J.A.

My characters use it to start a revolution.</p><p><a href="https://clik.mp/alm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">clik.mp/alm</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/PoliSciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PoliSciFi</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>novel</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/selfpublish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>selfpublish</span></a></p>
J.A. Pipes ✅<p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WritersCoffeeClub</span></a> Day 21: To what extent does politics play a role in your work?</p><p>My first novel was <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>scifi</span></a>, and we all know that most (all?) sci-fi is political, but my story is also about using technology to start a <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>revolution</span></a>, so it might have a heavier dose of politics than most.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/poliscifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>poliscifi</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>anarchism</span></a></p>
J.A. Pipes ✅<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.social/@CultureDesk" class="u-url mention">@<span>CultureDesk</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/blackmastodon" class="u-url mention">@<span>blackmastodon</span></a></span> <br />The poll results are a bit surprising to me. I always knew sci-fi was popular, but I wouldn&#39;t have predicted it to be first. My debut novel was <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/sci_fi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sci_fi</span></a> (or, more specifically, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/PoliSciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PoliSciFi</span></a>) but I mostly read non-fiction.</p>
J.A. Pipes ✅<p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WritersCoffeeClub</span></a> 4/20 What genres would your work fall into if you could make up new genres? Fun answers only.</p><p>I did actually struggle to define a genre for my debut novel, because it straddles a couple of lines, being at once political, sci-fi, and a technothriller. So I settled on <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/PoliSciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PoliSciFi</span></a>. </p><p>Is that a thing?</p>
J.A. Pipes ✅<p>It&#39;s been six years since the last time I did <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NaNoWriMo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NaNoWriMo</span></a>, but I <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/AmWritng" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AmWritng</span></a>. Fall/Winter is always a more inspirational season for me. My current WIP:<br />1. A little over 10K words written <br />2. Sequel to my first novel, All Lesser Means<br />3. Tried outlining this one, instead of &#39;pantsing&#39; it<br />4. My favorite character from the first book is the protagonist (and she&#39;s female)<br />5.

J.A. Pipes ✅<p>Hi everyone - I wanted to see what all the commotion was about here in the land of the mastodons. It took me a bit to select a server, but the zirkus seemed like the right place for me, so this is my <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>introduction</span></a> post. I hope to meet some other writers and readers. <br /><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/amwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>amwriting</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>scifi</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/poliscifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>poliscifi</span></a></p>
