Just watched SINNERS. Best movie I've seen in 2025. They need to make more movies like this. Also, it's a masterclass in introducing characters quickly and the viewers knowing everything they need to know about them. #SinnersMovie imdb.com/title/tt31193180/?r…

In case it's not clear, I'm just not using X that much these days. You can find me at @barronauthor.bsky.social. I can't say I'm 100% off, but I won't be posting much on here.

Started HOME IS WHERE THE BODIES ARE by @jenevarosebooks. Fantastic opening. Great example of how to readers are pulled into stories because of characters. Can't wait to see where this goes. #writingcommunity #horrorwriting goodreads.com/book/show/1940…

5 TIPS FOR #WRITERSBLOCK 1 Do a mindless task. 2 Take a cold shower (No seriously, it works) 3 Light exercise 4 Tell someone the story (Not for advice, just to hear how it sounds). 5 Return to the last paragraph where things felt right & go in a different direction. #amwriting

Spoke with my editor. She was SUPER encouraging. Gave me some feedback (nothing compared to what she's given me in the past). Overall she says my novel is ready to go! I'll tidy things up over the next week but will send out query letters mid-April! #amwriting #writingcommunity

You never, ever get used to the feeling of holding a comic you made for the first time. I stopped by the legendary Forbidden Planet in NYC to sign copies of MR. MUFFINS: DEFENDER OF THE STARS, out now online and in stores from @OniPress!!

I've started going through some of my favorite comics page by page, panel by panel. Sort of a master’s class in graphic novel storytelling. Here is what I’ve learned from PHANTOM ROAD vol 1 by JEFF LEMIRE. #comics #WritingCommunity #writingcomics #amwriting

4 Jagged panels/intense background coloring in a disturbing scene. The next page has large panels, lots of emptiness. Juxtaposition is very effective. 5 The space between the panel and the edge of the page gets larger when one of the characters is in distress.

BONUS: This comic has a lot of great examples of intense conversations between two characters who are just sitting in a vehicle driving. Study this go pick up how to do this effectively in your own comics.
