Hello everyone! I'm NC Sayers, an autistic science fiction and fantasy writer who likes writing about strong autistic heroines. I'll be sharing inspiration, writing events, and trying not to go nuts getting story ideas from the news. Excited to connecting!
Well, that’s one way to discover an idea for a science fiction story. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #WriteSky #WriterSky #WritingCommunity #sun #cosmology

Wait, that’s a thing? #SpecFic #SpecLit #HorrorLit #HorrorFic #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WriterSky

Just watch. I’m going to learn how to make some of it, too. 😁
Great. I have to research food people ate during the Victorian era as research for a dystopian novel. My stomach officially hates me. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #WriterSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
Maritime ghost story idea, anyone? #SpecFic #SpecLit #horror #HorrorLit #HorrorFic #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WriterSky

And that’s why I’m eager to read Parable of the Sower this year. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit

Note to everyone! Writer’s Digest is having its annual conference coming up in July. I’m especially looking forward to the preconference workshop. #AmWriting #WriteSky #WriterSky #WritingCommunity

Well, that’s one way to prove you can create a destructive cult out of anything. Story idea, anyone? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #AmWriting

Not exactly going to keep us speculative fiction writers from taking it and running with it, though. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #geology #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WriterSky

I’m newly engaged and I’m already dreaming up potential story ideas themed around the process of engagement and marriage. I apologize for nothing. #AmWriting #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #engaged #marriage
Unless you want to hear about the story ideas we come up with, never put a writer in a snowstorm. #writing #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #AmWriting
I draft my stories by hand first, and now I have five pieces to type up. That is an actual sentence I just wrote. #AmWriting #amwriting #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WriterSky
There’s probably hope in more than just solarpunk, but who’s counting? I think we could all use a little hope these days. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #dystopian #dystopia #solarpunk #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WriterSky

Well, I wouldn’t exactly call it progress, since I only wrote one chapter of the dystopian story. But it’s getting pretty close to 2000 words and expected to be longer.
I’m only one chapter into a dystopian science fiction story and I already have an idea for a steampunk novel. I apologize for nothing. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #steampunk #dystopian #dystopia #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WriterSky #AmWriting
Never ask a writer how their current novel project is coming along when you know they have a full time job. It won’t end well. #AmWriting #WriteSky #WriterSky
That moment when you wrote two pages for your short story and you realize you’re still not going to complete it this round.

This is what writers have to do in the name of revising a short story. Even when they’re writing speculative fiction. Here’s to hoping it’s worth just time. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #WriteSky #WriterSky #AmWriting #AmEditing #WritingCommunity

Precisely. And something I’ve done before.
That feeling when you realize a short story or flash fiction piece you started wasn’t working out. At least I knew when to cut my losses. #AmWriting #amwriting #WriteSky #WriterSky #WritingCommunity
Well, that’s one way of giving me an idea for a story. An underground network of witches you can hire to curse or hex a target sounds like a cool television show. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #witch #spell #spells #WriteSky #WriterSky #WritingCommunity

In addition to writing, I’m also a hobby soap maker. I was making soap the other day and accidentally spilled lye water all over me.
It hurt like hell, but count on a writer to try and work this into a story.

Looks like what I imagine a ghost would look like. Good luck describing that in a story. #horror #HorrorFic #HorrorLit #AmWriting #WriteSky #WriterSky

Awesome. SFWA’s all-volunteer mentorship application process is starting soon. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #WriteSky #WriterSky

Huh. I didn’t even know that was a thing. Extra detail of realism for life on a frontier moon, anyone? #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #moon #astronomy #geology #WriteSky #WriterSky #WritingCommunity

You know what, I would totally read that
You could just claim aliens built them. 😜 All kidding aside, that sounds like a good story idea. #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #history #archaeology #WriteSky #WriterSky

As if I needed another reason to avoid Tate’s Bake Shop. By the way, Tate’s. Thanks for the material for dystopian science fiction. #union #unions #sff #SpecFic #SpecLit #newyork #NewYork #dystopia #dystopian

Point taken. There are probably some. But I’m of a mind that there might not be enough.
I’m thinking I just might. How many speculative fiction stories feature disabled women as the protagonists anyway?
