Tonight our Indie Author dnd livestream group was kidnapped through a fae portal and forced to play Make Some Noise, and halfway through the second round I had only one question: “DM, can I kill Sam Reich?” @dropout.tv

This book is about a kid who harnesses the power of the only god left (after someone decided to go throw a sword at the stars or something). I, conceitedly, believe that’s Hugo worthy. Nominate Casillas 2026 🐍🐍🐍 #hugo #hugoawards #prettyplease?
Los Angeles Worldcon@laworldcon.bsky.social · 6mo agoYour Hugo Nominating ballot can make a difference. There are a total of 7718 people with the right to cast a nominating ballot in the 2026 Hugo Awards. As of this morning, 1293 of those people have cast a nominating ballot in at least one category. www.lacon.org/hugos/
My agent brings the wise, again 'it’s healthier, especially in this current market, not to assign any kind of moral or qualitative value to being traditionally published.' among other nuggets of great advice portobelloliterary.substack.com/p/so-your-bo...?
So your book didn't sell... what now?
Next steps if your book stalls on submission

Had a great time at the meet and greet this weekend! We’re so close to 150 books sold, I can taste it!
As a fantasy author and reader, a folklore nerd interested in (real) Norse and Germanic myth and fairy tales, a singer: I have spent SO much time scouring profiles and bios for Nazi dogwhistles. Used to it. So when I say the rise in use of the word heritage is freaking me out…yeah, it’s bad.
You know what's better than testimonials? Shout-outs, thank yous, reposts, and tags. To everyone who has supported me this way, you have no idea how much it means to me. You are the reason I'm a freelance editor today. You are the backbone. I could not do this without your support. #editing 1/2

ISO AWESOME CON BOOTH SPLITER I have passed the first round of screening for Awesome Con and have been invited to put in for a booth! If you are a YA-MG Indie Author in the DMV and would like to share a booth with me at Awesome Con (March 13-15th) let me know! PLEASE SHARE
When and where is this the party of law and order? What I’m seeing is murder in the streets done at the hands of insecure men with massive inferiority complexes. When your platform is oppression, you can’t help but take out your self-indulgent victimhood on the communities you’ve infected.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
There are little things here and there that I pepper in from people that I know, but for the most part, no. I can only think of two characters in the whole Age of Monsters series that are tied to IRL people.
🌈CJ Aralore@cjaralore.bsky.social · 8mo ago#QueerPrompts January 23: Free Friday or are any characters based on people you know IRL?
How is it already Friday again? My favorite line written this week was actually in another social media post: “A pedantic Giles the librarian imposter who also happens to win the title of Foster Dad of the Year” Truly, I think I’m hilarious
Jax Devora (is writing)@jaxdevora.bsky.social · 8mo ago#FaveLineFriday Did I forget that it's Friday again? Yes, but anyway! Post your favorite line that you worked on this week, and don't forget to tag your posts and support your fellow authors! #writingprompt #writingcommunity #writesky
Very excited to announce that I’ll be doing a meet & greet in one of my favorite spots in Old Town Alexandria! If you happen to be in theDC area on Valentine’s weekend, be my date for this book signing and conversation on all things Serpent’s Rise! #writingcommunity #authorsofbluesky #books
This is probably a more appropriate place to mention the turul. He’s a pedantic Giles the librarian imposter who also happens to win the title of Foster Dad of the Year. Give it up for Doc Hastings 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #critterary
Serra Leta@serraleta.bsky.social · 8mo agoDay 21 Switching over now to feathered creatures! If they're critters with feathers, wings etc, I gotta see 'em! Oh, and I'm sorry I didn't have the gull for more bad bird jokes yesterday, I didn't want to be robin you of any! 😓 #Writing #WritingPrompts #Critterary
There are two important birds in The Serpent’s Rise. One is a turul, and the other is una lechuza. A turul is a giant mythical bird from Hungarian mythos. Una lechuza is an owl, thought to be messenger of the underworld and considered omens of doom. #critterary
Serra Leta@serraleta.bsky.social · 8mo agoDay 20 Today should be a hoot, it's time for birds! 🦅🦚🦜 (Keeping it short n sweet before I add in more terrible jokes😅) #Writing #WritingPrompts #Critterary
As a matter of fact, I have! Malphas is the tiny demonic sugar glider familiar of Xavier Greenwood. He loves to eat and he loves to steal—sometimes to the party’s benefit, and other times their detriment. But come on, who can resist that little face? #critterary
Serra Leta@serraleta.bsky.social · 8mo agoDay 22 This is for all the fluffy pouches and egg layers - marsupials and monotremes! ...yeah I sorta forgot about poor monotremes when I made the initial layout card, so I snuck them on here 😅 Prob be a quieter day, cause niche, I'm sure. 🦘🐨 #Writing #WritingPrompts #Critterary
This administration really proving they’ll do anything but give DC statehood
Great news! Recording for The Serpent’s Rise audiobook is officially underway! We’re scheduled to wrap by the end of April and distribution is projected for May. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Kickstarter campaign! #indieauthor #books #authorsofbluesky
2016 -> 2026 Thanks for sticking with me, kid. I’d never forget you. #author #mg #fantasybooksky #writingcommunity #writersky
