Listening to Low Roars final album released last week. What a beautiful piece of posthumous work, must be such a sad and touching time for the band. Definitely worth a listen. #music #lowroar

I have been entirely addicted to the first Citizen Sleeper this week. Any one got any book recommendations that hit a similar vibe? Not enjoyed a game this much in a long time! #booksky #gamesky #scifi

The Memory of Trees finishes! ⭐️⭐️.25 What started as a very interesting plot about a tree restoration creating supernatural events dwindled out very fast for me. Some of the worst written women I’ve read in a while, almost every single one talking about wanting to screw the MC non stop #booksky

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Just realised that "Gene Hackman" is the exact name that Hideo Kojima would give a biochemist

Short story writers, how long do you give your story to 'settle' before you start submitting it for anthologies etc? I am preparing to make my first submission and resisting the urge to just submit straight away, figure its good to re read after some time to get 'fresh' eyes? #Writing #writesky

If you are a BLACK INDIE AUTHOR, reply to this tweet with a blurb about your book and a link of where to purchase it. If you are a reader please repost this! #booksky #blackbooksky #diversebooks #blackhistorymonth

Puppy cuddles and a book - what better way to start a Monday! Small spoilers for ‘The Memory of Trees’ if you zoom on the text. #booksky #dogsofbluesky

Busy weekend with the dog, missed this yesterday! "The leak persisted, growing stronger and wilder, a drip becoming a torrent, already filling the floor of the cellar and congealing with the straw and excrement and the stench of the misery of the place." 6/20 #Booksky #Writing #Writesky

Authors, if you see this, it’s a sign to post the first line from your book: “The man lent against the trunk of the tree, near collapsing as he slid down onto the floor.” #writesky #writing

Sometimes it’s so hard deciding between reading or writing or gaming that I’ll spend the night in decision paralysis and achieve absolutely nothing 🙃 #booksky #writesky #adhd

Writers, you might be struggling rn. Math might help. No, seriously. If you write 300 (around a page) words a day, you will have an 80k book in 267 days. Less than a year. If it's 200 words, it will take a little more than a year. Doing it slowly is still doing it. 💪

"Grasping at his subconscious, clawing at his already fraying sanity and luring him.. somewhere." 5/20 #Booksky #Writesky #Writing

There is a stiff competition between my search history when running D&D and my search history when writing horror for the title of “reason I’m going to end up arrested” 📚🩸 #D&D #writesky #horror #horrorwriting

"Tussled dirty blonde hair fell down below his ears, a sharp shock of red revealing the location of the wound upon his head." 4/20 #Booksky #Writing #Writesky

A sentence a day for 20 days "She is standing beside a timeless road in a land she doesn’t know but doesn’t need to." 3/20 #writing #writesky #Booksky

There is a certain relief when reading a new book and almost immediately vibing with it, especially just after finishing one that was a chore to get through! 📚💙 #booksky

Think I'm gonna try and start collecting rejection slips this year alongside writing my novel - get some short stories on the go as well! #writing #writesky

“The cabin had that cold, grey quality that only an abandoned space can have.” 2/20 #Booksky #writing #writesky

The dangerous itch to reinstall dead by daylight is getting harder to ignore

Heads up to the writing people here: if you are contacted by Lynn Painter this is a scam account trying to sell marketing/editing services. Confirmed with the author that she is not on Bluesky! #booksky #writesky #scam

This is a fun sounding challenge! 1/20 "The branches swayed lightly in a breeze, the trees groaning in conversation, their language long since lost to time." #Writing #Writesky #booksky

House of a Hundred Whispers finished. That was a slog. ⭐️.25 I do not recommend. Full review (but still short) on StoryGraph #Booksky 📚💙

Folks, if you live in Scotland, you can join the National Library of Scotland online and access an enormous range of materials, including old newspapers, reference books and academic journals auth.nls.uk/join/

How much do you visualise when you read? And how much do you like authors to describe? For me, I realised I always have vivid scenes and locations in my minds eye, but I almost never picture character appearances! Clearly all about the vibes for me! #Booksky 📚💙

I meant to do a giveaway when I got to 20k followers but completely missed that by not noticing. Here's a giveaway, unfortunately only for the UK though Tell me your favourite horror book in the comments by midnight GMT 27/1 for a chance to win both books (not the goth book) 💙📚 #BookSky #Horror
