Vermillion's story is a lovely way to spend some hours. The world is gorgeous, the characters are messy, and the plot is a wonderful mixture of both. My favourite (spoiler-free) parts were Jack's entire existence and the scene with the eel. Go read it! #booksky #readers #reading

I painted this with @felinefero.bsky.social 's acrylic paint markers the other day and it was SUPER fun. Made the shapes by overlaying 2 emptied tile sheets from the Dorfromantik boardgame. Which is also fun. #art #dorfromantik #green #blue #gold #silver #dontknowwhatImdoing
My roommate and I have two incredibly cuddly cats, neither of whom will suffer to be caught cuddling either one of us. As soon as a foot is heard upon the stair, you can guarantee that cat is out of your arms, across the room, cleaning themself free of your stank #cats
Tiernan Blanchard@gaycannibalism.bsky.social · last wk.I did get a cuddle for a bit, but I was abandoned when spouse came downstairs as it was very important to beg for food. And now it is too hot for cuddles, but she meows at me for attention every time I pass her.
Why did you transition? Right answers only: Realised being a miserable pile of secrets was less miserable than the alternative. Since then realised I don't have to be a miserable anything, because I discovered that what, for me, were two miserable "alternatives" aren't actually the only options ⚧️

Eeh... AI will not change how I write. End of.
Kayleigh Diaz @kayleighdiaz.com · 4w ago8 | July 8 = The Great Eight Em Dash Debate! (Idk it rhymes 😅) Purportedly a sign of AI is the overuse of the em dash, so much so that *human* writers have started to shy away from it. So, where do you stand? Delete & replace or keep ‘em (ha) close to your heart? #SummerOfStories #WritingPrompt

John James Temminck, name taken from Temminck's Stint. A hinted-at bi man dragged into piracy, he was well-loved, cocky, quippy and deeply, unintentionally, annoying: everything always worked out for him with minimal effort. #WritingPrompt #QueerWriters #TransWriters #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Plantser. I may have a summary for each chapter before starting to write, but I also leave space to improvise and tweak, if things don't feel right #SummerOfStories #WritingPrompt #transwriters #queerwriters #writingcommunity #WriteSky

All of them always, but right now in particular I'm working on endings and sensory descriptions. Endings are particularly hard for me because, in our lives, nothing ever really ends, does it? It just changes. #writingq #writingcommunity #queerwriters #transwriters

Preface: I've studied education. While tests do let the teacher know where students are at, they serve a more important purpose: letting the student know where they're at, whether due to their ease while answering questions or the grade they get back. Anyway, genAI helps no one. STOP #education
Wanda Walker@wandawalker.bsky.social · 2mo agothis is the thing. if you know your professor is using it to grade your shit, why would you even care. I'd fucking chatgpt all that shit too, and I'm someone who actually cares about writing. Student sense when their teachers don't give a fuck, and they act accordingly.
Sitting down to do anything I love and then, 3 hours later, I've done literally everything else. Having to wear reactive lenses on even semi-bright days because the sun be sunning. Wearing earplugs and/or headphones in the supermarket. Developing a strict routine and losing it after a month
FelineFero🏳️⚧️🐈⬛@felinefero.bsky.social · 2mo agoSometimes I think "I'm not THAT ND" but whenever I see a harp, I immediately have to ID it, and if I don't know the make and model, I will spend time, hours if I must, researching until I can ID it. I am not even slightly a harp expert btw. Tell me your "oh wait, I am THAT ND" things?
@felinefero.bsky.social is front row centre. Beside them is the one family member I trust with my work who accepted the challenge. Behind is a host of friends, including @lnxst.bsky.social and some uni friends I have a write club with #LGBTQWriteAThon #queerwriters #transwriters #writingcommunity

I'm not super up to date on tropes so I think other people will be more qualified to answer this than me, but I CAN say that all of my MCs are LGBTQIA+. If it happens all the time, does that make it a trope? #LGBTQWriteAThon #queerwriters #transwriters #writingcommunity
