I GOT BOOK DEAL🥺cryingggg 🔗in bïo for my substack which has all the details about my six-figure deal #writersky #author #writing #fantasybook
The severance pacing was whack and they didn’t do a good job seeding certain plot twists or plot points for it to be effective lol
I may have had a mini breakthrough in my Asian gothic book and it was thanks to a VIDEO GAME #writersky
📣NEWS: MADDER LAKE, my Night Circus but magic painting academia book, has new rep! I’m obsessed w my two lovesick (read: in denial) horny-for-colors art students and I’m excited to try to sell this with my agent Jim McCarthy!!! #writersky #darkacademia #booknews #rivalstolovers #writingcommunity
Trying to get back to my historical speculative Asian gothic wip but it’s feeling like the toughest thing I’ve ever written
I’m taking the first two-week break I have really taken from writing in the last year 🫠 what do I do w all this time
I've stayed in a pretty good mood this week by dissociating from reality
Writing tip of the day…rejections always hurt but the nice ones sometimes hurt MORE??? #writersky #writingtip
Idk why I keep doing extreme patience-based hobbies (writing, running, bike touring)…now SOURDOUGH💀
This book reminds me of The Spear Cuts Through Water but murder mystery politics - I LOVE IT SO FAR
alix e. harrow@alixeharrow.bsky.social · 2y agothe raven scholar by antonia hodgson (april) okay if any other historical mystery writers would like to come over to sff and do sprawling palace intrigue-type murder mysteries with a cast of gods & mortals-- im ready!! i've made like five people read this one and they all had a fucking blast.
Once again crying 🥲 happy to have made an impact no matter how big or small #booksky #writersky
priyanka@priyankadwrites.bsky.social · 2y agoYour writing videos helped and inspired me so much to finish my first draft! will miss seeing you on there 🥹
On a happier note, I’ve discovered that running is like exactly like writing: pain pain pain for hours but for some reason I do it anyway 🫠 #writersky #writingcommunity
Whether this is a PR stunt or if TT has been given to Meta, it just feels like I’m being sold to the highest bidder bc in America, everything is for sale apparently
these comments always make me sad and grateful💞 I will be relaunching on YouTube (Link in bio to pre subscribe 🥲)
Ben@benbyyyy.bsky.social · 2y agoWell to give you your flowers now. Thank you for your writing tip series. I discovered you talking about Jade City and truly enjoyed the content you created. It along with a few other creators got me back into writing and reading for fun again so thank you.
Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?
You know what it feels like? Like you wrote a whole ass book and then a few ugly losers dumped water on your laptop
Katie Wu@katiewuwrites.bsky.social · 2y agoI don’t think most people understand how much effort it takes to make content - each TikTok took me 2 hrs to script/film, and another 2 hrs to edit…all for 4 min of content. I DID THAT FOR TWO YEARS!!! FOR FREE BASICALLY and now it’s all gone #tiktokban #contentcreator

These kind of messages make me cry and all that turns into anger #tiktokban #writingcommunity #writersky
