(Sneaking this out 1-ish hour before it goes live, as its bedtime for me 😉. Goodnight/ day!) From armed uprisings to revolutions; loyalties and ideals will be tested, underdogs will rise, and quests for better Fantasy and SciFi worlds will commence. 📚🪐 itch.io/b/3829/a-bet...

The "A Better World" book bundle is now live! If you want books that rage and rebel against abusive systems or which propose more empathetic alternatives then this is the bundle for you. Come for anger, for hope, to read another perspective, or to see that you’re not alone. itch.io/b/3829/a-bet...

How am I meant to be a functioning member of society for the next week? I WANT IT NOW! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzJJ...

I'm so called out right now

Trans people are infinitely more brave than the entirety of amnesty international's leadership

I keep finding new levels of rage and exhaustion. Apparently it's bottomless. A single billionaire TERF can make Amnesty Int. show its belly but I'm somehow expected to continue living as if that amount of power isn't constantly lashing out at my trans siblings?

Amnesty have issued an apology to JK Rowling and the rest. Adjust your expectations, and donations, accordingly www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...

Today's writing has me wildly oscillating between "I'll fix this later" and "I'm a genius."

Combination of by author/series and size. This is a fool's errand as books in one series refuse to stay a single size.

Enough of the horrors and doom scrolling. Let's talk about something fun. How do you arrange your books?

The Knowing Doll is about a character whose backstory redemption arc is IMMEDIATELY hit with a corruption arc threatening to undo all her hard work.

This week, to celebrate our upcoming opening to submissions, we have questions about your books! #booksky #writesky

Personally I will just continue to prove that I don't use AI by simply not creating dogshit thoughtless text conveying zero information in the guise of syntactically valid English—do you really think anyone is gonna look at that em dash here and think "oh yeah man, a computer CAN be that bitchy"

Financially support creatives who refuse to use AI. When a trad published book comes out with an AI cover/editing/whatever don't just decry its use, go buy that indie book on your TBR, read it, and leave a review. #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt

29 | In an industry that is increasingly becoming saturated with AI-generated content, how do you feel about the importance of art & human creativity? (If this reads like an essay prompt, yes. Sorry. Teacher. 😅) Also, how do you fight against it? #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt

This hurt, as a George Russell fangirl but also it was too funny not to make

I hope this starts a trend. We need this energy.

Oh I've got a great TBR lined up! But the first thing that's really got me jumping up and down to get started on is Ursula Le Guin's "Always Coming Home" I picked it up from the bookstore on Sunday, it'll be a minute before I can actually get to it but I'm HYPED! #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity

28 | What are your most recent reading recs, what are you currently reading, and/or what's on your TBR? #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt

Oh damn Backrooms actually kinda rocked my shit.

2 years ago I outlined an audio drama about soldiers trapped on an island during an alien invasion. The tension came from only being able to hear the apocalypse but not being able to help. Unfortunately the scripts never really... worked, so it's on the shelf. #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity

27 | What are some ideas for stories you've had that never quite made it onto paper? Any monumentally daunting epics you'd like to tackle one day? Be as specific or vague as you'd like, vibes/crossovers and genre(s)-only welcome! 😊 #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt

I've never seen Air Bud but isn't the Dog's name Buddy?

holy shit

Original Combat Evolved still doesn't look old to me.

I am so excited to announce the release of my audiobook debut! I was so flattered (and nervous) when @hollidayvermont.bsky.social asked me to narrate THE KNOWING DOLL and return to the world of Untypical and Delilah. But I had such a blast doing it and I can’t wait for folks to listen.

Listen, I'm a lesbian for every woman but I ESPECIALLY need Agent Carolina to break every bone in my body. She has to be my cause of death. I will happily recreate that one unhinged Gianni Bebop rant.

By the end of the day I'll be Iseri Nina IRL but right now I'm definitely Komi.

I was gonna post a very calm "One" graphic all smooth and confident ahead of today's launch... and like, I have it... It looks great... But instead, here's a gif of what I look like right now, freaking out as I try get everything finalised (I'm Komi IRL) #writingcommunity #writesky

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

Hey folks! Just two days left to sign up for this bundle I'm hosting! The responses have been FANTASTIC! We have 21 people involved right now, that's SO FUCKING COOL! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #itchbundle #itch

Holliday Vermont@hollidayvermont.bsky.social · 3w ago

I'm starting an itch bundle for stories about resistance, revolution, or that present options for a better world! Signups run until the 25th, the bundle runs from the 1st to the 15th. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #itchbundle #itch forms.gle/XQm4DPo68qfP...

Writing a very long blog post yelling about Audible and my biggest concern is that I honestly don't have enough time to write all my problems down before my deadline of tomorrow evening.

Sharing for any Indie Authors who haven't seen this Ingram Spark gen ai opt out, so they don't sell your books to gen ai companies. If you do print books via DrafttoDigital, they use Ingram Spark print and distribution, so you may still want to fill this form in.

So far there's just been the ebook but in two days that changes. Two new ways to enjoy The Knowing Doll are being added to the list! #writingcommunity #writesky
