I read dystopia because I have hope. #bookworm #bookish

This is the kind of one-star review that makes me want to read a book.

This is episode 5 but episode 6 released today. While everything in the world is crazy least we can all still make art. This is mine. And it is currently still free on itch #zinester #dystopian #chapbooks #indieauthor

I loved Compound Fracture. I thought it was an important portrayal of what the daily life of a trans person can be like, and of a community coming together to push back. I also learned of another piece of America's abusive history 🙄 #CompoundFracture #booksky #transrep

Just popping by in The Love Bus - beep! Beep! All aboard! We have the best snacks and I've been baking.

This is not a metaphor. #zines #horrorzine #etsyzines #horror #poetry #thedevouringdark #author

How pretty do they look together!? The first three episodes are currently in the Free Zine Week Bundle on #itchio Enjoying this indie journey #indieauthor #zines itch.io/b/3247/free-...

I've worked through another draft and sent it to my mentor for feedback. Next, I will be planning some significant structural and developmental edits. Looking forward to the next stage of editing 😊 #amwriting #writesky #yafantasy #speculativefiction

Go support some small creators! Such a fantastic bundle 😻 I'm biased because I'm in it too but it still doesn't stop the bundle from being such a good deal. #zines #indieauthor

SE PDX friends, Lents neighborhood masked craft nights are now EVERY MONDAY! 6-8pm at Woody Guthrie Place—5800 SE 91st Ave. Masks will be required and provided. Some craft supplies will be available but feel free to bring any kind of craft project you want to work on! Hope to see you there!

I have had blast reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series the past few weeks. It is a gory, action-packed dungeon game that is also hilarious and totally out of control

Brought me so much joy

I got the next two installments of "A Gun is the thing with Feathers" by @adornesibley.bsky.social this weekend! Pumped to keep reading!

Hi, folks. I'll be sending out a newsletter next week. If you'd like to sign up at my website (www.angelaslatter.com) I'll be giving away a very rare copy of the novella version of The Tallow-Wife, a limited edition hardcover with art by @tanaudel (2017) for Conflux. There are only 50 in the world.

After some time off and plenty of fatigue, I am slowly getting back into my manuscript. Edits on Chapter 6 are almost complete. Tomorrow, I head into a rewrite of Chapter 7. #amwriting #taswriter #writingrevisions #writingfantasy

I know, its late in 2025 to share a blog with Amazon alternative stores, subscription services, library apps etc. But I wanted to include those -with notes for indie authors- in reflections on why I pulled my ebooks from Zon in May, & some thoughts on marketing wide/ after Amazon. 📚💙

I just finished a very small zine for the Odd Shaped Zine Jam on itchio. It is meant to be experienced as a physical thing so, please, give yourself 10 minutes today. Print it out. Breathe. And enjoy a little chaos meditation 🖤🤘 #freezine adornesibley.itch.io/fold-a-medit...

Fatigue and busyness has prevented me from writing much this week but am doing light line edits on Chapter 7 to ease back in. A little writing is better than none. #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity

OMG OMG OMG!!! There might have been screaming. The ARC of my new baby just arrived unexpectedly! She's so purdy, but I can't quite get the green to show up properly in the photos. The Cold House... Contemporary folk horror...

Writing buddies continuing their hot streak! Congrats @mizukiyamagen.bsky.social !
