Love this! I feel like there's this "hermit poet" stereotype that stops people fully coming into their poetry and art - this definitely sounds like it'll dispel some of that 🥳💗 will definitely be taking part

nowiamtherain.bsky.social•69 days ago

I so agree with you, Alan

degen3rate.bsky.social•61 days ago

Grimdark poet and cosmic horror enjoyer, reporting for duty

ajdeane.bsky.social•61 days ago

Grimdark poetry? Cool! I'm an SFF / spec poetry writer, myself. 👍

degen3rate.bsky.social•61 days ago

I write a lot about death and the universality of suffering

ajdeane.bsky.social•61 days ago

That is both grim and dark!
I write a lot about being disappointed in the human race, and essentially good people doing bad things.

degen3rate.bsky.social•61 days ago

No shortage of inspiration there, lol

ajdeane.bsky.social•61 days ago

Yeeeeep!

rotherwrites.bsky.social•71 days ago

I'll get back to you on this Alan; looks like something seismic is going on and I need to work read the detail.

alanparry83.bsky.social•71 days ago

It might really take off purely because it's not a major ask of any individual. We shall see! #LiftToTheSky

bethbpoet.bsky.social•71 days ago

I love your commitment and positivity. Sad for me but the things you want me to do make me feel overwhelmed. Sorry.

alanparry83.bsky.social•71 days ago

That's OK. If this takes hold, maybe you'll feel up to it some time in the future.

philippabowe.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yeeees! Love it, will definitely join in. Thanks for the initiative!

alanparry83.bsky.social•71 days ago

If people don't join in, it won't work. If they do it's gonna be joyous! #LiftToTheSky

Thanks Alan!

merrildsmith.bsky.social•71 days ago

This is such a beautiful idea. I'm still figuring out Bluesky, and I think I miss a lot, but I will try to participate when I can. 😊

alanparry83.bsky.social•71 days ago

Trying to get people to stop in their tracks and think about how we can better use this space. Because it's so good to not be dealing with the hell hole that is X. But I'm not seeing anything of this nature here. Let's see what happens! #LiftToTheSky

everlastinglight.bsky.social•71 days ago

I see folks like you and @billymills.bsky.social really do a great job lifting up other writers. Thanks for helping make the BlueSky writing community a great place. 🫶🏼

alanparry83.bsky.social•71 days ago

Just trying to make the best of this wonderful (not-x) platform. #LiftToTheSky it's all about you writers!

billymills.bsky.social•71 days ago

Thank you!

ajdeane.bsky.social•61 days ago

Great initiative!

lozzawriting.bsky.social•70 days ago

Sounds ace! I'm in!

sarahperssonauthor.bsky.social•71 days ago

Thank you for bringing this. Looks fab.

alanparry83.bsky.social•70 days ago

It will only work if people get involved. #LiftToTheSky

spiderwebjoanna.bsky.social•70 days ago

This sounds brilliant, but I cannot draw. Will it be ok if I use AI art?

alanparry83.bsky.social•70 days ago

You don't need to be able to draw. I don't mind how you go about it, so long as you are promoting another writer and tagging @brokenspinearts.bsky.social and using #LiftToTheSky so I can promote them too.

spiderwebjoanna.bsky.social•70 days ago

Thank you for clearing that up. I will get on with it.
