I have been doing exactly 0 self-promo because I want to have several chapters out before I start, but I didn't know giving myself permission to put my writing out there would be so hard even without that.
Therapy comes in many shapes and forms...
3rd act breakup?
Not for me.
3rd act forced separation or fighting for their lives together against plot shenanigans?
All. Fucking. Day.
👏👏👏👏 Louder please!
STOP POSTING GEN AI PICS INTO THE BOOKSKY FEED OH MY GOSH
also, if you use gen ai 'images' to advertise, most of us assume you're using gen ai inside your books and now won't touch them with a ten foot pole and gloves on.
Book cover ready.
I can't believe how gorgeous it is. I'm dead
I've been thinking about that for over a week now. They are ridiculous and inadvertently helpful, doing all the heavy lifting for me 🙌
(It is a problem, though. Preplanning is useless. But at least it's the fun kind of problem.)
Every time I sit down to work on this story I end up laughing to myself because Sawyer and Miguel hate their own bad taste so much. I don't even have to nudge them in the right direction. They're just like that.
Followed. Love your books! ❤️
More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

"Write what you want to read, not what you think you should write" is the advice of the century
Indie authors just want one thing and it's DISGUSTING
(a popular book reviewer to find their book, love it, and rave about it across all of social media)
(btw, book reviewers, you can request copies of my sapphic fantasy books here: dax.ink/review)
Congrats!!!
It's rewriting week for me! I'm changing the location of the first arc in the serialized story I'm working on from something I thought would be interesting to something I know is interesting (to me, personally).

Maybe they're waiting for the real world to make narrative sense again!
Fellow writing cave dwellers on #writersky!
How's your wordcount going today? Are YOUR characters behaving? How much of your original outline actually survived the winter? 😂
I didn't know I'd feel legitimately sad about these news, but yeah. I wish this McDonald's person a very food poisoning.
“I have too many books”
-judgemental
-boring
-implies impulse-control issues
“The books... they have me.”
- mysterious
- occult
- implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage

Hi @sevenstories.bsky.social im just curious if you used ai art for this cover for a book on homelessness? Can’t find any info on a cover artist and it has a significant number of artifacts
The other day I was pitching our Gilded Age course to undergrads:
“Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a nation where the wealthy had insane power and ordinary people were reoeatedly crushed by them until they lashed out in anger?”
Bookworm bingo
it's clear now that republican trolls are squatting here. i know it's tempting to engage, but i cannot stress enough that blocking is the only way to preserve this community. block and move on. block and move on. block and move on.
Reader for now, technically. Hello! I enjoyed Splintered a lot.
Hi, thanks for the follow back! Can't wait to share what I'm working on.
A promo for a "stuff your Kindle" event called "Queer for the New Year" taking place on December 31st, 2024. Black text against a cream background with rainbow fireworks. The promo reads: Queer for the New Year. December 31st, 2024. A "Stuff your kindle" day celebrating queer representation.
REPOSTING to include ALT text:
Hey friends! I’m organizing a #queer #stuffyourkindle day to celebrate queer representation in the coming new year! 🏳️🌈💖
I'm liking this for Sakura but I WISH YOU SUCCESS
I am working on a round up of Thanksgiving romances for I Prefer Reading. Have any of the writers in my feed or over here on Bluesky written any that they would like to recommend?

Hey y'all, this is crazy. Thanks for all the follows (and follow backs)!
I'll clean up my own follows within the week so I can interact more with moots. Starter packs are great but overwhelming, and I want to make the most of the human aspect of our still-blue skies.
Silfur is very welcome! All cats are the best cat
