In 2021, Matt Barry distanced himself from the 2008 IT crowd episode that was anti-Trans.  “I don’t condone anything that that comedy portrayed, you know? I don’t share any views that the writer has.” …and yet, he’s in the new Harry Potter, working for the queen TERF. #transrights

…or wonder what swam there 20M years ago and what it would do to their nonfunctional ship 😅
Austin@austinmaine.bsky.social · 2mo agoSign you might be writing a sci-fi novel: You're sitting on a shady bench looking out on the river and start thinking "I could have the spaceship land there at night and force the characters to try to swim to shore without being seen..." #writing #booksky #creativeprocess #writingcommunity
I have no idea if I'll ever get published, but I know I'll never stop writing... #writing #querying #booksky #writingcommunity
Overall, good advice. After 40+ years, I have had a handful of “easy” writing moments. And they would not have existed without all the not easy moments prior 😅
Joanne Harris@joannechocolat.bsky.social · 2mo agoUnsolicited writing advice, no. 167: Stop telling yourself it will get easier; it won't. But with time, with work and with patience, it may just get better.
AOC: This is an inhaler pump. Can you guess what the great innovation was that made it worth preventing this from going generic? It’s this little plastic piece right here. That was a major part of the new patent they filed to extend exclusivity and prevent this life-saving drug from going generic.
Stupid feelings! Right as I was tearing up, my drink order was ready at the bar. I know that’s why I’m doing this, but why can’t my emotions show up at a convenient time? #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity #StupidFeelings

My favorite writing juice is iced soy Matcha. Mmmm, writing juice 🤤 Definitely works. What’s your writing juice? #WritingCommunity #Skywriters #writingjuice
In a way, getting author spam is recognition of authorship. And who doesn’t like recognition?
Mel Waverly@melwaverly.bsky.social · 4mo agoI just got an email from someone who said they enjoyed reading my book so much that they nominated it for an award. Instead of the scam/spam that it is, I am choosing to see this as the Ghost of Readers Future because my books aren't published yet... #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters #AmWriting 🌈✒️
… But if it had to be someone dead, I would want it to be someone who was alive before I chose their orange faced ass.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 3: You don't need an MA in Creative Writing to write. You don't need special software to write. You don't need online services to write. All you need is a notepad, a pen and the willingness to take time, make mistakes and learn.

Warner Brothers shelved this for three years. Now, released as if “Acme” owns the production and didn’t want us to see it. #IsItIronyOrAMirror #IDon’tCareAsLongAsICanSeeIt

Man, my Bsky feed today is full of a lot of mealy-mouthed walk backs. No, fam, the enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend and I'm not gonna ignore decades of cruelty and greed because I like who he's attacking. So, no, I will NOT be siding with Coyote against ACME and will be taking no further questions
This little gem popped up in my memories. *Laughs at own joke he’d forgotten*

Less than five minutes remaining on my 30 minutes a day limit of social media, so I wanted to hurry up and let you know, hi.
I love how this ended: “Chanda Prescod-Weinstein distills the knowns and unknowns of our universe in a heady brew of astronomical observation, complex calculus, personal anecdote, and political polemic…Literature may well be physics’ conjoined twin…Buckle up and shoot for the stars.“
