A simple Friday check-in. Hope you had a good day. With the winter weather coming through, stay safe and warm. Just saying hi — and bye for now. 🤍

Unscripted? Yeah. Raw & honest has always been more my style. • My mental health is better. 🖤 • Starting June 1st, I’m trying a new social media approach. • I’ve started my next project: “The Werewolf of the Castle.” Definitely not your typical werewolf story. 🐺

📄 Writing Session Results 9 pages 3,263 words I damn near pulled an all-nighter for The Werewolf of the Castle. I'd be lying if I said I wasn’t having fun though. Once the ideas started flowing, I was on a roll. 🐺✍️

Quick update on my next book, *The Werewolf of the Castle*. I’m rebuilding it from a 10-year-old draft. It finally feels like a real story now. Something with structure. With weight. Something with more "bite" to it. 🐺 Now comes: the rewrite. I think you’re gonna like where it’s going. #Writing

(Has audio. Listen along!) -- "Pessimistic" (shorthanded) | © A.T. Pike | April 30, 2026 Life sucks and then you die. We just get better at hiding it. How has life changed for you in the past 5… 10… 20 years? Such a long stretch— and a blink at the same time. #AmWriting

Not a great day. 🙁 But I’m still here. That’s enough for now.

Ideas are easy. Structure is the work. ----- #IndieAuthor #AmWriting #WritingProcess

As Sir David Attenborough (Happy Belated Birthday!): "Here, we see the wild indie author, having just emerged from its slumbering den. His features are unusual for this hour, as he starts his day." Have a good day!

Just finished reading the newest Goodreads reviews for my book. 🤯 Honestly? I’m blown away. 🥲 Thank you to everyone who’s read, rated, or reviewed my work. It truly means a lot. 💕 Goodreads link below 👇

A common question I get: Do you plan your writing… or just run with it? For me— Poetry = instinct, freewriting Fiction = some structure + controlled chaos Both work. Both fight me in different ways. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

That Reform is a nasty little racist party more intent on causing division than actually coming with any useful policies is hardly new, but this really takes the biscuit. Attempting to blackmail and threaten voters with some playground politics of performative cruelty is a new low even for them.

Sending Brandee Evans tight hugs. I can't imagine caregiving responsibilities while navigating this lame industry and making sure you're not neglecting yourself as well. My parents might need care sooner than later and it's always on my mind what that will look like with me being overseas.

Listen to me get distracted, talking about my “melancholy” piece. I wanted to talk about the sadness but my mind went elsewhere with its textures. It’s one of my personal favs of my own work. I’ll prob keep talking about it because there’s so much on this piece that short vids won’t do it justice 🖤

Cory Doctorow : "We need to make tech workers unionized again ...  because tech workers that aren't working behind a keyboard, those tech workers, they're peeing in bottles or being injured at 3x the national rate in an Amazon warehouse. That's how tech bosses treat workers they're not afraid of."

It’s OBVIOUS—AIPAC candidates will NEVER be in step with the Democratic base. @rephaleystevens.bsky.social is a prime EXAMPLE: she dismissed U.N. findings that Israel committed genocide & won’t commit to holding Trump accountable. That positioning should end a candidacy in EVERY Democratic primary.🤦🏿‍♂️

🌴Good Evening Passed Aways🌴 It's the start of my work weekend and it has been a rollercoaster today! BUT! It hasn't been bad. Honestly? It was more manageable than I am accustomed to. But I am going to try and find purchase in some personal luxuries. Maybe play a game or get in a VC with friends 💀🧡
