Pls somebody tell me how to do social media. I'm so not good at it

I've been gone so long that Bluesky finally decided to give us drafts

The horrors persist, and still I write because what other god damn choice do I have?? #writing #thehorrors

Sharing your writing for feedback when you know it isn't at its best is such a vulnerable action & we don't talk about that enough in the writing community. Feedback is necessary to improve, but it's also baring what feels like all your shortcomings to your editors #amwriting #WIP #writingcommunity

Big news, we bought a house!!! Amongst the chaos of moving, we found some time to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. Here are a few snapshots! Hopefully soon I'll find time to get back to writing too 💜 #lesbiansky #queersky

Other writers, I'm trying to decide whether to use a penname or not. I'm very 50/50. I used to really want to, but I'm not as sure anymore. What are the reasons you chose to use a pen name or the reasons you chose not to? #writersky #writingcommunity #writer

I'm so pleased to see such a positive response to my last post. A small act of giving back to our community is inspiring others, and that's all I could hope for! I hope all of you go out and put a book or two you no longer intend to read into a local free library for your community to enjoy!

Today my girlfriend and I sold books we no longer want and used the money we got back to buy children's books for the little free libraries in our neighborhood. It was so fun to pick out books for the kids. We will absolutely be doing this again #booksky #community

Let me tell you, trying to keep myself engaged in writing and editing an entire 115k word fantasy novel while battling my ADHD desire for novelty and new projects is an Olympic sport. Any tips on not losing interest would be greatly appreciated! #writersky #writingcommunity #adhd

Nothing like trying to be a part of an online community, but forgetting to actually post and be a part of said community #writersky #writingcommunity

Everybody please look at this amazing moth my girlfriend and I saw during our road trip. I cannot get over how fluffy it is! Does anyone know what kind of moth it is?? Also it was huge, like the size of my palm at least

Writing something deeply personal and meaningful that also happens to have a coven of little girls murdering people.

Writing something deeply personal and meaningful that also happens to have bloody, ritualized lesbian sex in it.

It's nice to be in the editing stage of my book. I so rarely get this far. It's so novel getting to reread what I've written. Yeah, it needs a lot of changes, but I'm a little surprised to find how in love I am with the story still despite it's flaws 💜 #WIP #amwriting #amediting #writersky

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

YOU CANNOT GRIND THE BONES OF YOUR ENEMIES INTO DUST TOMORROW IF YOU DO NOT TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS.

AI is a plague upon this planet

So I've been thinking more and more about The Hunger Games, and I think one of the only big mistakes Suzanne made was leaving Effie out of the second half of the series. I love the arc that the movies gave her. We got someone fully drinking the capitol koolaid (1/4) #hungergames #effietrinket

‘I don’t use AI for writing, I use it for my book co—‘ No. We support artists in this community.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Surprising to hear that a government formed exclusively of a country’s most stupid people isn’t really working out.

I don't want to brag or anything, but I've gone the entire day without sharing top secret highly classified military intelligence on our village bulletin board.

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

Okay it may seem bad that Meta appropriated the entirety of the written word without compensating or even consulting with any writers, but consider what the world got out of it: a thing you accidentally tap in Instagram

Not to be a downer, but capitalism is really getting to me besties

Every day on the internet makes it abundantly clear that some people have never had a single person turn around and say to them, ‘Cite your sources’ because, and I say this with every ounce of love I can muster as a teacher: while you are entitled to your opinion, that does not make it fact.

Figuring out how to insert lore and world mechanics into a story without doing too much info dumping is so tricky. If anyone has any tips on how they do it, I'd love to hear them! #amwriting #WIP #writingcommunity #fantasywriting #writersky

Sunrise on the Reaping hit me right in the heart, but it didn't really make me cry as I was reading it, but leave it to the damn TikTok edits to make me sob over it #booksky #sunriseonthereaping #hungergames #nospoilers

So happy to finally have reached my final form of man hating lesbian
