Bot Check They #projected such confidence Each one a Smart Alec… Until Zelenskyy stopped their #spread And proved them #metallic. 🇺🇦🤖 #poem #poetry #thingstowriteabout #2wordprompt I took some liberties with the word “project.” Cheers.

Too Particular? A reader #asserted on Threads: An author shouldn’t “smell,” That this distracts her from a scene Otherwise written well. Re: this #subject, I must confess: I haven’t got a clue If I stop near some #roses, now, What I’m supposed to DO? 💐👃 #thingstowriteabout #2wordprompt #poem

Indie Life (#5,026) Bestsellers won’t court every sale And chase down each review. (IMHO: because those jerks Just can’t be bothered to.) In me you have the weirdest friend You didn’t want to know. …If you follow your heart, for once And click the link below… #poetry #nonsense #5amwritersclub

Having only a couple of readers at a time like I do is fun, because then you get to pester each one of them individually. I mean, what? #5amwritersclub

Hey @pgsundling.bsky.social: I tried to DM you, but pictures weren’t allowed. (And I didn’t think you‘d mind as this is kind of a lighthearted author transparency thing anyway… and no one sees my posts anyway…) Anyway. If you were worried about my implied… lack of brevity, don’t bother. 😂

These days I always “download” and keep at least 2 versions of a #WIP from Google Docs, usually overwriting the least recent. So this is about the pace that we’re working with: (It’s … something!) #5amwritersclub

The Other Other Road (Perhaps, Traveled Least?) Sometimes the less inviting path That snakes around the bend Would make a good story, but not One that I’d reccomend. 🐍 ⚠️ #poem #poetry #nonsense

Nope. If you don’t bleed, And you don’t need, And you don’t wonder why… Sure. Use Trump’s stupid moniker And call yourself S.I. But don’t expect my empathy: No matter what the wig, Disguise, or how you dress yourself, I couldn’t give a fig. 🥸🤖 #poetry #poem #nonsense #Imnotsutewhatthisis

Alma Mater My #spirits, friends, are low today, My #family, and all that: Turned out to be what predators Claimed as their #habitat. #thingstowriteabout #2wordprompt #poetry #cornell In a break from tradition, this poem is (unfortunately) true. No cute emojis for you today. Stay safe out there.

#5amwritersclub My latest YA chapter is called, “Like, duh.” And ends “…stupid, stupid, stupid.” Despite all this, I think it’s actually a pretty good chapter. 😏. Keep up your own good work, peeps!

Why do other #indie see success when I don’t? Just because they spend more time and energy cultivating their readership and spend money on ads and are generally more popular and likable and believe in themselves and, maybe, #write better? I mean, that’s only like 6 really good reasons.

Them’s Fighting Words I’m #flooded with adrenaline… I’m piqued. Nah bro: I’m miffed. He said that I could cry #uncle As though that were a #gift. I’ll put my fist where his mouth is, If I’ve got any aim: Until HE calls the brother of HIS father out by name! 👊🎁 #thingstowriteabout #2wordprompt

Just finished another chapter that definitely wouldn’t have made the outline. …which is why I don’t truck with outlines, of course! 🛻. #5amwritersclub

So long as we’re using acronyms that are already taken, I propose we rebrand AI “BDSM“ for Bad/Dumb Slop Machine. Sorry if that ruined your kink. 😢.

Call An Indie Bookshop Time? Here I am. I haven’t moved; I‘ve got to where I’ve been. I was supposed to progress, #hence: The #crisis I am in. It seems after two decades I Don’t understand the biz. Perhaps I have to leave my couch— As #cosy as it is? 📚 🛋️ #thingstowriteabout #poetry #2wordprompt

I sold a copy of I AM THE SHERIFF via Threads! WOW, you guys. I’m up to like $0.0001/hour for my work on the social medias. Get ready to call it a bender. #authorsky #books

A: No I don’t suffer from writer’s block, thanks for asking. I use the Roald Dahl method he got from someone else… maybe Hemingway?… of breaking off in the middle of a thought, even a sentence, so that when I return #authorsky #3amwritersclub
