I am a writer, of course I have started my next two novels. #WritingCommunity #authors #writers

I am Aseel Ayelia. I write short stories, essays, and poetry through a #feminist #leftist lens on my newsletter. If that sounds good to you, Hi 👋 Nice to meet you. #booksky #debutnovel #authorsky #writersky #poetry #shortstories #poetsky #newsletter #SupportNewAuthors #writingcommunity

Did I post the first three chapters of my debut novel for free on the internet? Yes I did. #TheirBloodyMoney #booksky #debutnovel #authorsky #BooksToRead #SupportNewAuthors #IndieDebut open.substack.com/pub/aseelaye...

A question to #editor and already published #authors. My spelling and grammar is typically a mix between the British and American one. Would that be a bad thing is I keep this mix in my published novel? #writersky #booksky #debutnovel #authorsky

Cuz ya wanna know who is reeeeally engaged in politics? Especially locally? The oligarchs next door :) In LA, a donor is trying to have the state constitution rewritten in Wash. State, a hedge-fund manager funded 6 ballot intiatives In Baltimore, a media owner tried to reshape city council

I want to get to the point in which when I procrastinate writing, I come on here and interact with people instead of going to the platforms I don’t post on. If I am going to waste time, it might as well be put into connect to other writers and readers. #writersky #debutnovel #authorsky #IndieDebut

Not me releasing my novel that has an evil tech bro in it in god’s year of 2025. I wish I could say I planned this, and I am a genius, but it was pure luck. It’s serendipitous even. #TheirBloodyMoney #booksky #debutnovel #authorsky #BooksToRead #SupportNewAuthors #MustReadBooks #IndieDebut

Pretty big deal. @bookshop-org.bsky.social is selling ebooks now. You can now support indies while purchasing digital books. bookshop.org/ebooks

Every time I feel too lazy to write, I remind myself that there is someone who’ll love my writing and I push forward. That’s a lie. I punish myself by self sabotaging and still write cause I have a newsletter to post on. #writerslife #WritersCommunity #writersky #writers #booksky #authorsky

For those interested in politics, don’t ignore AI. AI models will further change politics into something that is probably unrecognizable. Just like a TikTok algo can get what it wants in front of you, campaigns will figure out how to get information to get you to vote , OUTSIDE of your phone/PC

From the introduction of Les Misérables. This quote has proven depressingly timeless. We still need books to inspire compassion for the poor and oppressed #booksky

Same for writers except, instead of the stage of Rediscovering books, it’s discovering writing, followed by writing many #WIPs, and lastly, a #DebutNovel. #writerlife

My hot take on writing a novel is, You should write your novel with no plot or structure in mind, and then plot and structure while editing. My credentials? I have written a novel. #writersky #booksky #debutnovel #authorsky #IndieDebut #WritersLife

The prologue is here! The prologue of my novel, #TheirBloodyMoney, that I am pre-launching on my newsletter is here and I will be delighted if you read it. #writersky #booksky #debutnovel #prelaunchnovel #authorsky #thrillernovel #dramanovel open.substack.com/pub/aseelaye...

Currently listening to Jazz music while editing the short story I will publish on my newsletter today. What are y’all listening to and writing? #writersky #shortstory #booksky #jazzmusic #newsletter

But here we are ringing the alarm bell for a bunch of deaf fellas Who are trained to chase trends and splurge on fads. Punch sideways, then pat themselves on the back. #poetry #poet #politicalpoetry #poem open.substack.com/pub/aseelaye...

Another day of leaking snippets of my up coming novel, #TheirBloodyMoney. Today, its the first line in the novel. #authorsky #writersky #booksky #debutnovel

A questions for #writer Does the first line in your prologue count as the first line of the novel? Or must the first line be the one in the first chapter? #booksky #authorsky

I write to make sense of the world and to escape it. Why do you write? #writersky #writer #writing
