hi yall! #writers hows your week going? 👀

Your first draft doesn’t need to be good. It just needs to exist

The only orange leader I’ll agree with for the next 4 years. #Gritty

the ever fabulous @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social was kind enough to send us a blurb for @squigglybug.bsky.social's upcoming novella, A FEAST OF PUTRID DELIGHTS 😍 available march 25, but you can preorder your copy now at ghoulish.rip

Just got my 2nd acceptance of 2025, and my 3rd pro-rate fiction sale. I can't share details yet, but it's a fantastically queer & nonbinary fantasy piece, and the sheer reality that it'll be entering the world this year brings me hope. Keep reading queer. Keep writing queer. 🌈💫 💙📚🔱

something ive been thinking a lot about these past few days ks political art. we need writing more than ever now, and we need our writing to be radical even if that radicalness is showing queer people, people of color, etc being happy, its still radical! joy is rebellion! #writers #queerwriters

looking around at the bones and rocks and Halloween decor around me and the bf’s apartment 👀

Take The Power Back

i fear i am approaching an emotional burnout. not quite depression, but not not depression either. this is so fun, we’ll see where this goes

Here’s some Gabriel Guerrero Caroca art to make your Sunday a little better.

#queerwriters line share day: have. Oliver has bad dreams 🌚 “Oliver dreamt of blood, of course. Oliver was kissing Henry, who had Virgil’s face, hands roaming under shirts and coming away bloody, coming away with fistfuls of fish scales, mouthfuls of seawater and loose teeth.”

#queerwriters Sunday: Line Share Day! Today's theme: have #WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters

i love when its nearly 3 and my body decides to go through all the physical symptoms of anxiety. im not even stressed about anything???

Practice saying “No.” No, I will not take away that person’s dignity. No, I will not deny care. No, I will not turn against my neighbor. Go through dark times as the person you want to be when we get to the other side.

As your preacher I have to offer you this spiritual advice Do not download DraftKings or MGM Casino on your phone. Remember, kids, the house ALWAYS wins.

As an agent and author who’s worked in queer publishing for over a decade, I’m gonna say this about the landscape to come, for anybody willing to listen: we HAVE to have each other.

hi everybody! soo exciting to run from app to app like a plague rat fleeing the whims of the dork ass losers who control our freedom of expression! what a chill and sustainable media landscape!!

Today on TikTok someone said “They just got rid of the circuses, and things ain’t looking great on the bread front”.

If the tiktok ban brings us nothing else, I hope it's new friends on Bluesky 🥹 #booktok and #writerstok, I promise this is a fun place to be, exist, and make friends!!! 😭

For every creator affected by the loss of TikTok in America, I’m truly sorry. My heart breaks for everyone who found their voice, and made a living through their art there. But we WILL find new platforms, we WILL rebuild our communities, and we WILL continue to thrive. We’re all in this together.

Heavy is the book that has the words.

man i really need to catch up on my podcasts. between The Magnus Protocol and Old Gods of Appalachia, i have a ton of listening material for when i start up my abandoned sewing project again

#HorrorWritersChat question1: I'm Sara. I mostly write dark fantasy, but I do some horror too. Current wip is called "DAMN YOUR LIES" (stylized in all caps) and it's about a suburb of children who start losing their tongues for no apparent reason, and the adults who theorize about it.

#HorrorWritersChat question 1: Introduce yourself: Who are you, what do you write and tell us about your current WIP Quote post, and don't forget to include the tag!

oh, this is a hard one! probably a city on the East Coast, because theyre a good mix of new and old buildings and people that have lots of different opportunities for horror #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat question 4 (last question but stick around in ten minutes for the outro): You can only use one setting in all your horror works going forward. What/where would this place be? Quote post, and don't forget to include the tag!

you definitely gotta do your research! ive sunk many hours into rabbit holes of research about lighthouses and lighthouses keepers in the 1920s! #HorrorWritersChat

Matt Mason - One Chaotic Author@chaoticauthor.online · 2y ago

#HorrorWritersChat question 3: Are there any unique challenges for you when setting your horror work in a real place? Quote post, and don't forget to include the tag!

i prefer a mix of both! my current WIP is set in Saltwater Crest, a fictional town in the very real state of Maine (lots of lighthouses there)! #HorrorWritersChat

Matt Mason - One Chaotic Author@chaoticauthor.online · 2y ago

#HorrorWritersChat question 2: Do you tend to prefer real places, fictional, or a mix of both? Quote post, and don't forget to include the tag!

hi! im Juno Crew! i write queer horror, fantasy, and romance, usually a mix of the three! my current WIP, What They Found Among the Waves, is a gothic horror novella about a lighthouse keeper who’s moved into a weird town with weird fish that keep washing up on the beach. #HorrorWritersChat

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.
