A new groan-worthy writer joke: A writer is marching down the road with a scythe and plough, following a stubborn ox. Itβs unclear whoβs in charge: him or the ox. A stranger calls out: βWhat are you doing?β Writer: βOn my way to work the plot.β :P #WritingCommunity #amwriting #jokes
Italian painter Agnolo Bronzinoβs oil painting "Portrait of a Young Man with a Book" (1530s). I guess #paintings could have served as the Renaissance version of Bookstagram. Just a bit more tiring getting posts from A to B. :P :P :P #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amreading #BookSky #art

Kristina Killgrove@killgrove.bsky.social Β· 2mo agoJust learned about this game -- you're given 10 artifacts / day (from The Met's collection) and have to guess where they were made and when. πΊπ§ͺ And it's hard! I only got top 35%, which is kinda sad as an archaeologist & author of our Astonishing Artifacts column @livescience.com. anthropeum.com
God is an American. Watched the NBA Finals. Several Knicks players claimed #God was on their side. Tough break for the Spurs. One team drafts the Almighty; the other is left with the Devil, eh? ;) In sports, why not. In war, people claim it too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT3c... #DavidBowie

Hey, haven't posted anything in 3 weeks (shocking), coz I had absolutely nothing to say (what a concept). In unrelated news: I'm boycotting this year's Soccer World Cup coz... well, hey. Conveniently, this gives me a huge number of extra hours to work on my #writing. :) #WritingCommunity
I was going to share photos of my author copies of Together is a Distant Star today, but USPS lost my books and delivered an empty box to my house. I am not happy. So anyway, go check out our anthology! It was a great group to work with and includes 12 fantastic stories! books2read.com/DistantStar

My mind is completely eschering itself today (yes, that's a verb :P ). Every time I touch my #WIP, the plot develops another staircase leading upside down into its own trousers. Think I need some fresh air... if I can locate a staircase that believes in conventional geometry. #WritingCommunity

Dropping a fresh, groan-worthy writer #joke: A writer sat shivering in his cabin, pages blowing everywhere. His friend said, βClose the window. Thereβs a terrible draft in here.β The writer looked hurt at the manuscript scattered on the floor. βYou really think itβs that bad?β :P #WritingCommunity

Exploring #poems from different cultures is a brilliant way to widen your own poetic expression. Lately, I've been deeply moved by this Viet song. Even in translation, the lyrics feel timeless. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS2Q... English lyrics: lyricstranslate.com/en/trinh-con... #WritingCommunity

Excited to share a throwback to my short story which was published in @mooncityreview.bsky.social and later nominated for a Pushcart Prize. This was my first major publication after almost two years of submitting into the void, so it meant a lot to me. #fiction, #writingcommunity, #shortstory
