What does real writing discipline actually look like?
Seth Ring shares his daily routine, live writing sprints, dictating books in real time, and stacking words before most people even wake up.
Streaming every weekday morning, he’s already deep into his book while everyone else is still hitting snooze…
Motivating? Yes.
Slightly demoralizing? Also yes.
If you’ve ever said “I don’t have time to write”… this might challenge that.

Going live on instagram tonight with @kadenloveauthor_ at 8pm EST 7pm MST
We’re talking The Two Week Curse, LitRPG, writing, books, and probably whatever chaos happens when authors get talking 😆
Drop in and hang with us live.

So… I may have signed a few copies of *The Two Week Curse* and hidden them in bookstores. 👀
No promises on where they’ll turn up.
If you happen to spot a signed copy out in the wild, I fully expect photographic evidence.
Still kind of surreal seeing this series on physical bookstore shelves.
And genuinely, thank you. None of this happens without readers showing up for these books over the years.
Now let’s go get more indie books into more bookstores.

Well this just got even better.
Really excited to say @mrsethring will be joining me at @bookishkop on May 25.
So if you’re into LitRPG, progression fantasy, tactical worlds, chaos, and authors getting way too deep into conversations about books… this is probably your kind of event.
We’ll be talking The Two Week Curse, hanging out, answering questions, signing books, and generally having a good time.
Tickets are just the price of the book.
If you’re nearby, come out and join us.

Apparently writing entire books is easier than naming them.
From struggling to name a podcast…
to realizing the hardest part of writing might actually be the 100-word blurb.
Authors really will write thousands of words in a week and then stare at a tiny description like it’s their greatest enemy.
Honestly, this conversation is way too relatable.

I got a message that my local bookstore had the new edition of *The Two Week Curse* in stock, so of course I had to go see it for myself.
The book has existed in paperback before, but seeing this new edition sitting on an actual bookstore shelf out in the wild is a whole different feeling.
Pretty damn cool.
Huge thanks to Indigo, Chapters and Coles for stocking it.
And yes… I may have signed a copy while I was there 👀
If you’re local, see if you can find the signed copy 😄
And if you spot *The Two Week Curse* in a bookstore near you, send me a photo. I genuinely want to see them.

What if readers don’t actually want the grind… even in stories about leveling up?
In this clip, I break down the hidden tension inside progression fantasy and LitRPG.
We’ve been conditioned to chase growth, success, and constant improvement, but deep down, most readers are just looking for a break from it all.
That’s why these stories hit so hard:
not just for the progress… but for the escape.
