why am I at work today. I should be laying on a bed of moss, slowly letting the forest subsume me
my phone just autocorrected my to km/h??? physics. it haunts me.
I don't want to talk to gemini in a fancy hat I don't want to ask chatgpt I don't want to use Copilot at work I want to Walk Slowly Into The Ocean and Become Kelp.
the ig algorithm hated this for some reason, but I’m still proud of it 🥰 I think it would be fun to do more little projects like this! #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #fantasybooks #reading #fantasymusic #music

the sun weighs heavy on the land teeming and vibrant distant promises of life now blooming thin strands of gossamer break across my shins— the race is run and summers won the oak king rules again #writing #writesky #writingcommunity #poem #poetry #summer #nature #bloomscrolling #druidsky #obod
after one (1) day of hot weather, I would like to announce I am ready for autumn now
red-eye + chocolate pastry, while a delicious combination, was perhaps not the smartest move right before a 4hr training glued to a computer screen 😅
my writing routine starts, weather-dependent, with a wander in the woods and a little warm-up in the notes app on my phone. this was my warm-up this morning, after which I finished initial edits on chapter 1 of project sunheist! #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky #poetry

a fine silk of wind against my skin, sun-warm and caressed by errant petals, pink and fallen. one finds it’s way beneath my collar, nestled against heartbone I inhale that wind, and seed a lungful of bubblegum spring

The witch frog, guardian of the book of hidden swamp magic, feels happy to be working with what she loves.
my heart just wanted to be out in the sun today, but I managed to get through the 3 scenes I needed to write — now back outside I go! #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity

I usually know the ending before I know the beginning!! I initially conceive of my projects more in terms of vibes and themes, so the first thing I figure out is how a story arc could reflect the themes I want to work with then the issue is figuring out where to begin… #camprevpit #crpshrikes
Safiya Bint Saleh@safiyabintsaleh.bsky.social · 3mo agoDAY 11 ACTIVITY: We're almost to the end of camp! How do you come up with the perfect ending to your book? Do you already know how your current project will end? Bonus: What do you hope to do next writing-wise after camp ends? #CRPShrikes
finished what moves the dead by t. kingfisher earlier this week; this evening I’m reading the gilded wolves by roshani chokshi
maybe slightly to the left of the actual prompt, but I really love developing distinct character voices—within the narrative prose specifically, but dialogue too. there’s just something so satisfying about having it all come together and reflect an individual personality #camprevpit #crpshrikes
Safiya Bint Saleh@safiyabintsaleh.bsky.social · 3mo agoDAY 9 ACTIVITY: What is your favorite element of writing a book? (For example, dialogue, beginnings, endings, flashbacks, descriptions, etc) Bonus: What element of writing is the hardest for you? #CRPShrikes
please someone tell me why my gym is playing careless whisper???
haven’t had much time to write since I picked up some shifts last week — but tomorrow and Thursday are both dedicated writing days, so hopefully I’ll be able to get through a few more chapters on this draft by the end of the week #camprevpit #crpshrikes
Safiya Bint Saleh@safiyabintsaleh.bsky.social · 3mo agoWe're in week 2 of camp! How much progress have you made on your project? Have your goals shifted since the start of camp? Respond to fellow campers to hype them up! Bonus: Share a snippet from something you've worked on since camp started (if you’re comfortable)! #CRPShrikes
the words are allowed to be bad in the first draft, but then I have to read them later 😩 #camprevpit #crpshrikes #gifrevisions
Revise & Resub@reviseresub.bsky.social · 3mo agoGood morning, Campers! 🏕️ Hope the spirits are high as we get into the second week of #CampRevPit! Today, use #GifRevisions and describe your revision process with a gif, meme, photo, or whatever visual tickles your fancy.
