Sarah J Hoodlet<p>Happy Wednesday! 🎉</p><p>My recent blog post is live. In it, I talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while: publishing exclusively on Amazon.</p><p>I had a long thread about this last week. Many folks engaged, which was great. This blog post organizes my own thoughts on the matter, and adds some additional insights.</p><p>I know this will be controversial, especially here.

RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<blockquote><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/PennedPossibilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PennedPossibilities</span></a> 591 — How do you handle research?</p></blockquote><p>Not really into research. Keeps me from writing.</p><p>I know a lot of things, so when I get an idea I search around the Internet to verify the details (such as how military ranks work). I tend to avoid hard science topics as a result, which is limiting for a SF writer. Many times I use inexact language or create background character experts that don't explain things in detail. This is called <em>lampshading.</em> For example, do you expect your mechanic to explain why the oxygen sensor works in your car, or why it caused that weird symptom from a technical or physics POV? Do you expect a non-engineering character to care more about how the FTL of the ship works, or whether that the dang thing is fixed? As far as world building goes for the things I do know, or what I can control (like how the magic works in my fantasy stories), I write lots of detailed notes. Where these intersect with what I'm not sure of <em>does</em> cause issues, however. I'm positing a singularity bomb, and today I read an article about having a black hole pass through your body. I might have to find out how explosive an atom-sized black hole is again as the article called into question what I thought I knew about primordial black holes.</p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a> and <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/CommentingIsCool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommentingIsCool</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a></p>

Do you have multiple creative outlets? Are they distractions, or do they work synergistically?</p></blockquote><p>Writing, cooking, fine art photography. I do need to eat, so cooking tasty food can't really be a distraction, though I suspect making yosenabe tonight will take a couple of hours. But then I get to take photos of it, and the process of making it! I could say that the photography doesn't intersect the writing much. I do have a few pictures of my writing desk, especially when traveling, but also on my treadmill and pedal bike. But then, I realized that the skill I've developed at post processing RAW images has let me create covers and title them, so there is a relation, if only tenuous. For the record, food and mealtimes are a part of most of my stories, a la Tarantino.</p><p>If anything, the writing is a distraction for the other pursuits as it always takes priority.</p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a> and <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/CommentingIsCool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommentingIsCool</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photographer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/chef" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chef</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a></p>
