If you've been thinking about class, rebellions, and revolution--for any reason at all--may I suggest WE LIVED ON THE HORIZON? I promise it won't shatter you. But it may make you think about how you want to live in these times. tinyurl.com/28wcxjph
We Lived on the Horizon

I read @erikaswyler.bsky.social’s book “We Lived on the Horizon” and really enjoyed it. It has cool worldbuilding, interesting characters (including a sapient AI), and thought-provoking discussion about wealth inequality. #booksky #scifi
“Y’all” is a gender-neutral pronoun. Was the South woke all along???

Can't I just be a weird, asocial nerd who writes books for other weird, asocial nerds?
Doctor: We’ve received your test results. Me: Give it to me straight, Doc. How bad is it? Doctor: The diagnosis says that you’re “Online.” Me: Oh god. Doctor: And I’m afraid it’s terminal. Me: *tearfully takes selfie*
Is there a SF/F book that focuses on sociological topics like “The Left Hand of Darkness,” has multiple POV characters, and was written in the last 10 years? If so, I desperately need to read it. #BookSky #Fiction #WhatToRead
Trains are objectively cooler than cars, and I can prove it with math: 🚆>🚘
I love starting new writing projects, but I struggle to finish anyth
Me, outlining: "Outlining is the hardest part of writing" Me, drafting: "Drafting is the hardest part of writing" Me, editing: "Editing is the hardest part of writing"
making characters and creative writing in general is so embarrassing because invariably all the characters i write end up at their core being built around the same insecurities and fears as i have 😔
Reminder that libraries loan out ebooks and audiobooks online. You can get a book FOR FREE without leaving your couch.
Lemons are great because they’re consistent. No one ever says “oh no, these lemons are too sour.” You know what you’re getting, every time
This Day in Labor History: December 5, 1955. The American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations merged into the AFL-CIO. Let's talk about this rather uninspiring moment in our labor history and what it tells us about the impact of the Cold War on the labor movement!
Just sent my WIP fantasy novel to beta readers! Whispers of a Nation features a magic-powered radio station, sapphic romance, a shape-changing POV character, labor strikes, and excessive descriptions of food. #writing #fantasy #writingcommunity
“Write what you know” is apparently NOT a valid excuse to duel with broadswords in a Denny’s parking lot.
TFW you're editing a particularly harrowing chapter and you feel guilty for the horrors you're putting your characters through. This is a universal writer experience, right? #WritingCommunity #WriterSky
Writers: Oh, my God Fantasy writers: Oh, my Gods
Writing Tip: I can never repeat enough that all writers should have a saved copy of their work that isn't on the web/cloud. As safe as you think it might be, outages happen. Technology can glitch. The last thing you want is to lose months of work. Back it up! #writing #writingtips #writingcommunity
Tag yourself with the job you’d actually have in the Star Wars universe given your occupation. “Have you tried turning the hyperdrive off and on again? Well, are your fuel cells plugged in?”
Jay Blundell@jayblundell.bsky.social · 2y agoTag yourself with the job you’d actually have in the Star Wars universe given your occupation. The same one, I think, but monumentally harder. It's bad enough learning medicine for commonly kept Earth species, now I need to learn how to treat alien ones???
So many libraries even offer the ability to get a library card online! Seriously, get a library card! 💙📚
COREY@615corey615.bsky.social · 2y agoOnce again must I remind you to GET A LIBRARY CARD.

The perfect person sounds pretty boring. I'd rather hear stories about how you got those dents and scars, the wrinkles from time spent in the sun and the laugh lines.
It’s Friday evening, no more distractions, it’s finally time to write! *falls asleep in computer chair at 7:50 PM* #writing
I'm editing and I'm wondering if there's a way that I can get the PC to give me an electric shock every time I type the words 'just', 'again', 'still'. If I have to delete one more of these extraneous words then I may experience some kind of episode. #writing
Writing Tip: Stress to your hands (like carpal tunnel) is a serious threat to a writer. Stop if you start to feel discomfort or soreness. Resting and avoiding further stress on your hands will mean healing faster and you can get back to writing without damage #writing #writingtips #writingcommunity
New here! I write SF/F stories. Looking forward to connecting with other writers and industry professionals
