, blue rocket... take your pick ☠️🌿 Those stories are currently resting in my plot bunny graveyard, though. I haven't had the time to revive them. #HorrorWritersChat

Artemis Quinn 🏳️‍⚧️🎨📚@vampireantihero.com · last wk.

The garden is bright and vibrant with a wash of flowers. Oleander. Monkshood. Hydrangea and Mountain Laurel bushes. Small placquards stand beside each one. You realize as you read them, they're symptoms. QUESTION 2 - Have you ever written anything centering plants or poisons? #HorrorWritersChat

Hello there! I'm T. E. LaMonte! I've been writing body horror fantasy when I'm not editing my current sci-fi. The human body is already weird, but twisting it into something unfamiliar makes it better 😝 One of my favorite eco-horror novels is Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer. #HorrorWritersChat

Artemis Quinn 🏳️‍⚧️🎨📚@vampireantihero.com · last wk.

Howdy, #HorrorWritersChat ! The leaves whisper secrets at the edge of a forest that melts into a garden. Its quiet murmurs guide you. You take a step. Q1 - Introduce yourself, the horror you write, and... share your favorite piece of horror media with plants, poisons, forest, or eco-horror.

Green tea, mmm… 💙 🍵 Anyone else just like waking up with tea? I’m not much of a coffee person. I’ll drink it, but tea is where it’s at. Chai, green tea, and chamomile are three I always have in the house. Anyone else have a favorite? I’m open to suggestions! #tea

More than inspiration, writing a book requires discipline. There are days I feel highly driven, only to get nowhere. Similarly, there are mornings I feel off, yet end up making massive leaps. If you want progress, don’t trust your feelings. Trust discipline ✍️ #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky

While writing my first novel, I held onto a line from the movie, Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come." As in, "If you write it, they will publish it." It kept me going. And now I have an offer on the table. Build it. They will come 🙏 #WritingCommunity #BookSky #WriteSky #AmWriting

My Brain: "Psst, here's a great idea for your book." Me: "I'm busy. I'll write it down later. I'll remember it." Morgan Freeman: "But he did not remember it, for his brain soon moved on to wonder how cottage cheese gets made." #WritingCommunity #BookSky #WriteSky

Yup. For a long time, I was stuck in the mindset of "I'd rather edit forever than tell people my book exists." Why is it hard to break that mentality? But, since someone called out me out... here's me promoting! This is the teaser and trope map for REMNANT! Any tropes catch your eye? 📣 💙📚 🪐📚

I’m calling everyone out.

📢📚 💙📚 🩸📚 😱📚 If hauntings aren't your thing, then what about a vampire and a werewolf fighting the system? They'd do just about anything for each other. The crowdfund is done, but- Apply to be an ARC reader here- forms.gle/yKBT4B3CKyS8... Pre-order here- aloe-tftng-2.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Another WIP character for the REMNANT cover! This is Kirev. He's surprisingly difficult to draw 😅 He's one of the fiercest characters, but also one of the gentlest, and figuring out a face to capture both sides took a few tries. Still not done, but getting closer! #WritingCommunity 💙📚 🎨📚

💙📚 I’ve found editing has phases. The “I can’t believe I wrote this!” phase. The “I can’t believe I wrote this…” phase. And, of course, the “I can’t even” phase. Repeat. It’s a constant cycle of being amazed I can write like that and mortified I can write like that 😅 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Thanks for the chat, #TBBChat Jeb! 💙 My project, REMNANT, is part of #TheBookBazaar26! 🚀 If you’re interested in a character-driven sci-fi adventure about survival, secrets, and an alien-occupied Earth, you can follow along here: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Do you include epigraphs in your books? I do! Here’s the one that opens REMNANT: “Earth is no longer ours. We are the remnants of the human race. If this reaches you, keep moving. They’re hunting us. —recovered transmission, origins unknown.” I’d love to read yours too 😊 💙📚 #WritingCommunity

Hello there #WritingCommunity! 🎨📚 💙📚 👀 Here's a peek of the work-in-progress cover art for REMNANT! The cover features four important characters, though Lucas is the only one finished so far. He was the easiest place to start. He's the only one who isn't wearing complicated armor... or an alien.

Hello #WritingCommunity! ✍️ 💙📚 🪐📚 📢📚 The teaser page for my debut novel REMNANT is live! An alien occupation. A cage built for humanity. Survival is only the beginning. Launching with #BookBazaar26 alongside many amazing authors! I’m excited… and a bit nervous. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...
