It's getting better 👀👀👀 Can't wait to tell y'all all about it
Shiloh Carroll@medievalismist.bsky.social · 4d agoWhat a day. Woke up early (partially because of the cat), ate breakfast, got a bunch of chores done, then got a VERY EXCITING EMAIL that almost made me hyperventilate and I hope it turns out so great I can tell y'all about it soon.
After talking to a young writer last night, I want to remind you all that it's okay to write without an assignment or goal. Write to explore a new technique, get an idea out of your head, or as emotional exhalation. Write for the raw joy of it. For you alone. It doesn't need to go into a portfolio

Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · 2d agoWriting a book is so weird because before it’s released there are half a dozen REALLY IMPORTANT DEADLINES for drafts & edits and each completely consumes you & is impossible to explain. “I just spent 72 hours locked in a room doing my copy edit review; I forgot what the sky looks like” “…congrats?”
Alexis Ames@alexisames.bsky.social · 3d agoI made some minor changes to THE LAST INFINITY, ran another round of proofs, and now I have 4 extra ARCs to get out of my house. Anyone in the US interested in reading and reviewing a queer time travel book? DM me if so! (And yes, those are my Earth and Mars wine glasses) #WritingCommunity

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚
Trung Le Nguyen@trungles.com · 2mo agoSo I’ve started Pride and Prejudice, and already I feel bad for Mrs Bennet.
The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.
