Does the sound mixing get any better with book 2 of Dungeon Crawler Carl? I wasn't huge fan of the first one because I felt like I was always adjusting the volume. #DungeonCrawlerCarl #Booksky #Audiobooks

Journey Sloane is an avid creator (and consumer) of speculative fiction. Queer, cranky, and neurodivergent.
Finished Mage Tank book 4 by Cornman last night. As always, Daniel W did a fantastic job with the narration. I think I'd *like* the books in paper form but I love them as audiobooks. Book 3 was a bit weaker so it was nice to see a solid rebound here. #Booksky #BookReview #MageTank
Shout out to all the authors who write LitRPG. Even the ones whose books I would say suck. Because, as a new fan of the genre and an author, I recognize that I could never. #LitRPG #Booksky #WritingCommunity
The audacity it takes to write something personal and then press publish is genuinely underrated as a life skill. #AuthorsOfBluesky #WritingLife #IndieAuthor #Booksky
Just put on Masters of the Universe. And already I know I'm either going to fricking love this or hate it with a seething passion. There wil be no in between. #MastersOfTheUniverse #Filmsky
The "worst" feedback I've gotten about Blue Days Breaking is that it might be a little too intense for some people. To which I say: Yep. Intrusive thoughts be like that. #Booksky #QueerScifi #ScienceFiction ##WritingCommunity
S.H. Cooper@pippinacious.bsky.social · 5d agoI had the opportunity to read @journeysloane.bsky.social's unpublished queer sci-fi novelette and it's. So. Good!!! The writing, the characters, the EMOTION. There's even a character named Cooper who isn't based on me but I'd be cool with it if he was 'cos I love Cooper. Can't wait for its release!!

The sadness when its a new server at the restaurant you go to for lunch regularly and they don't know you so you get the YT version of the food instead of the spicy good stuff. 😭😭😭 I'm white, but I'm not Saltine white. ☠️ #Life #NotThatWhite #foodie
Shout out to the unsung heroes in the writing world: the people who listen to all your ideas and remind you during your lowest moments, when all your effort feels pointless, that you love writing. For me it's The Mister, who's never read a word I've written but knows all of my stories by heart 💚
also, why be so fucking afraid of local experiments!? if the nyc grocery is a policy failure let it be an instructive one and until then let mamdani sell cheap milk and eggs to struggling new yorkers.
rich traditions@helldude.bsky.social · last wk.any liberal credibly able to call themselves such must at baseline be willing to defend the liberty to advocate for perfectly normal positions like state run health care and social services. even if they were marginally fringe ideas the fuck are you doing here? they're trying to jail people
Have really started to have fun making graphics for my stories. Its such a challenge to get the right tone across sometimes. This one is for my story The Breeding Habits of Dragons in the Dragonesque anthology. #GraphicDesign #WritingCommunity

To Whom it May Concern, How do I get as many eyes on posts about my books as I do on the ones about my poor dietary choices? Should I add more cheese? I feel like the answer is always more cheese. Thanks, Me

Question for writers: If you are doing a flashback for your character to a much earlier time, when your character was known by another name, do you refer to the character by the old name or the new name? (The character is not trans but that name IS dead to her.) #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Booksky

Finished making the cover for Blue Days Breaking last night. Is it perfect? No. Is it decently done by someone who has only dabbled in design and did not use AI? Yes. How was choosing a font harder than the cover art tho?🤣 ##WritingCommunity #Selfpublishing #CoverDesign

Remember, both the Iliad and the Odyssey were originally audiobooks.
I put together a sample of some of the voice work I've done for games because I think it's neat and maybe you will too! #voiceacting Bean Sidhe is out on Steam. Songs of Glimmerwick and Alpha Spectrum have tentative 2026 releases.
"ANNOUNCING ANOTHER MOVIE REMAKE OF A HORROR STORY THAT’S ALREADY BEEN REMADE!" I promise you. I *promise* you there are other horror books out there, filmmakers. And they're good! Great even!! Look, I've written some of them!!!
If you are sensitive to FLASH/STROBE lights, there is a storm scene in The Odyssey that WILL do bad, bad things to your brain, and there are a few false stops to it. Wait until there are no flashes for at least 30 seconds. 🎥 #Odyssey #Filmsky #Disability #SeizureWarning
Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley
Creepy short stories for middle graders! Carousel...a story about how sometimes the past looks better, but maybe we just were seeing what we want. Wonderland Road...a story of fighting to make life make sense, only to have to accept that sometimes things don't. www.amazon.com/Carousel-Bit...
TFW your pointer brings in a groundhog so recently departed from life that it's still warm and plops it down on your couch like, "Don't mind me. Just having a snack." That absolute spatula. Shenanigans ensued. #GermanWirehairedPointer #Dogs #HuntingDogs
