You know things are going well when a milestone comes and goes without you realizing it. Thanks to too many colleagues to name, plus an armada loaded with stubbornness and spite, I'm still here. Learning. Teaching. Writing. Publishing. Here's to another five years! #BusinessAnniversary
I have a chapter I've been waffling on for three weeks or more. I'm determined to get it finished this week.

Also, do not assume just because I am asexual that I am not sex positive. Although I am personally sex repulsed, I actually enjoy turning other people on through my words. I find it satisfying when a reader comes to me and says they found my smut to be hot.
Georgina Kiersten @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social · 2mo agoTelling an asexual and aromantic romance writer to stop writing spicy romance because I should write only what I know is certainty a choice. I actually don't mind researching about sex and romantic attraction. #asexuality #aroace #romance

I tried to jump right into my next story idea after publishing the first one and was confused as to why my brain refused to cooperate. This is why.
Georgina Kiersten @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social · 4mo agoWhat readers don't get that authors often get book hangovers from writing their own books. But it's worse because spent months, sometimes even years writing these characters. And now it's over.
I will eventually go back to The Manuscript We Don't Talk About. But it is not this day. Next year isn't looking so good, either.
S.A. Monroe@samauthor.com · 4mo agoYou know that urge to pick up the books you wrote ten years ago, and re-edit them, cause you know you have come a long way since... but the willpower not to because you have other stuff to write now... yeah... #writingcommunity #writinglife #authorproblems
I drafted the preface to a coming nonfiction writing craft book last night. Still solidifying the main outline, but it felt damn good to put pen to paper again. #AmWriting #AmEditing #AuthorJourney #StoryCoaching #DevelopmentalEditing

I was slow to get on the bandwagon with this book (usually am, on purpose), but my goodness, the perfect combination of humor, angst, hurt/comfort, and tooth-rotting fluff between two people who could not be more opposite.
LGBTQ Books & Persons@svukic.bsky.social · 5mo agoFun novel, soon to be a TV series.

Claire Bentley@cbentleywriter.bsky.social · 5mo agoMe: I’m a writer and editor. I’m good with words . Also me, upon rereading my first draft: ‘… the warmth and softness of soft skin…’
It's a triple tie, tbh: Double Dared by @raquelrileyauthor.bsky.social Point of Contact by Melanie Hanson Stormy by @renwilds.bsky.social Honorable Mention: "The Valentine Arrangement" by @argentinaryder.bsky.social Give me ALL the hurt/comfort and tooth-rotting fluff! #MMRomance #IndieApril
Weeknight Writers@weeknightwriters.bsky.social · 5mo agoGood morning! It's (somehow) the end of April, so we want to know - what was the best book you read this month? Bonus points if it was an indie book you read for #IndieApril!
I am *also* on Book 16 for the month. Aside from the audiobook aspect, are we living the same life??
Eleni Moros@elenimoros.bsky.social · 5mo agoI am on book 16 for the month of April. It's due to a mix of writer's block, dissociation from reality, hyperfixation, and audiobooks at 2.8x the speed. 🫠
