“Why should I care what he needs? He didn’t care what I needed.” She #rubbed tears away, and now the anger filled her, spilled over. She had more than enough to go around. #BookishTues

Polishing an apple, nature's candy. #Rubbing the #fruit's flesh with a clean microfiber rag until it gleams. Set it back in the bowl with its companions. Wanted a candy bar all along. Doesn't need to be polished. Easy sweet. #vss365 #BookishTues #amwriting

No cheating, post your lock screen! This has been my lock screen for over 10y now. Not quite what people that know me expect it to be

No cheating, post your lock screen! No surprise it’s @lyssmenold.bsky.social’s incredible art for my cyberpunk book.

August 4 is also (and more importantly) Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.

This week's #BookishTues theme is #RUB. #WriteSky #writingprompt #writingcommunity

For this #caturday .... meet Muninn, the newest member of the family. Poor thing was wandering in the middle of the road at a job site. No mom or other kittens in the area. We're guessing kitteh is 4-5w old & no idea how long it was on its own. Vet appt is Weds.

Some are mushroom dick’d dump-trucks like Trump and some are pretty like Jared Leto, but they’re all the same predator with the same tricks. Versions of the same creature.

And on to August we go! #BookishTues

Hugh came in while I was furiously scrubbing the kitchen table, and he talked lightly of the #spring rain and the excitement in town—an unsuccessful attempt to rob the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank—and of course of Pike’s Peak. #BookishTues #GoldRush #HistoricalRomance

"Why are you smiling?" "Why aren't you?" "Because, you know, our current situation?" "Everything is better if you see the positive in it." "We are #descending into hell." "And we might as well do so with a #spring in our step!" "Scratch that, I'm already in hell." #vss365 #BookishTues #amwriting

This week's #BookishTues theme is #SPRING #writingprompt #writtingcommunity #writesky

Writing books is difficult, so all of those people who tell you that you do nothing can piss off. I don't know how many times someone has told me that I don't do anything. I usually remind them that I've written, edited, & published 9 books. Don't let people treat you this way.

My new kids picture book just went live! . . . A man living in the Edwardian Age is tormented by a - mockingbird. Mr. Mock the bird "sings" all night long. To get rid of him, the man visits a local witch, who helps - but for a price. www.amazon.com/dp/B0HBCYZ86...

One angular, well-dressed man of about #fifty murmured sincere compliments to the cook and then said to the man across from him, straw-haired, sun-browned, clean-shaven, and dressed in a flannel shirt, “You won’t get grub like this up Cherry Creek, will you?” #BookishTues #GoldRush

This year's #BookishTues was different because each month didn't have a theme, but this week's actually has a reason. I turned #fifty this week. Im not big on bdays but when I was younger, I didn't think I'd make it to this milestone, yet here I am! 😜 #writingcommunity #writingprompt #WriteSky

I love this for them

Has Grammarly gone full Ai now?! Because this is some top tier bullshit! I started using it in the 2010s & ditched it about 5y ago (including unsubscribing from emails, but apparently that didn't mean shit). This is so gross on so many levels.

Hey #Booksky, my spouse, my youngest sibling, and so many others worked their asses off to make this anthology a reality. Please take a look. Pick it up if you can, and/or give it a share. Every little bit helps 🥰

If I see you refer to media (books, movies, anything) with no or low heat as “clean” I will block you. Sex is not dirty, and I say this as someone who is personally repulsed by it. Just because I don’t care for something doesn’t mean it’s bad or wrong.

We decided to check out the priory market in Tallaght – a food market with a range of world cuisines. Here's Thomas enjoying some prawn toast. I have a story in the Irish Times next Saturday, partly inspired by Thomas's adventurous road trips in search of prawn toast.

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

Im turning 50 on Sunday. Younger me would be gobsmacked as I didn't think I'd even make it to 20. Keep going. www.facebook.com/share/r/1D1D...
