I have set myself a personal writing challenge for August. Got a nice soft start as the month started on a weekend and the goal is week-day based. What are your goals for the month ahead? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Going through and decluttering all my childhood and teenage stuff, and there is proof that the writerly habits started early... #WriteSky

Today in weird writer search history: What does being tasered feel like? Any answers, or any interesting things you've been searching lately below... #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

TIL that if you switch between Mac and Windows you have to repurchase Scrivener. But the file transferred safely, which is the main thing. Now to remember what the heck I was doing in this project... #WriteSky

Up to date on my rejection admin 😂I knew a couple had come in during the upside down times of moving, so I went all through my list and double checked. Buuuut the Really Exciting Thing is still in the pending list 👀 #WriteSky #ShortStories

Having one of those months where, if it was fiction, I feel like the writer would be told to tone it down. Like, all this stuff happening at once? Kinda unbelievable. Also, a lot of it is really out of nowhere and doesn't seem to go with the main sources of stress/conflict. Yikes. #WriteSky

Ahhhh this is getting SO close. But close is not enough. Please, please help this project get over the line! I have a cool aro-ace sci-fi sleeping beauty story in here, and all the other story blurbs I've read are 🔥 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c... #writesky #writingcommunity #aroace

Ending Sunday Writing Group in style... Purchasing my tea gave me EXACTLY the right number of points to get a slice of lemon meringue pie for free. #WriteSky #Cafe

I have a few things to read on a deadline (ARC copies, book qlub book) and I have now sorted out what devices they're available on and what order I need to read them in. Phew. #ReadSky #AmReading #Booksky

Want to get your hands on a story about queer people fighting corporations through recycling, gender chaos and giant robots? 'MY MECHSUIT IS AN ANTICAPITALIST MACHINE' was previously published in a limited print run, but is a digital add on for this campaign. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

For me, part of 'going stale' between writing sessions is imagining the mess I left is worse than it is - that everything is stuck and bad and yucky and I have no idea what to do. Sometimes, a productive writing session is poking about for 30 minutes just to prune back those thoughts. #WriteSky

Sunday writing café had new drinks, so I enjoyed an apricot jasmine iced tea as part of my Sunday writing treat. Got lots of writing admin done and had a good chat with a new group member. #WriteSky #Writingcommunity

Watched a really good video on kishotenketsu. Got inspired, spent the day like this. No idea if I actually followed the formula but I enjoyed both the process and the product, and that's the main thing. #Shortstory #Writesky #WritingCommunity

Please help these wonderful people meet their goal! They're truly a joy to work with, they gave my little acespec fantasy story its home, and they put out fab magazines. #Fantasy #Writesky

Tales & Feathers Magazine@talesfeathers.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Hello friends, we are 🎉✨LIVE ON KICKSTARTER!! ✨🎉 WE'RE FUNDING: 🌟 T&F Year 5 💫 T&F Year 6 and, if we reach $15k: our first ever Tales & Feathers PRINT EDITION! 🎊📚‼️ Check it out below! Like, share, and back the campaign to help us bring our dreams into reality. 💚

Behold my strength of character... I am decluttering, and I took books to the charity bookshop AND DID NOT GO IN TO GET MORE BOOKS.

Am on chapter 9 of the rewrite but had an idea in the shower for how to make chapter 2 more action-driven and interactive, so back we go... #AmEditing #WriteSky

If you have a vote in the BFS Awards, I humbly ask you to consider my book, the fab people who made it happen, and some other folks who I was lucky enough to work with. @wctracy.bsky.social and @talesfeathers.bsky.social are lovely people doing and deserving wonderful things #Writesky #Fantasy

I always read at bedtime, and I finished my book last night. Now I am torn between the excitement of a new book and the overwhelm of having left the biggest decision of my day to the point where I am the most tired. #BookSky #AmReading

Eeee woke up to an email that my story has been passed up the chain for a dream magazine! Whichever way that decision goes, that's progress and a massive compliment. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #ShortStory

I normally write soft, sunshiney characters. So writing from snarky grump POV is a fun change. #CampRevPit #OneLineMC #Writesky

It's that delightful time of the year, for which I have waited so eagerly: the COMMON BONDS 3 Table of Content Reveal 💙 This aromantic anthology will have a crowdfunding campaign during Pride, so please follow us on BackerKit! But for now: a thread! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... 💙📚️

I'm currently on a 0th the 1st draft rewrite of my Legends and Lattes X The IT Crowd fantasy novel. It has grump/sunshine. It has queer platonic, nonbinary and ace rep. It has a very silly premise and very heartfelt messages about adult loneliness and friendships. #CampRevPit

Revise & Resub@reviseresub.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Good morning, Campers! 🏕️ Let's kick off #CampRevPit with some introductions! Use #CampKickoff to tell us a bit about yourself and what you're working on. Pitch it in any way, shape, or form.

Maiden submission voyage for one of my short stories! Always feels good to start putting a new one out there. #ShortStory #WriteSky

A short story contract I just signed included both English and Spanish first print rights... so, can I check 'sold foreign language rights' off my author bingo card? #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Horchata and book qlub ❤️❤️❤️
